Is It Hard To Instal An Amp And Sub And Wire

[8G5L0T]

Is it hard to instal an amp, sub and wire them? I am worried i am going to run into problems once i get everything. Is this a good amp kit that will have everything i need. Crutchfield has a video on how to install an amp and stuff right? Amp and subs.

that amp kit will be fine, along with every other decnet amp kit you can buy anywhere

now as for whether or not its hard, it depends if you are the following:

1. pretty good with your hands, meaning know how to use tools, basic common sense when working on a car

2. patient and wont go off and rage when you hit an obstacle or someting is not working right

3. can read and follow instructions well versus just going at it blindly trying to get it done

if you are all three, then you will find that volvos are one of the easier cars to do an amp and sub in. taking all the care and precautions, i can wire up an amp and sub in a volvo in about 20 mins if i went at everyhting full pace. but for a first timer, start early in the day a nice warm bright day, and literally give yourself the full day to work onit, dont rush and it will be fine

ther eis a tutorial pinned above in the topic above, check it and see.

make sure you PLAN everything before you start wiring and cutting

you'll run into a few snags if it's your first time

but in the end it's worth it

its pretty easy. The first time i did it, i forgot to take out the fuse and touched bare metal with power cable, burned fuse, but after that everything was easy

I thought it was quite easy my first time. The only HARD part was getting the power cable from the engine bay to the passenger compartment, other than that it was quite easy (and do not hook up the battery until all the wiring is in and everything is attached). The only bad thing about my install, is that there is a wiring mess in my trunk now, but that soon is going to be cleaned up . Secondly I didn't buy a amp kit and bought everything individually (hand-picked of course), but was quite mad when I found a amp kit that had virtually everything I had, but a fraction of the price (all cables in my system are all Monster Cable).

For wires I just did an install using www.knukonceptz.com wires and they turned out to be very high quality at a low price. :D

do you have a headunit or will you be tapping into the speaker wires for hi level input? if you have a headunit, you will need about 15ft of rca wire. if you are tapping into the speakers, make sure you know how.

Follow that tutorial like it is your bible, I did and the install went easier than I could have ever dreamed. The only other recomondation I would give is to drill a hole in this plate where the clutch petal is supposed to go, to bring your power wire through. And don't forget to use a grommet.
