Your amp will need to be connected straight to the battery for the +12 volt feed, you can earth it with a bolt next to the amp, you may have to drill into the floor for this though. You will have to feed a remote cable to your amp from you head unit, this is usually blue in colour. Don't forget the RCA cables too.

To get the +12 volt feed, is the car an impreza? has it got air-con, if not theres a nice big grommit on the passenger side of the bulk head that is ideal for getting cables into the cabin.

Also don't forget the fuse, which needs to be positioned as close to the battery as possible.

 

its a 1999 impreza turbo with aircon. how do i wire the amp to the engine compartment (battery)

 

Hi mate, it's easy - go through the same grommet as the aircon.

Can't think why you need aircon where you live
