Have you done a search mate? you will find a lot of info to get you started.

yeh i did a search but a majority of it was custom install etc but i was mainly after ideas that ppl had done in thier utes, ive ended up screwing the amp to the parcel shelf behind the passenger seat ive run the 12v throught the firewall underneath the acc/brake pedels and down the centre console. everything is hooked up but i am gettin no power to the amp but power and sound signal in the headdeck. is the remote wire a problem i have that connected to the yellow 12v cable from the wiring harness from the car ( i can supply some pics) im still searching for an answer but if anyone knows off the top of the head would be great!

No, the remote wire should be a blue? wire from your headunit. If you could supply us with some more information like what model headunit you have, then we will be able to help you more efficiently.
