Firstly disconnect the negative on the car battery


1 wire the positive teriminal on the amp to the battery, better to have an inline fuse there somewhere.


2 wire the negative connection on the amp to part of the bodywork ensuring there is a good connection with the metal.


3 wire the remote wire from the amp to the remote wire coming out of the back of the stereo (usually its blue)


4 connect the preouts (red and white plug in cabels) to the amp and the back of the stereo.


Connect the battery up and amp should be working.


Its probly best not to connect all 3 speakers up as the settings will be all messed up, its prob best to use that amp for your sub and get a smaller 2 channel amp for the 6 x 9's but if you want to i'll still tell you how.


connect the 6 x 9's up by connecting the wires out of them to the output connactions out of the amp.


then simply connect the wires for the sub accross both of the remmaining terminals (bridge)


and done !!!!!!!!!!!!!
