simplest way i can think of is....
- unplug the negative terminal from your battery during installation of the power cables.
-take 4 awg (or w/e, ill just say that for now since its what i use) and find a ground point in your car, sand it down, then connect the 4awg to a ring terminal and crimp it and screw it down to that ground point and take the other end of the wire and connect it to ur negative connector of your amp.
-take a 4 awg power wire long enough to reach ur battery to your amp and put a in line fuse (4 awg = 80 amps fuse i believe) within i believe 18 inches within the battery.
-take that 4 awg cable (which is positive) and plug it into positive connector of the amp.
-get a small, say 18 awg power cable long enough to reach your HU to your amp, and connect that together.
-get a pair of rca connectors long enough to reach from your HU to your amp and connect them (red to red, white to white)
-get speaker wires long enough from your speakers to your amp, and connect positive to positive and negative to negative.
Guess thats not simple enough, but eh its pretty easy.
