Default Amplifier install pictures

I wanna see some pics of amplifier wiring, I wanna see where and how people are doing their install. I am going to be installing my system soon so I want to be prepared before the install. ALSO I wanna see if people are connecting the power wire throught the battery or the remote poss. battery terminal.

Thanks.

on my truck for the power cable I just have it on the remote thingy, it was easier and I'm lazy. And IMO, if you cut a little slit in that big rubber gromet on the driver side, its where the wire harness goes in, you can slid your power cable down in through that and it will end up good enough so that you can run it down the driver side door sills. The RCAs I ran down the passenger side, I popped off all the door sill trim **** and there is plenty of space to put them there. Right now my amps are just laying under my seat in a rats nest, I'd fix it but I'm gonna sell my truck so theres no point.

Hey guys a newbi at installing Amps and stuff...But is that a piece of Plywood that you have all your amps and stuff mounted to? What holding the Plywood up to the back of the Cab? Did you screw right into the back of the cab? Wouldnt you go right thru to the other side? help Thanx Alot Rob

I only ever use MDF in any of my installs for resonance reasons. My tiny lil amp rack is just 1/2" MDF and I did just drill it right to the back wall of the truck using drywall screws.

Please don't cut anything go straight to the Battery go to any respectful sound shop and get a GM batt. tap they will know what you are talking about.

Yes, use MDF on the back wall but don't screw it use liquid nails and you don't have to go cravy with it just a little bit all you need is holes in the back side of your cab.

I never thought to take pictures of my system until this forum, but if need be I will take some to get you in the right direction or just PM me.
