Hi every1. Ive just won 2 subs and an amp in big box on something called freecycle. Anwyay, i have a few questions for when i fit this in a couple of days.

Thew first is that it don't say about inclusing an earth wire in the package. So do I need one? If so where shud i attach it to? And what kind of wire do i need? Like would the ordinary plug wire cut of an old drill or radio do?

The second is which side of the car shud i use for the power and HU cable? Passenger for HU and driver for power?

I am a bit of a noob when it comes to this lol

for the love of god DO NOT use a piece of flex.

what size wire all depends on the power of the amp.

get to halfords or get on ebay and get some propa cable for the job.

and it doesnt matta what side you run the wires its just personal preference

and by won you mean you got for free as freecycle is free

so if i was you i wldnt expect much from them as they cnt be that good if he cant sell em lol

Well they're certainly gonna be better than nothing at all which ive got atm m8 - i bet they won't sound 2 bad lol. And what so u need proper cable just to earth the amp?

yea best had mate better to be safe then sorry and blow the lot for a sake of a couple of quid

Yeh fair enough u got a gd point there

i had no idea how to install amp n speakers before i had a look at this:

very helpful and the job was pretty easy. and BTW i would buy proper wiring for amps, u can get them in kits, the wiring is a lot thicker and insulated a lot better.

and with thicker, better quality wires the sound quality will be better too

if u aint already fitted it passenger side would probs be better as thats the side the battery is on , so you might save a metre or 2 of cable
