Installing an amplifier on your car will boost your sound level and quality of the sound to a much higher level. The task to install an amplifier is really quite simple, and can be done by most anyone providing they have 2 to 3 hours to spare. This Do-It-Yourself install amplifier’s guide will save you a few hundred dollars that you could have spent at a car stereo shop if you hire them to do the work.

Before you begin, you will need wire connectors, black tape, a Phillips screwdriver, a flat head screw driver, and a little bit of patience, as this can be confusing if you do not know anything about the electrical system in your car.

At the first step you will need to remove the stereo from the dash of your vehicle. You will notice on the back of the car stereo and area where additional jacks can be plugged into. Look for the RCA jack plug-ins. Plug your new quality cables into the provided jacks. Plug the additional wire into the remote, so that the amp knows when to power up or power off.

Now you need to have attached to the wires long enough leads to stretch to your car amplifier. Conceal all the wires as you work back to the amp. Plug into the amp in the area provided. Now you will need to wire your speakers into the amplifier car by string wire from each speaker to the amplifier. Once this has been completed, you are ready to rock and roll. Be sure running them under panel’s hides all your wires and carpeting and molding through out the vehicle. Do not leave any bare exposed wire. Cover each bare wire with black electrical tape before concealing within the panels.

After you have tested the power and function of the car amplifier, and everything is working properly you are ready to put the car stereo back into the dash, and close everything up. Make this the last task you do in case you have to back track your steps to be sure none of your wiring has been damaged or pinched as you are hiding it under panels.

The first thing to check if your car amplifier and car stereo has no sound or power is the fuses. There are usually two in-line fuses in the wiring of the stereo, check to see if they have blown. Be sure to check all the fuses in your inline wiring behind the stereo, and check your fuse panel box. Replace any fuses and try it again.
