So first run you power wire from you battery to your amp, Be sure to connect the fuse. Then conect it to your amp, look for some metal surface and ground your wire then connect it to the amp. Run the remote from your stereo the the amp along with the RCA.. I think thats it..
so i have a stock stereo (for now) and im finding out that i need a line output converter bc i dont have rca hook ups. so i got the converter and now not exactly sure there to hook everything up at. any suggestions?

It is prob going to be easier to hit behind the dash....the only thing is you are tapping into factory wiring which I don't like.

I know the back of the seat hooks on to the back wall and I do think it should work. Thanks I'll be waiting on some pics. I was actually just gonna use some washers to raise the seat about 3/4" but I still haven't tried it.

I got the qlogic box, that is a very tight fit under the back seat! I had to slam it down to fit it in. Now running cabling so hoping by this weekend it will be bumping.
