right from your amp you should have a power cable which does into the engine bay.

the phono lead 1 white tip 1 red tip. and a blue "Remote cable"

the red goes into the red "female" port and white into the white "female" port.

The blue remote cable has to be connected to the blue cable amonst the wires.
it should in theory work if its done correctly

basically, hes saying red lead into red hole and white lead into white hole, then its the remote lead needs to be attached to your blue lead basically, its simple though when you know how.
Im useless at explaining things

for a start please type in english its far easier to read and then help you.

If you look at the back of the cd player the phono (red and white) plugs should be obvious where they go the holes are colour coded just make sure they are out put rather than input.

The thin cable you have in the remote port on your amp needs to connect to the remote or power antenna aerial on the loom of your head unit.

if you have a radio that's equipped with a line out for your sub(white and red connectors on the back) you should plug in the white and red cables that you connect to your amp.
if you don't have white and red connectors on the back of your radio, you need to buy a new one that has.

the second wire that goes to your radio is your 'remote cable'.
it's a very thin wire that you need to connect to the blue/white remote cable of your radio.

my remote cable goes into a block thing ... but the block has nothing for it to plug into .. wt to i do with the remote lead??

and the red and white cable .. is that the 1 that goes from the boot to the cd player .. because mines red and blue ... and do i plu that into the amp or cd player .. i fink i may need more wires because the sub and amp dont have any wires linking them together ... but the amps drilled to the sub so it mite b connected somehow.... maybe i should just take it to someone who knows what they are doing lol

red and blue?

Not seen that before

[vts_nico]

basically, there's a set of wires(usually red and white) running from the back of your radio to your amp, and a set of wires running from your amp to your sub(standard speaker cables).

there's a ground wire, and a 12v feed to power the amp.

and the last cable is the thin remote cable that runs from the amp to the back of the radio.

if you could post some pics of what you already have in the car, it would be much easier for us to help you.

you have a Active amplifier. basically amp is wired onto the sub to give you more room.
if you take out your cd player (headunit) you will see a black block on the back of it. look for a blue cable coming out of that blue block. cut about 5 inches up that cable.
then take your remote cable and expose the copper inners then twist them together.

Remote cable attached to the cable which goes into the black block on the back of your cd player that is!

Red and blue. Red into red hole blue into white?
