Power wiring question

[7D2N]

SWB4X4,
Thanks for the help, powered up and all 4 speakers working. Do you know if an amp has to have its own power source from battery? what gauge of wire to power a 300wt amp? I'm trying to get the system working right (never did work good) stereo wiring was rough and I mean rough.

Thank you for you help.

No Problem....and yes you will need a seperate power wire and ground for the amp you should be fine with 10 gauge for a 300 watt amp or you could always use a heavier gauge for future upgrades.... the blue wire off the back of your deck will need to go to the amp as well for the remote turnon. goodluck post some pics when done!

SWB4X4, Thanks again for your response and I'm on my way now. Because I like pictures here is the starting point of reassembly, when Its back together I'll post a few more.

Thanks
