    Going through the firewall simply cut a slit in existing Grommet and push Power Cable through. Use at least 8 Gauge Power Cable and make sure you have more then enough length.

    Run your power cable(s) on one side of the car and run the RCA and Speaker cables on the other side unless you like Alternator whine.

    Don't forget to run the remote turn-on lead from the h/u. Buy some Tie-wraps to keep the cables together and a clean look. If in doubt most shops will do it for about $50 for a 4CH amp.

    1. when you layout the wiring on your car, make sure the power wire is on the other side and the signal cables are on the other.

    2. use the shortest ground that you possibly can

    3. just wire each channel to each speaker, observing polarity and proper ohm load of course.

    DO NOT BRIDGE ANY OF THE CHANNELS!
