Ok so I have been seeing a lot of threads lately asking questions about how to install a sound system in your cars. As a former Circuit City Roadshop installer I am here to help answer your questions. Hopefully this will clear up some of your questions. I dont take full credit for this. I give some to www.the12volt.com If you have a question. Go there before posting it on here. 9 times out of 10 you will find the answer.
NOTE: I take no responsibility if you mess up your car from my info.

Amp/Sub Wiring Info
12v- Connect directly to battery's positive terminal
Remote- Connect to blue wire behind the headunit (Note: If you connect this to the power antenna lead on the headunit the subs/amp will only work you turn on the AM/FM source on the radio)
Ground- Connect to bare metal on the chassis of the car. I personally use the bolt of the rear seat, seatbelt
Speakers/Sub Output
This will vary depending on whether the Amp is 1, 2 or 4 Channel
Positive to Positive, Negative to Negative
