Thank you very much, I worked really hard on this video. my friend Michael Leonard did the camera work and I wrote the script And did the install. Glad you liked it.
Quick question! In my aftermarket stereo I have 5 different Rca cables different color, green, black, red, gray in which color should I connect my rca to amplifier?
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video. I'll be taught this at work, but I like to have an idea of how it works so I can get it down fast. This video was so easy to follow I might not even need to be taught lol.
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST VIDEO ON RUclips ON HOW TO CONNECT AN AMP TO A CAR. I REALLY LIKE HOW U GUYS KEPT IT SIMPLE AND VERY INFORMATIVE AT THE SAME TIME WITHOUT MAKING IT CONFUSING. THE EDITING MADE IT NICE AND NEAT WITHOUT CARRYING THE CAMERA EVERYWHERE LIKE SOME OTHER VIDEOS PEOPLE MAKE!! GREAT JOB

EXCELLENT video here. THANK YOU, this is my first time installing a system and this will help me immensely! I'm going to hook up a little alpine type R with a alpine v-power amp to start with. Thanks again
The BEST amp install tutorial I have seen!!!! Hi again guys. I am the one who sent you the email with questions about the complete audio re & re for the 2003 Jetta Wolfsburg. Look forward to your feedback. I forgot to ask also whats the best size of split flex loom to use for my install. Cheers.
Thanks for the positive feedback I hope the install went well, sorry for the late response RUclips comments are very buggy and it won't let me reply most of the time, us really weird
Dude was dripping sweat onto the amp. lol. Awesome video though! I am going to be installing my Sub/Amp when they get here in 2 days, I will be watching this video again, & doing it step by step. Thank you for uploading this video!! It's going to help me out a lot!
Bro ty..This is the best video I’ve seen...I was a bit lost as to where did I connect the blue cable to turn on the Amp. I recommend this for Noobs like me.
okay going to have to watch this about 19 more times before i can get it

Just watching this video makes me want to deliberately avoid such an obscene subject!! A project like this would only make sense for a full-blown restoration!!
BRILLIANT thanks so much i am able to do the full installation but never been good at setting the amps to work without as you say distortion ive run 4 speakers before with a 4 channel but never had that much success also running an aftermarket headset like a kenwood with 2x RCA outputs not needing a splitter ive never tackled using tweeters in the front pillars
hey man, thanks to your awesome video I was able to take my time and install my sub/amp combo into my car yesterday; everything you said was right on point, thanks!!!
Another one who takes shortcuts with crimping wires that work their way loose quality work is done with soldering and there are enough male female adaptor plugs out there to do the job once do it right also without butchering the loom but i give you 10/10 for your tutorial clear and precise explanation i learnt a few things
Thank u so much i think they should take all others video of and leave urs because ive been watching alot video never got it but ur video i only watch twice then instal my like a professional thank u wo much now i can make money by installing 😛😭
This video has helped me understand all of this a lot better. I'm going to need to use a Line Output Converter with my car to use a sub woofer, but I'm unsure on how to hook that part up correctly. Would I need to figure which wires hooked into the factory stereo are my rear speakers so I can tap into their response, or do you have another suggestion?
That's exactly what you need to do. The rear speakers are usally the best to tap into. If you are installing a subwoofer it makes it a little bit easier cause you can sum the line out converter positives together and the negatives together and only tap into 1 rear speaker. I have a video on how to add a subwoofer to a factory stereo but it's for a camry I think but you should be able to watch it and get a better understanding of adding a line out converter

Very well narrated/instructed and in lowest possible time as well. I'm sure you have a great customer base where ever you are. Just if you could make another video on how to connect just internal speakers ? So the speakers have two wires, both come off and new one connected with amp is connected to speaker too ? I'm trying to reach good sound using just good brand 6x9 and 4 5" speakers, but all connected to an amp. Thanks :)
you forgot to mention that when you drill through the body panel into the firewall, you then paint the exposed metal to stop rust, then add an o ring with the correct gauge hole that you can feed your wire through
Great video! Best straight forward video. Best video I've ever seen that doesn't use pretentious eliminations and is very easy to follow. Excellent work guys im subbing!
ConnectedCarAudio, It looks like you're working on an 09 corolla? By any chance, do you have a video of the entire install? I'm struggling on two things: 1) where to drill or feed the amp cable wire through the firewall 2) wiring diagram for the rear speakers to add in an output line converter. Warm regards
you said rund the power supply and the remote or on off switch to the driver side and the audio in to the amp will be on the opposite side or the passenger side to avoid noise into the system, BUT at the end of those wires you put them close together behind the seat close to the amp, my point is if you put them or wired them on one side of the vehicle saves time.
HELP? I don't have the blue and white wire?. I just have black red yellow and blue. But the blue doesn't have white? I got no sound on my aftermarket radio I got for my Chevy.
There are much better options to mounting the amp like that. There is no need to cut up the rear carpet that much as that will affect the resell factor. 1.) Pull rear carpet off the back of seat which exposes usually a metal plate 2.) Cut a 1/2 , 5/8 , 3/4 inch board to the size of your amp with at least an extra inch or two around the sides. 3.) Find a good place to screw the rough board into the metal back plate. Slightly countersink screws if you want less worry of metal on metal contact. Simply drill the small screw holes and then use a slightly larger bit to open up the hole only on the surface to allow for the head of the screw to sink into the wood. 4.) Put the carpet back over the board and securing it back to the seat using whatever factory clips / edging was used. Should have a very clean looking rear seat with very minimal bulging from the wood installed behind / under the carpet. 5.) OPTIONAL but worth it. Find something to use as a spacer about 1/2" - 1". I used extra hardware from TV mounting kits which allows me to have the amp slightly raised away from the carpet. Mainly to be able to have a near cable free installation plus it does allow some air flow which was a bonus. 6.) With the amp mounted over the carpet and into the hidden wood board using spacers to allow a gap under the amp. Now route all the cables directly under the amp and secure them with some sort of wire management. Just attach the cables to amp and route them directly underneath the amp. You might have to remove the amp once to add securement of the cables to the board and then put the amp back and make final connections. My amp is mounted low enough on the rear Camry seat that when I look from the rear of the trunk and the seat is in the normal upright position that all the cables that are routed under the amp and then down out the middle are covered by the trunk carpet. If your amp is higher on the seat then you could cut a slit UNDER the amp carpet so all the cables are under the amp and then routed under the carpet under the amp out the bottom towards the trunk floor. Only holes I put were the 6-8 small screw holes in the carpet. VERY Clean looking with all the cables routed directly under the amp. Almost looks like no cables are installed as it is just a amp. Make sure you secure your power wires under the amp so the wrapped around method under the amp won't put stress on the connections and work their way loose later.
nice video and well explained. i have a quick question. i recently bought an amp wiring kit for my 1100W 4chl amp. but it did not contain all the terminals i needed. what size terminal would be best to connect a 4gauge wire to the amp and the ones that came with the kit (for the ground and the battery) are way too big to connect to the amp. Thanks
Do not use a self tapping screw to connect your ground. Use a bolt, a nut and a lock washer. Otherwise your ground will work its way loose and your amp will stop working.

Just watching this video makes me want to deliberately avoid such an obscene subject!! A project like this would only make sense for a full-blown restoration!!
I always thought that the power wire was supposed to be by itself. I didn't know that you could run the power and remote wire together. I have one question. How do i go about running aftermarket speaker wires for my car doors? I have an aftermarket amp for the door speakers. Do i have to route the speaker wires under the rug? Or do i have to remove the panel and routed it through the headliner of the vehicle to avoid it being near the power and signal cables?
If anyone sees this... BUY "9 CONDUCTOR WIRE". Seriously it will save you ripping up your car and fucking up all the trim. Its one fat wire with 8 speaker wires and 1 turn on wire inside. Run it behind your radio WITH the rca and connect it to your aftermaker speaker adapter which is an oem plug---->8 speakers wires +12v,12v switched, ground. Then run the wire to your 4 channel amp and you have all the speaker wires right there, NO NEED TO RUN NEW WIRE!
+Tim Osness okay so the amp is okay to be bridged but that's at a final ohm of 2 ohms but since you wire the subs together then bridging at the amp you end up with a 1 ohm load which that Amp can't handle correctly. I would take one of those subs and put it on a ported box and bridge it down at the amp for a final 2 ohm load. Or get a Mono block Amp a mono block Amp is a one channel Amp and what ever you wire your subs for that what the amp will see. So wire your subs in parallel for a 2 ohm load and put it on the mono block Amp
Usually I will insert a peice of mdf a little bit larger than the amp under the carpet . then I will screw the amp to the wood .if the board moves around I will usually shoot a short screw through the mdf into the metal of the seat
Hi sketch you said the ones were to big to fit into the amp? Can you shave them down? Cut them on the ends? Or bend then in so they fit into the amp connections? You can also go bare wire in line I did with the connections in this video.. And I think you said you had a hard time putting the power wire on the main battery?
I just want you to know that this video is very helpful it is exactly what i was looking for..Hey man i need to know how to wire two amps in a system do you think you somehow do that thanks man awesome video
In car audio the ground is almost always connected to the chassis. Only time it is ran to the battery is on some vehicles like corvette where the body is mainly fiberglass or boats where it's the same concept.
Great video. But I don't lie to run any wires along with the power. Normally when I do an install I run the power by itself and all the others wires on the opposite side from the power so you don't risk melting a wire and causing a fire.
Thanks for this video buddy i am building up a nice sound sysem for my girlfriend right now as a massive thank you for looking after me through ill health from the UK.
Awesome video, I'm currently installing a sundown audio 8" sub for a Hhifonics amp and I believe my problem atm is I wired the amp turn on wire to the wrong wire behind the stereo. I'm new to this so I did some studying but obviously not enough cause my shit isn't working. I bough a amp wire install kit, and The RCA are the normal red/white, but the Amp turn on wire is black, so I put it with the black wires behind the stereo. My amp doesn't power on, go figure. So I'm going to rewire that black amp turn on wire to the blue with white strip wire behind the stereo. An hopefully my shit turns on. PS: I'm also installing this in a Toyota Corolla 2010.
I have a system installed in my car, but unfortunately I left my headlights on and now my amp doesn't sound the same. Any reason why this happen and how can I fix this problem? Thanks! Great video by the way!
Make sure that your battery is still able to hold a charge and a good voltage. Once a battery good dead it never really is the same afterwords unless it's a deep cycle battery. Check the voltage of your battery when the car is running it should be about 14.4 volts and 12.4 volts when the car is off. Maybe have auto zone check your battery for you or use a meter and test it
Question on your amp settings. What if you are connecting 4 door speakers and 2 subwoofers to your amp? How does it work then if you want bass on just the subwoofers but high frequencies on the vocal door speakers? Could you use a bass volume knob and then not have to worry about the settings on the amp for the low pass and high pass?
my mechanics didnt use fuse holder, they just bent the wire with battery part. do u think there is a chance of spark or is it dangerous ? i used pioneer champion series 1200 watt and pioneer 8150d amp 1000 watt.
yes its dangerous because if you have a short in the wire any where down the line all the way to the amplifier it will run up and the line and short out your battery ,this will cause you to buy a new battery and possibly a new alternator.get this fixed as soon as possible. dont wait
so i have an after market head unit and After market front and rear speakers. I had to splice the blue wire from the head unit to the after market wiring harness blue white cable because the directions said. i may have the colors mixed up but i no i Already spliced the remote blue white cable to another cable that is inserted into the head unit. Am I supposed to undo that?And connect the power on amp cable to the head unit? or do i splice all three together? sorry if it's confusing.
any reason I cant run all 4 speaker wires from the amp to the speaker harness and connect all at one spot rather that spend gobs of time having to run wire to every speaker?
so, to be clear, for amplifying door speakers, I run the speaker wire from the amp straight to the speakers right? so I won't be using the existing wires from my head unit to the existing speakers, correct?
Finally a video that shows you where to ground and even mentions how to avoid engine noise.thank you!!
I've been looking all over youtube to find the right installation tutorial and I think I found it! Great explanation and demonstration. Thank you!
Thank you very much, I worked really hard on this video. my friend Michael Leonard did the camera work and I wrote the script And did the install. Glad you liked it.
connectedcaraudio great job, I wish I had found this video before my install
awesome filming/narration job, really helped me a lot!
Quick question! In my aftermarket stereo I have 5 different Rca cables different color, green, black, red, gray in which color should I connect my rca to amplifier?
green ones sound better
amazing video! helped alot

Perfect vid since im installing mtx into prius.
Definitely the best vid I’ve seen on this.
nice video and well explained. i have a quick question. i recently bought an amp wiring kit for my 1100W 4chl amp. but it did not contain all the terminals i needed. what size terminal would be best to connect a 4gauge wire to the amp and the ones that came with the kit (for the ground and the battery) are way too big to connect to the amp. Thanks
Do not use a self tapping screw to connect your ground. Use a bolt, a nut and a lock washer. Otherwise your ground will work its way loose and your amp will stop working.
Just watching this video makes me want to deliberately avoid such an obscene subject!! A project like this would only make sense for a full-blown restoration!!
Thanks for this video, I think I'll pay for a professional install. Not hard, just looks like a pain if you haven't done it before.
Where do you plug in the remote cable?
Great vid my man. just what i was looking for.
the ends of the wires that are clamped in the clamps processed by the solder, usually spend too minus from the battery.
6:04 drippin sweat lol
Jeff Simeone thats was hard working ,should raise wage right? ..😎
its hard work installing an amp
Or tears.....Blood, sweat and tears baby
facts lol
this was a very very very helpful video
Thanks a lot man successfully installed my amplifier
my negative cable isn't too short. Can I cut a length of the positive wire for a ground?

the amp is a Pioneer GM A5602 Class AB 2‑Channel. and the subs say 4ohm. they were prewired to 2ohm
+Tim Osness okay so the amp is okay to be bridged but that's at a final ohm of 2 ohms but since you wire the subs together then bridging at the amp you end up with a 1 ohm load which that Amp can't handle correctly.

Regards from Serbia.
how to find out which wire should be connected RCA and amps turn on blue wire in the stereo?
How did you mount the amp to the back of the seat? Did you just use specific screws? I have a corolla like the one in your video so I'm just curious
Usually I will insert a peice of mdf a little bit larger than the amp under the carpet . then I will screw the amp to the wood .if the board moves around I will usually shoot a short screw through the mdf into the metal of the seat
Hi sketch you said the ones were to big to fit into the amp? Can you shave them down? Cut them on the ends? Or bend then in so they fit into the amp connections? You can also go bare wire in line I did with the connections in this video.. And I think you said you had a hard time putting the power wire on the main battery?
I just want you to know that this video is very helpful it is exactly what i was looking for..Hey man i need to know how to wire two amps in a system do you think you somehow do that thanks man awesome video
thanks so much for the video so you would need a separate amp to power the door speakers and a different amp to power some subs?
RichGarcia Tv you can use one amp. but you'll need a 4 channel or greater amp. one for each speaker and 2 for the sub
Wich colour kabel you have to cut and connect with the speaker on the back
I got a 2014 Chevy equinox factory radio how do I wire up the low high low box
Excellent job 👏🏽 👍🏾
Thanks very good I now I can do it :)
This video is a life save
Very nice video guys , but i think the weather was very hot :-)
so if you have 8 speakers, you need to run 8 wires from the amp to each speaker?
Thank you so much for the information. I learn much from this video.
really nice video. but why do you connect the ground to the car chassis? isnt that dangerous? wouldnt a cable going back to the battery be safer?
In car audio the ground is almost always connected to the chassis. Only time it is ran to the battery is on some vehicles like corvette where the body is mainly fiberglass or boats where it's the same concept.
+connectedcaraudio thanks for the reply!! but even in high wattage systems? wouldnt that create eletroestatic energy?
i recently had my factory amp and speakers replaced in my 2003 Santa Fe and it doesn't even sound as good as before, any idea what it could be ?
Great video. But I don't lie to run any wires along with the power. Normally when I do an install I run the power by itself and all the others wires on the opposite side from the power so you don't risk melting a wire and causing a fire.
Thanks for this video buddy i am building up a nice sound sysem for my girlfriend right now as a massive thank you for looking after me through ill health from the UK.
Awesome video, I'm currently installing a sundown audio 8" sub for a Hhifonics amp and I believe my problem atm is I wired the amp turn on wire to the wrong wire behind the stereo. I'm new to this so I did some studying but obviously not enough cause my shit isn't working. I bough a amp wire install kit, and The RCA are the normal red/white, but the Amp turn on wire is black, so I put it with the black wires behind the stereo. My amp doesn't power on, go figure. So I'm going to rewire that black amp turn on wire to the blue with white strip wire behind the stereo. An hopefully my shit turns on. PS: I'm also installing this in a Toyota Corolla 2010.
Not sure if you got it figured out but usually the remote wire coming off the headunit says remote wire on it or amp power
Good video. Give me that good old record cd 😂
I have a system installed in my car, but unfortunately I left my headlights on and now my amp doesn't sound the same. Any reason why this happen and how can I fix this problem? Thanks! Great video by the way!
Make sure that your battery is still able to hold a charge and a good voltage. Once a battery good dead it never really is the same afterwords unless it's a deep cycle battery. Check the voltage of your battery when the car is running it should be about 14.4 volts and 12.4 volts when the car is off. Maybe have auto zone check your battery for you or use a meter and test it
Question on your amp settings. What if you are connecting 4 door speakers and 2 subwoofers to your amp? How does it work then if you want bass on just the subwoofers but high frequencies on the vocal door speakers? Could you use a bass volume knob and then not have to worry about the settings on the amp for the low pass and high pass?
I have a sub1 and a sub 2 in back of my radio, but I only want to run a 10 subwoofer, do I buy a y splitter and run it to sub1?
Hey so where is the w/r cable go to ? Where it says power antenna? Im stuck there ugh
my mechanics didnt use fuse holder, they just bent the wire with battery part. do u think there is a chance of spark or is it dangerous ? i used pioneer champion series 1200 watt and pioneer 8150d amp 1000 watt.
yes its dangerous because if you have a short in the wire any where down the line all the way to the amplifier it will run up and the line and short out your battery ,this will cause you to buy a new battery and possibly a new alternator.get this fixed as soon as possible. dont wait
oh i see.
“Attach it to the vehicle of the body”
lol missed that
so i have an after market head unit and After market front and rear speakers. I had to splice the blue wire from the head unit to the after market wiring harness blue white cable because the directions said. i may have the colors mixed up but i no i Already spliced the remote blue white cable to another cable that is inserted into the head unit. Am I supposed to undo that?And connect the power on amp cable to the head unit? or do i splice all three together? sorry if it's confusing.
Is to much of a fuse in the fuse holder by the battery post bad or good?
any reason I cant run all 4 speaker wires from the amp to the speaker harness and connect all at one spot rather that spend gobs of time having to run wire to every speaker?
so, to be clear, for amplifying door speakers, I run the speaker wire from the amp straight to the speakers right? so I won't be using the existing wires from my head unit to the existing speakers, correct?
spiralnapkin Correct.
