if you have aftermarket stereo it is very easy pull the stereo out of the dash and take your rca wires and plug them in to the back of the stereo and then take your blue wire which is remote wire and conect it to the remote wire on the back of the stereo, from there you rum the wires to your amp. ground the amp and hook up the sub to the amp and you are good to go. hope this helps.
