I am going to attempt to install this to my stock HU. Is this total plug n play?
I am going to use the RCA connectors to connect the amp and the pac. There is a blue and white remote turn on lead extra wire located at the end with the RCA connectors, Is this to add something extra? Also I bought a Fosgate install kit with the hot and ground wires. I think that those 2 are all I have to wire, right? Where would you place this amp and ground it at? It is pretty small. My RCA cables that I bought to connect the amp and PAC are 1.5 feet long. Thanks for any help you all can give me.

You will need to run power, ground, and remote turn on (RTO) leads. The blue and white wire is a RTO that tells your amp to turn on and off. It will need to be hooked up to the remote input on the amp or you will get no sound. I like to put my amps under the seats and ground to a seat bolt. You'll need a longer set of RCA cables. There is no place to mount an amp within 1.5 feet of where your PAC unit will be

OK, thanks. I was thinking that the blue and white wire in the pac that connects the HU,pac and amp took care of this as it is the remote turn on as well. It is in the 2 adjoining harnesses.

In the PAC you will have 2 red rca and 2 white rca and a blue/white turn on wire. That is the one you run back to the amp to turn it on. It does not connect to the factory HU at all.

M.Wenrich did a review on Amazon about half way down this page.http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-...R3D4P3ZCL11HAF
He basically tells how to splice into the PAC speaker wires going back out to the factory side, then connecting the remote lead,RCA's,hot and ground. Just what you guys have been telling me, just I see it clearer now. Thanks and this post might help another novice just trying to add a amp only to the factory HU. I am going to take Talleyman89's advice and talk to a local shop i know first. Thanks everyone for your help and messages.

You unplug the factory connector and plug the PAC into it. You will see once you get the dash apart. Then one pair of the RCA's and the blue/white turn on wire goes back to the amp

Thanks, thats what I have come to conclusion. And the speaker wires from the amp I plan on tapping into the PAC female harness that is plugged to the factory male end going back out to the trucks speakers. That way I retain my stock side factory wires. What do you guys think of these type connectors for tapping the speaker wires? http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/271343508121?lpid=82

Don't tap them without cutting them. That way you don't get power to your speakers from the HU and the amp.

Yeah, you'll need to cut and splice the PAC speaker outputs, not tap them.......

OK, that looks easy, but I definitely want a good connection. Thanks to both of you, I will definitely cut and splice. I will probably slide some heat shrink tubes over the connections for extra insulation. I am not going to do this until Sunday or Monday due to work. I have had recommendations to ground to one of the seats. This amp and PAC is small enough to put all behind the HU. Do you all know of a place to ground toward/under the dash area? I really haven't looked that part over good yet,but I know a good ground is very important. Thanks again to all of you. I like learning about new things, or at least new to me,lol
