    Okay. So i just need to pull the carpet back and thats it? When i get it threw how do i run the wire? Can i hook it up to the fuse box? Or does it have to go on the battery? I know u answered this already but i wanna make sure im ok. I have an aftermarket radio its a Pioneer. There is a blue wire hookup in the back of it thats where i connect the blue wire frok the amp to right?

    dont think so, you amp power wire should go on the top post to the fuse box, the amp doesnt get power from the HU, just signals

    Okay well in my last car i had to hook my amp up to a blue wire in the head unit. Okay so i can use the fuse box sweet. Thx. That saves me from running it to the battery and wasting that wiring. Thank u for your help.

    As dpzelenak said, hook you main power wire here. (the fuse is circled, very important) But your HU is not just for signal. You will need to connect your amps remote wire to the amp turn on lead of your HU. Usually blue from the HU harness.


    03 GTP...Its got pulleys and stuff.
