If you wana come all the way out to ventura county, I'll help ya for free too.

I've got a lotta experience with the tuning amps part of the deal, which is the most important part of doing a proper install.

Do you already have RCA cables running from your deck to the trunk?

If not,

Do you already have an aftermarket deck with RCA outputs?

i have both, i was told that the previous owner of the car already had a system, so the wires are tucked under the rear seat...they are red

Oh, and that part's easy. Probably the hardest part about doing all of this is getting everything mounted to look nice.

The RCAs can be a pain in the ass since the room behind the deck is very limited in these cars, but with some proper wire routing it gets done. Once the deck is pushed all the way back, hiding the RCA cable is easy.

But you may wana start thinking about where you want to put the amp and your box so you dont have wires running all over the place, and so the amp gets proper cooling.

Whether I do it or not...

Oh OK, then just start thinking about where you want to put all the stuff.

And are you sure you have the right wiring? Proper size fuse for the amp you are going to run is the most important part.
