ehy kids, eventually, i'ma get some crystal sscs6 comps, waitin on my diamond 400.4 now and then i'm lookin for some 8's or an ultra loud 10 or 12 and a small mono amp. what wires do i need to connect the HU to the amps. if it helps, i drive a 1995 nissan maxima and it's a sedan. do i need any connectors or fuseholders or whatever??

are you using the stock headunit? are you also talking about power wire? what you need from the headunit is a remote wire and rca's. if you are running a stock headunit, you'll probably want a line out converter. what that does is convert your speaker leads into rca outputs. you can use the high level inputs if your amp has that. for a remote you'll probably want to tap into the accessory wire, but you'll have to figure out which one it is

you need a whole amp kit then. you'll need power wire from battery to amp with inline fuse at battery, ground wire, remote wire and rca's. there maybe a tutorial on this site about hooking up an amp. haven't checked them yet.

i wish people could make a super easy video on how to install amps, build and design boxes and install comps in doors.
