Is the wiring ran like you would a regular amp?

Yes, has power, ground. Then either RCA for line level, or speaker level inputs. Auto senses for turn on.

Yes it's like wiring a regular amplifier. Has RCA and high level inputs. Only thing it lacks is a remote on wire. On another note it does not need to be directly wired to your battery like a normal amp would. Hope this has helped you.

It can be ran two different ways. The power is ran from the head unit itself. Ground to ground. You can then either run the speaker wires from the given harness to the left and right speakers or run an RCA cable from the head unit to the sub unit which allows for sub control from the head unit. Either way it is a super easy install. Even of you've never installed a sub you could figure it out as long as your comfortable tearing your dashboard apart. It's a good unit, not the best but if your looking for a quick inexpensive bass unit it gets the job done. I have a hatchback it sounds good not sure how it might sound in a trunk.

It's pretty easy. You have a power conductor, ground, then your choice of speaker wire input or RCA line input. Typically the blue wire from your head unit would be for turning on your amp but this is not needed since this unit turns itself on and off by sensing signal input. Jason L. is right about not running your power directly to your battery. The instructions don't say you have to, so I didn't, it works just fine. #10 gauge wire not needed.

If you have experience installing 12v car audio, this should give you no trouble. It has power, ground, and turn-on wire for activating the internal amp. Comes with plenty of speaker wire as well. Just keep in mind this is not a high powered sub so don't expect tons of thump. For small spaces, it will deepen and warm up the low frenquencies. If you want more bass, try a powered Bazooka 10" or the Blaupunkt powered 10". Mine was installed in a travel tralier and it works fine in that application.

I would not run that amp with anything smaller than 1/0 wire and at least 1 extra battery. That amp is very unstable at .5 ohms. I had one blow on me twice.

The Amp comes with all needed wiring. You don't need to buy additional wiring. Just watch the installation video found on Hogtunes website. I found the video very helpful .... Enjoy !

lol. ummm its electric so im guessing yes but the amps are so minor i doubt a significant increase will be seen.

No, the instructions have you wire it up in parallel with your main speakers. One thing to consider is that it cuts the Ohm load in half and will present a 4 ohm load to your amp. This isn't a problem with most well-made equipment. In my opinion, wiring it in this way is not a true sub as it does not cut out higher frequency.. I would like to redo the configuration next summer and add its own sub amp with some sort of cross-over to make it a true sub. As-is, its a nice addition to my outdoor speaker setup but don't expect it to act like a typical sub that you might have in your home theater.

Yes it's supposed to get hot. It's where the amp is housed. Not a problem. It was designed this way.
1060917
That's correct... I use it with no preamp whatsoever.. And it seems to be plenty hot enough with my amp...

You will want to check the amplifier settings to correct the issue you are having. The gauge of the wire is a non-factor.

Hello, thank you for your interest. I can't see how it would be a problem. As long as the pick up is functioning correctly, the amp should work well.

Probably, it has the same components as most other amps, line in and out and such

I have not experienced over heating of the amp. And from what I have read on this amp, it runs pretty cool.
909164
No absolutely not. Not even sure how you would do that. First off, This amp is not that good. No where near its rated power.

Same power handling when wired to 8 ohm. Impedance effects your amps power not subwoofer

No re wiring was nessisary . I install this on an 04 taho car toys tried to tell me they needed to re wire because of the amp but not true you can purchase a inline amp that by passes the stock unit it's close to a 100 bucks and it works great

if your not running any crazy wattage then no problem. this wire is plenty beefy. i have a yamaha 115/channel surround and i have no issues.

You should be okay with that. Just be sure not to overpower it or you will blow the sub. I've used underpowered amps on mine and they sound amazing!

There is a fuse built into the amp, however, you still need to put a fuse in the line to protect the powered wire.
