Answer:
I wish people wouldn't answer this if they don't know (sigh). Not only does the power supply need to be 13.8 DC volts but also supply the right current for the job. Just for an example, a 150 watt RMS system requires a 13.8 volt DC 25 Ampere supply at a cost of $74-$100 just for the supply.

you have to splice the power wires into a 3 prong grounded wall plug. build the box that will hold the deck and speakers in it. speaker wire teh speakers to the deck and well thats it it is pretty simple to do. shouldnt take more then 1 hour to do including making the boxes and long as you have the tools to do it. i.e. screwdriver, jigsaw or skil saw, wire cutter, 3 prong wall plug, some wood screws and or nails, wood glue, and carpet if you are carpeting the box for a finished look.

i was lookin to do this, and what i was told is that you'd need a power converter to go from your wall outlet with 120volts AC to a 12volt DC current. then you'd hook up your amp to that. if you try to plug your amp into the wall you'll blow circuit after circuit and possibly damage the amp. have the remote wire going from the power wire. hook the amp up to the subs like normal. and if you have a stereo in the room, it might have rca terminals in the back(mine is a jvc stereo that's a few years old, so it's a good possibility that it might), in that case you just put the rca cables into the input of the amp. i havent been able to try it yet, and i dno how expensive converters of this type are either. hope that helps some tho

dont listen to esmth517, you will need a converter to change the power from 120v ac to 12 volt dc. if you want to fry your radio/amp plug it straight to the 120 volt ac. but dont say i didnt warn you not to do that.
