    Inserted the Speakers Into The Amp

    Inserted The Turn On Lead Into The AMp

    Grounded The Other Red Wire From A Bolt In the trunk To The AMp

    Check your RCAS from the head unit to the amp to make sure they are plugged in. Also check and make sure the speaker wires are in the correct terminal. Positve with positive, and negative with negative. I hooked up my amp the other day and hooked a negative in the positive and it didnt work but atleast it was a simple fix.

    also make sure that the RCA's are plugged in the the input of the amp, not the output..

    no rca's outputs? then you need a line out converter. stock head units dont have rca jacks in the back of them.

    18$ at walmart. speaker wires go in one side and the rca's plug into the other side and they go to your amp/s

    ok wait. does your amp have speaker inputs also? if it does then you dont need a line out converter.

    now if your amp only has rca inputs you do need the LOC.

    can you post your amps model and or a pic of the amp?

    ok it looks like your amp has speaker level inputs. so you dont need the line out converter.

    i jus checked the amp and i seen the speaker inputs.it have 4 places for a wire...so all i do is get four wires then find the right speaker wires for the door speakers and run them back to the slots in my amp?

    ok there is your prob. you dont have an input going to the amp.

    splice into the wires going to the rear speakers in your trunk and run them into the speaker level inputs of the amp.

    ok sorry let me see if i am understanding this right

    ok i find the rear speakers wires .connect a wire to the both of them and run into the amp level imputs....but that is only 2 wires..do i need to do that to the front speakers to insert into the other two slots in the amp?

    you should have 4 wires for the rear speakers. one set of + and - for each speaker.
