buy a wire kit with thick enough wires for the amp.. It should have the instructions but heres the basics.. thick wire goes to battery from amp and you need to drill a hole through firewall (usually under carpet buy you gas and break pedals) to run it and it should have a inline fuse.. RCA wires go from amp back of radio a wire from amp ground need to be connected to a large metal part of your car. memory wire needs to hook to a power source that's only on when your cars on that way your amp does not kill your car battery when you park. and then connect all the speakers.

Can you hook a car subwoofer to a DJ amp?

Yes you can hook up a car subwoofer to a dj amp. Some dj amps have a barewire hook up on them so you can hook it up using the same wires as you would with your car amp. If not then you would have to either convert your hook up on the speaker box to the style in which your amp takes, or splice new ends onto your existing wires to hook up to the amp. The one thing to watch out for is your rms and peak power. Dj amps tend to be a bit more powerful then car amps and you can cause damage to your speaker and or amp by forcing to much power, or by giving to little power. I suggest trying it out at home for a good amount of time on a med. power level to see if the amp and speaker can hold to a couple hours of non stop use before I would take it to a gig with me.

Yes you can, The battery is in the back of the trunk, you hook your amp up to the battery and then the amp to the sub, you need to buy a converter for the back speaker, you can buy one from any car audio shop, you then splice the wires in the back and hook up your converter, then hook the converter to the amp, But get it professionally installed because my buddy tried to do it with his magnum and it started to blow fuses, It shocked him today, he is going to get it professionally done today
