How to hook up an amp to car speakers?

Well I'm taking off all the excess weight off my car and getting rid of my subs and custom floor I made in the trunk. I want to have a little kick for my inside speakers cause they sound like they need some power. I got infinity up front and pioneers up back. I need to know how to hook up my amp to them to give them some boost cause my deck isn't giving enough. I'm clueless to wiring an amp to the inside speakers and would like to know how.

Basically... you'd have your signal going from your deck to your amp, and then you'd run the wires from your amp to your speakers, pretty straightforward, here's a diagram I found...

sweet thanks alot, but unfortunately I think my amp is blown or something cause I got everything hooked up and no power. This is why I took out my subs in the first place cause they didn't work. How would I know if its the amp or just the rca or a wiring problem.

usualyl amps got a red light for error, it could be fuses are blown on the amp itself which is easy to check and cheap to fix, u can check the fuses by looking at them to see if the wire inside broke

if the amp randomly stopped working, i would look into what kind of wiring u have going to ur amp because that probably blew the fuses. I doubt its ur RCA... even if something was wrong wit them u would get a little bit of someting, unless they got cut in half

Yeah, normally you'd have a red light and a green light (red for bad and green for good)... check the fuses on the amp, and then check the fuse on the power cable (you do have an inline fuse on the power cable, right ), then, if still nothing, you may have blown a fuse somewhere else, so check all the fuses in the fusebox (when I had a sub in my '94 Corolla, I had a wiring issue and I was blowing the fuse that controlled the dome light for some reason alot)...

ok well I checked all my wiring and even redid it twice and no luck. The amp is totally fried cause I'll have it hooked up and there is no red or green light turning on so ya its dead.

Did you check to see if there is actually power getting to it and if your remote lead (to turn on the amp) actually works (voltage meter will tell you), in a buddies car, we went (over 2 days) about 4 hours trying to figure out where we messed up the wiring, it ended up being the remote lead that wasn't working (deck was dying...) and wasn't turning on the amp...

ya i agree wit teevee, check the voltages to everthing, make sure ur remote is good and make sure ur ground is good
