How do I hook up an amp?

How to hook up a amp to my 97 Larson 206 boat??

  • I want to hook up my subwoofer and amp to my boat but don't know how to really.. I've hooked up systems in cars before but never a boat. I also want to be able to switch the amp on/off through by acc switch.. Is it a good idea to hook a subwoofer up period?? Do I need 2 batteries or a bigger alternator?? I'll tell you what kind of amp and speakers I have its a kicker kx300.2 amp to a toby sheriff.. If anyone can help please do.. Tell me everything u know it would be highly appreciated..

  • Answer:

    a second battery is a good idea so your not stranded. Have to get a "GUEST" batter switch that lets you switch to battery 1 or 2 to listen to the stereo while your not running. This will allow you to have a good battery for starting if you accidentally run one down. And yes you should have a switch on the blue remote turn on to the amp so you have the option to turn it off with out turning the other speaker off. The rest of it is running the wiring like you do in a car just harder in a boat but it can be done.
