They sell a spliter to turn your two rca outputs on the back of your radio into four rca outputs then it is easy money.

Run the rca cords to the amp and then run the speaker wires from your amp to your speakers the back speakers are self explanitory the front speakers however are a little more difficult you have to run the wires under the carpet and tap into your radio wiring harness cut the wires that went from the radio to the front door speakers and that is were you tie in the amp speaker wires.

do not run your remote wire to the battery run the remote wire to the ignition wire on the back of your head unit this is easy to find

Your head unit has to positive wires that make it works one is wire that goes to the battery and the other is activated when you turn the key I believe it will be either a yellow or a red wire this is easy enough to find with a test light. The light should come on when ignition is on and go off when ignition is off this wire is were you want to tie in your remote wire.

Also make sure that your ground wire for your amp is as short as possible. I always just drill a hole right next to the amp and bolt the wire to the metal floor.
