What kind of wiring do you need for an amplifier in a car?
Car amplifiers don’t come with any wiring included. You must supply the amp’s power and ground wiring, an inline fuse, a remote turn-on wire, RCA cables, and speaker wires. The power and ground wires need to be thick enough to accommodate the amp’s demand for electrical current or the amp won’t operate properly or put out its rated power.

How do you hook up an amplifier to a radio?
There are two ways to do this: get a line output converter (LOC) that’ll adjust the speaker-level signal for your amp’s input, or get an amplifier with speaker-level inputs. You cut the factory speaker wires behind the radio, and connect the wires coming from the radio to your LOC or amp’s inputs.
Can a starter relay be connected to an amplifier?
John, Your vehicle’s starter relay should not get connected to your amp’s power cable. If it fits, a 1/0-gauge power wire with a 200A fuse will work with that amp, although its specs call for 4-gauge wire with a 60A fuse. I’ve got a full size van and I’m upgrading the sound system.
