Kenwood Sub/Hifonics amp help

[greycamRy]

Hey, i bought a 12 inch kenwood sub and a 400watt hifonics amp off a friend of mine. If I go out, buy the battery terminal, powerwire, speakerwire, and ground wire, is that all I need to hook it up? Will this work with the stock radio?

You need to decide how you want to hook it up to the radio/speaker...easy way is a simple line out converter and connect to rear speakers. Good luck!

hey tobeit, thanks for the reply. Are you aware if the stock radio has RCA outputs? And when you say "easiest way" will I still get good bass? Thanks. im a super noob at this stuff, so all info can help.

^ No rca's ..

I have yet to ever see an oem unit with rca outputs.

Either use the level input on the amp if it has it , or get a simple line out converter and you should be fine

Thanks for anyother great answer camryse. I will have to buy the powerwire, battery terminal, and the line-out converter, and then I should be good. :cheers:

^ Oh ya, totally forgot about that :P
Sonicelectronix is good stuff, and good prices. Fast shipping. Bought from them numerous times and they are the only place I recommend for online shopping. Well for car audio and what not.
