well I know alot of people will hate this idea, but if you don't have a wireing kit for the subs yet you can get them cheap at wal-mart. not high quality but if you run a basic system they will get the job done I think their 4gauge runs maybe 30bucks. it's a cheap effective way to start.
kit comes with: power wire, ground wire, distribution block or two, remote wire, inline fuse, RCA's-2 sets
-
yeah if ur ganna get power wire you will also need ground wire and unless you want to spend quite a bit you might as well get a kit a wal-mart cause it will have everything you need.

i updated the pictures, now they actually work

give me 40 bucks and ill have it wired up for you tomorrow.\another 40 and ill rerun all your speaker wire, since youll need to do that anyways. Torbs, u can buy it brand new at walmart for 15. nice try on the rip offI wouldnt pay someone to do something i can do myself at a slightly slower pace, especially when i can learn from it. Plus my dads an electrician so if it comes down to it ill just wait til he gets home and have him help. Thanks for the offer though.

...good luck... not doubting you but...well talk to me after you spend 10 hours and still don't have it done.Its not that hard. The subs are already wired up to the amp and such so alls i have to do is ground the amp, string wire from battery to the amp, take out the old head unit, put the harness on, crimp the connections, get the RCAs hooked up power, done. (probably forgot something but i wont tomorrow)
-
haha alright well im gunna go get the walmart stuff 3rd period tomorrow and the best buy stuff after school then start doing it in my driveway so you know where i live if you wanna swing by or whatever.

I'm actually going to give walmart the thumbs up for the wiring kit. As long as it is the AWG that you need, it'll be fine. And yes, its not that hard to wire it all up, just a piece of advice though: USE SOLDER. Seriously, your connections are only as good as your weakest link, no sense trusting a piece of tin squished over your wires to make a solid connection.
-
Think of it not as much of a wiring job, but more of an interior disassembly/reassembly job.

very true stormwalker

you will also need a remote turn on wire...
its simple to wire a amp kit in...
i'll do it for free if you need someone to do it....only takes me about 30 minutes for everything...depending on the car
i think those were my old subs actually....i sold them to a guy for 40 bucks a couple of months ago.....they are actually damn good for how old they are.
-
if the battery is sidepost you will probably need one^^
-
shouldnt need one for a stang.

side in my hand, those 2 connect to (in 2422) the one on the right that is grey and red and the black/metal plug on the left, the one that DOESNT have the T on it, NOTHING else fits.
