If you dont even know where to start I suggest having someone more knowledgable install it for you. Electronics are not trial and error type installs.

x2 There is a good chance of you smoke checking an amp or some speakers if they are hooked up wrong. Once its done....its done. The system you are talking about is way advanced for a beginner to hook up. Just pay to have some one install it or have a friend that has experience help you install it.

We don't mean to seem like we are blowing you off but things can get really expensive and possibly dangerous if they aren't hooked up right. I have seen people almost burn their cars to the ground because they would skip a simple step.

X 3

I HAVE seen people burn their cars to the ground because they weren't 100% sure. fuse too close to the amp, no no fuse. It can get ugly in a hurry. I've been to 2 car fires recently that were because of that.

What are the size specs on the bax and amps? Are you sure all that will even fit in your truck?

You can get just about anything to fit into any car. It just takes time and money.

yeah regular cab truck....without removing the center console (assuming you don't have a bench) you aren't gonna have enough air space to push all 4 subs....not without getting into the blow-thru concept...x1000 take it to a pro...you might even wanna be interested in selling some of it

4 10"s in a single cab ?? are u serious ??? what you trying to do ?? give the whole block a concert ??? anyways like mentioned above, you dont have enough airspace for all 4. maybe 3 but thats pushing it.... it can be done, but it will not sound that good, subwoofer needs its airspace to get low low low.
