they are not hard to install but can be a bit tricky first time round
would be a good idea to have someone who has do it before to guide you along as you install it
but yeah all you need to do is using the red 8ga cable to run from the battery to the amp and wire it up to the +bat i think thats what it says on amps :confused:, also have the fuse provided as close to the battery as possible, no more than 300mm of wire
use the other 8ga wire for the ground wire, should be either brown or black, connect one end into the grd on the amp and the other end somewhere where there is bear metal, wire must be less than 200mm
then theres the remote wire to turn on the amp which should be between the ground and power wire outputs, this has to be wire to the remote wire on the deck
now for the speakers, using the wire from the main harness extend the wire so you can run it to the amp so it can send the signal to your speakers
then theres the RCA's you will need to sets of RCA's that run from the deck (outputs) to the inputs on the amp
P.S. this is written up as the amp being a 4channel amp and the deck having at least 2 pre-outs and the amp install kit being an 8ga kit
please state your h/u, if its a 2ch or 4ch amp and what type of install kit you have
