headunit and power... most buy wiring kits which range in types and price. they include all the RCA leads and power cables to hook it up. then just run them all to where you mount it, usually in the boot.

signal fro mh/u to amp. gets amplified then goes tyo speakers.
positive power from batt to amp.
negative power is from the body of the car.

basically as everyone has just said...........run your cables off your battery.........i have 2 amps in my boot...........i have a stinger power distributer i run one power into it, then run 2 power off that into each amp, then a ground into each amp and a trigger into each amp...........all 6 speakers run into my 720 watter amp, and i run my sub off my monoblock.............oh yeah and u gotta run RCA's from your head unit to your amp / amps..........

dont take this the wrong way but hooking it all up is the easy part.

well i think that usually goes without saying. the wiring kits come with an earth cable but saying screw it to steel doesnt really help, or the dodgy part either. i know parts of my dash that are metallic and arent connected to the chassis/body. You need to find a clean/unpainted surface on the body for the earth. usually a good spot is the rear seat/seatbelt bolts will suffice.

good map but if you wire up the like you would with a battery, you hook the positive up first and connect the negative last
