first please detail WHAT you want to install. Model # are great.

Then list the equipment that is already in the truck. ie. radio model # speakers etc. . .

the aftermarket amplifier will need :
1. +12VOLTS from battery
2. Ground
3. Remote turn on
4. Audio signal.

I would recommend that you buy an amp wiring kit from your local stereo shop. The correct size of the wire depends on the power of your amp.
