You need to run wires.......

Basically you need a 12v source, so a run of power wire from the battery with a fuse in line to the amp.

You need the ground the amp so just find a nice solid piece of metal (pref one with a bolt in it already eg: seat belt bolt) sand back the paint and ground the amp there.

You need a remote wire to tell the amp to turn on this will be connected to the back of the headunit.

Then you need to run some RCA's or speaker wires from the headunit the amp the amp to get the signal from the source to the amp, depending on the amp you may only be able to use RCA's.

Then you need to feed the output of the amp to each speaker this is done by running speaker wire from the speaker terminals on the amp directly to the speakers themselves.

Honestly though mate, do a search you will find alot of info to sift through then there should only be a couple little questions left which are normally car specific.

i know how to wire up an amp and everything done it several times, just don't know where the boot lid speakers run to and the ones in the door to run it to an amp under the passenger seat

Well you didn't really explain that you know how to do it.

There are factory rubber grommets with rubber tubing, your wires go from the cabin through those and into the boot/doors.

They run to the back of your head unit, just tap in there using a harness adapter (aerpro etc.)
