| going to solder your connections) |
Amplifier Installation Kit:
You will need an amplifier installation kit to install your amp properly because it contains all the wire and connectors that you will need to hook up your new amp right the first time. If you want to purchase these items separately you will need the following:
•
•30 amp fuse or circuit breaker (to be hooked up at the battery)
•20 feet of 18 gauge wire for the remote
•RCA cable (for signal input from radio)
–20 feet for trunk installation
–12 feet for
•Two 8 gauge ring terminals (one for the battery connection and the other for the ground connec- tion at the amp). You may need two additional ring terminals if you are using a circuit breaker at the battery.
•Two 8 gauge barrel connectors (you may need these depending on what type of fuse holder you have)
•Two 8 gauge spade terminals (to hook up power at the amp)
•Four 12 gauge spade terminals for subwoofers or
•One 18 gauge spade terminal for remote

Professional Tip
Bigger is better
Stereo installation dealers sell extra thick power and speaker wires to ensure best sound. Look for 8 gauge power wire, espe- cially if you have several amplifiers.
