would help to know a little more. but basicly you need to run a power wire from your battery to the amp. fused less than 18" from the battery(proper fuse rating needed). and the power wire will need to be gauged properly. determined by the amplifiers amparge rating. ground directly to the chassis less that 18" from the amp. wiring the speakers is a hole different game depending on what ohms your speakers are and what ohm your amp is stable at. in normal situations you'll find it will be 4 ohms and wired in stereo like most conventional setups. depending on the wattage you'll need to gauge the speakers wire properly to. hopefully i helped and if you need more help give some more info and im sure this forum will help. lol
