You need to run rca leads from your cd player to amp direct power from battery to B+ Earth wire from your chasis to Negative on amp and remote wire from headunit to amp remote and i think you can wire the sub to the amp easy enough

thanks for the reply, ive heard about bridging the amp, do i have to do this or? channel one is buggered the rca port is broken so can i run it of channel 3 and 4? And will it work with my cd player?

Yeah you can bridge both channel 3 and 4 together to run the sub for more power and if you wire the amp correctly their is no reason for the amp not to work unless its stuffed

so instead of using 1 and 2 with the rca leads i just 3 and 4? ---------- Post added 11-04-10 at 20:33 ---------- direct power from battery to B+, what is b+ mate?

hey here is a pic the rca's are a bit dirty they were sitting on the floor mat, the contacts are clean though, it goes power, ground, remote, acc 12+. (http://img709.imageshack.us/i/dsc00491j.jpg/) On teh head unit it says sytem remote control, do i hook that up to the amp where it says remote? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

wow it is an old amp lol the red wire off the "power" goes directly to battery remote goes to remote on the back of your head unit for memory it is blue with a white line

done all that and no noise Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
