run the power from battery, through the fire wall behing glove box, push out the plug to fit cable through. make sure the fuse is as close to the battery as posible
wire under the side plastic scirts, then under the back seat to the amp. amp is earthed to the back bit of metal near the boot latch |

Hey guys sorry to have to bring this up again : and you can scrap what i
posted before lol the plan has changed :hihi: . I just bought a 12 inch pioneer 800w sub for the fez and now im on the hunt for an amp. The guy at the audio store said he will take some off the price of the amp(about 100) cos i bought the sub from him. I am tossing up between 3 possible amps, kenwood, fusion and boss. I had planned on the cheap $180 4 channel 1000w boss amp doing the job?? But for 350 (with discount) the kenwood and fusion come with a sub controller which will be handy as i have the standard headunit. Both are same size as the boss but better brands i suspected?? I would really appreciate some advice on which amp would be good, if the boss will do the job than thats great lol. Thanx for any advice guys :

I would recommend heading over to jaycar for amps. There new range is very good and well prcies. Unless you spend alot more money on and amp the jaycar will be the better one to buy.
I would get there top 4channel one, run the front splits amped and bridge the sub.
