Answer:
Also... If your total system power is a 1000 watts RMS or more you will need to: 1. Upgrade the alternator to a high output alternator 2. Upgrade to a heavy duty deep cycle battery 3. Upgrade the "Big 3" - that is to replace the power wire between the battery and alternator, the ground from the battery to the chassis and the ground strap from the engine/tranny to the chassis with at least 1/0 AWG wire. Failure to do this will result in you replacing them anyway as the alternator will eventually fail. Here is a guide that will calculate what size alternator and power wires you need as well how to set the gain http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php?file=6d26c621 You'll need Microsft Excel to use it.

hopefully you already have an aftermarket radio and that it has atleast 1 set of rca's. you will need a multi amp wiring kit like this one http://www.millionbuy.com/ahfkit9.html you might not want 1 of those amps hooked up to your other speakers its probably to much power for the door,dash,or deck speakers.get a 4 channel amp that is 50 watts rms but doing so you will probably have to change the factory speakers. if your radio doesnt have 3 sets of rca's you can get either a electronic crossover or an equalizer it will make your system sound a lot better and give you the extra rca's that you will need here are a few examples of different kinds http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductList.aspx?CategoryID=13 http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductList.aspx?CategoryID=14

First of all!!!! Do you really want 3 subs to power the front speakers??? As the link says the amp has 320w rms per channel so you would be sending that huge power to just front speakers that usually are within 50-100 w rms??? Check the rated power of your speakers and subs and then match the rms power per channel of the amp to the rated power of speakers. If you supply them with more power that they can handle you will blow them. Also what you need is a 4 ch amplifier to run the speaker and a 2 or 1 ch amp to power the subs. Wire the system like this: http://crutchfield.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/crutchfield.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=2678&p_sid=j6DZ9ayi&p_lva=2677&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9NTImcF9wcm9kcz00NjksNDcwLDQ4MiZwX2NhdHM9JnBfcHY9My40ODImcF9jdj0mcF9wYWdlPTEmcF9zZWFyY2hfdGV4dD1hbXBsaWZpZXJz&p_li=#

monster cables for your rca wire from radio and to amp....probably between 8 gauge to 4 gauge wire from amp (+) to battery or a secondary battery in the trunk...also add an isolator up front, so the system is charged from your altenator and also charges the back battery that you are hooked too....this passage allows only one power to go out but never touches the starting battery...this hooked up near the last,also need a small wire to go from back of radio to amp as the turn-on wire, from the amp to the spks...you have your monster cables...those are the first thing you hook up, with no power yet...any other things needed drop a line

you need a car adaptor, two silver starter wires, and a cd cord kit..

Add the fuses from all 3 amps together to find the max amperage draw from them and then find out how long of power wire you'll need. Now use this to find out what size wire you'll need: http://www.the12volt.com/info/recwirsz.asp You'll need that size wire going to a distrobution block that'll split it into 3 4g wires for the amps. One RCA output from stereo (or use an LOC on factory radio) will work, just use the RCA outputs from the first amp to the second one, then the second one's RCA outputs to the 3rd one. You'll need to do the Big3 Upgrade to ensure the amps get the power they need to perform at full. http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~73496~PN~1 Good Luck!
