NEED HELP INSTALLING SUBS n AMP
So I went out and bought two tens and an amp...and me and a friend already ran the wire from the battery into the trunk...the only thing i need to do now that i have power is connect the subs to the amp and the ground, can someone please help me coz my friend is all over the place and i cant find him and i have no more patience for waiting for him!
so is there a web site or ne thing?
I am using my stock deck, so we bought an adapter that converts the rear speaker wires into the rca wires that i need....
HELP PLEASE!

Your amplifier's manual should show you where to hook up the power, ground, turn-on lead, RCA cables, and the speaker wires. If you bought it used, you'll have to get it off the amp itself (maybe) or find the info online at that mfger's website.
Here's a "How to wire an amp" article at Crutchfield. It should give you most of the info you need.
A few tips:
Mount the amp somewhere. Don't let it flop around in the trunk. Possibly on the sub box if it's tied down. Don't put it under the seat unless it has plenty of room to cool off and doesn't interfere with the seal rails.
Keep the ground wire as short as possible.
Keep the speaker wires short also.
Experiment with how the box is aimed for best response.
That's all I can think of at the moment.
