So before i got the car the owner had a sub all connected and because i had my own before this i told him to remove it and take $100 off but i didn't realize that it had different connections and I'm just so lost on how to connect my one and if i need to get adapters for it ect.

FIRST THING IS FIRST: I AM ONLY GUESSING AT WHAT CABLE IS WHAT. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY INCORRECT WIRING.

Now onto what advice I can give you. For the lugs on the end of the cables, you can just chop them off and put whatever you need on the end. 99% of the time, you don't need any terminals crimped on.

As for the wires, I would safely bet on
Fat Red = Postive
Fat White = Negative
Plugs = RCA signals
Skinny wire = Remote turn on for your amp

What you connect from here on out is up to you! Good luck :)

Subs are a pain in the A*&SE! Cost me $220 to have mine wired up that s with the sub supplied and all its wiring but I also needed some av cable for my alpine HU so that cost a bit more. Should be about 2 hours labor cost not including any cables or high pass filters you may need.
