hiya, i am looking in to buying a sound sytem for my car and i am not sure how i go about buying the correct wires and how to earth it and conect it to the head unit, i am a real newb.
anyone know of any sites where they show you how to do it your self step by step?

Toxic Amp (http://www.bassjunkies.com/index.php?cpage=product/browse_detail.php&area=shop&category_id=88&sub_category_id=51&manufacturer_id=847&product_id=31286&show_my_car=&return_link=%2Findex.php%3Fcpage%3Dproduct%2Fbrows e_manufacturer_category.php%26area%3Dshop%26catego ry_id%3D88%26manufacturer_id%3D847&source=mancategory) thats the amp im looking to buy.
Toxic Sub (http://www.bassjunkies.com/index.php?cpage=product/browse_detail.php&area=shop&category_id=91&sub_category_id=58&manufacturer_id=847&product_id=31219&show_my_car=&return_link=%2Findex.php%3Fcpage%3Dproduct%2Fbrows e_brand.php%26area%3Dshop%26category_id%3D91%26sub _category_id%3D58%26manufacturer_id%3D847&source=brand) and this is the sub.
But also they say u might also want to buy this :
Power Cap (http://www.bassjunkies.com/index.php?cpage=product/browse_detail.php&area=shop&category_id=98&sub_category_id=38&manufacturer_id=847&product_id=30955&show_my_car=&return_link=%2Findex.php%3Fcpage%3Dproduct%2Fbrows e_manufacturer_category.php%26area%3Dshop%26catego ry_id%3D98%26manufacturer_id%3D847&source=mancategory) now i am not sure what it does but in the descripsion it says "This all-in-one 1 farad power cap offers everything needed to professionally wire a two amplifier sound system (up to 1400 watts) from the battery all the way through to the speakers!" the amp i was looking at was 1500 Watts does this mean i would need to look around for a better power cap? i have no idea smileys/sad.gif. any help would be super thanks.

power caps dont work dont waste your money.

Buy an amp wiring kit it should come with all the wires you need.

Power lead: battery to amp
Negative lead: amp to car chassis, seat belt bolts work well
Remote lead: headunit to amp, turns the amp on
Phono leads: headunit to amp, carrys the low voltage signal to the amp.
Speaker wire: connect speakers to amp

dont buy any max power manual ever they are shite-arama

no idea on the toxic stuff mate i imagine it will be ok for the money.


That amp kit should be fine.

Yes on the max power output, dont read max power though read RMS figures chances are it wont hit that max ever
