Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone out there can help.

I have just bought a 2nd hand twin 12" subwoofer enclosure and amplifier for my car, but are unsure how to wire up the power leads that are on the amp.

The amp has a thick yellow wire, thick black wire with a thin red and thin purple wire joined together, coming out of the amp ready to connect to my cars power supply.

What I dont know is where these yellow, black and red/purple wires will connect to my cars exsisiting wires, ie earth, live etc.

If it helps, its a Hitachi 300w car amp

I anyone can help, that would be most appreciated
 
There is usually a

live wire - red and fused which goes to the + terminal on your battery

ground wire - which is black and connects to a metal part of the car

blue wire - which is the trigger wire and connects to your head unit

I would say the yellow is the live wire, the black is ground, and the thin wire is the trigger wire by the sounds of it.
