Hey, I'm completely new to car audio and am installing an amp for the first time. My question to you guys (geniuses!), is about hooking the amp up from an existing speaker input. The reason I'm doing this is because I'm using a stock head unit (didnt want to downgrade from a 6 cd in dash changer), and I want to start off by only having the amp power the sub and not the rest of the speakers. My amp has high level inputs which I believe is what I want the wire from the speaker to be connected to. Do I only need to tap into one existing speaker input, and is this method of wiring up my amp acceptable? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you
I also meant to ask about turning on and off the amp. Do I still need to wire from the head units turn on lead in order for the amp to power on and off with the radio? Is there an easier/better way to do this? Thanks again for your help
The wires from the high level input go to the rear right and left speaker wires. You can skin the wires and twist the high level input wires around the skinned speaker wires. Then tape it good. Most amps when you use the high level input it turns the amp on and off with the head. Only speaker or subs hooked to the amp will work. So the other speaker in your car will be power from the head unit.
