How to install sub woofers and amplifier in 2001 impala?
Run an amp wire through the firewall, under the carpet into the trunk, run a remote turn-on wire from the head unit to the trunk, and run your RCA's from the head unit to the trunk. Make sure you have an in-line fuse big enough no more than 12" from the battery on the power wire. Find a good ground in the trunk, or drill a hole and ground it under the car somewhere. Hook everything up, and keep the volume down until the sub(s) are broken in. Then feel free to bump!
How do you bypass the parking brake by grounding wires?
on my older jvc its no problem at all just ground the wire that your radio says to hook up to the ebrake. newer ones and like my pioneer need to have the radio turned on first then ground that wire. trick is --- get a standard universal relay--- like from autozone for your aftermarket driving/fog lights. take the 85 terminal of your relay and hook it to your radios power amplifier wire(usually blue with white stripe), take the 86 terminal and hook it to ground. take the 87 terminal and hook to the same ground, and finally take the 30 terminal and hook it to you radios ebrake wire. simple :-)
Does the common wire hook up to ground on thermostat?
No, the common wire (often labeled as C) does not hook up to ground on a thermostat.

Ground connections are typically separate and used for safety, while the common wire is essential for powering the thermostat's electronic components.

Hook up the red wire to the fuse box or another wire that gives power when the key is on. Hook up the white wire to a wire coming out of the headlight switch. This will make is so that when you turn your headlights on, the light will come on on the tach. If you don't mind the light on the tach being on all the time then just hook it to another power wire.

There will be a negative sign on the coil denoting the correct side.
