Now we are going to hit some boring stuff, oh yeah the "conventional installation". What
is "conventional installation"? It is where you have the ideal situation, you have a vehicle
that has an after market head unit, you have some RCA outputs, it is bread and butter.
Power, ground, remote and RCA, RCA's are for signal, power is obviously for power, grounding
is for grounding the amplifier to the frame of the vehicle to give it continuity and remote
is switched power, accessory power from the ignition, like your factory radio would use
to turn on the power on the amplifier. Very simple but here is a tip for you, when installing
the amplifier remember to hook up in this order, power, ground and remote. Why, you
say that, well power for power, ground for continuity and you want to hook up remote
at the last minute possible. You do not have to do it that way, but it is recommended so
that you already have constant power and then running switch instead of switch to constant
power. That is pretty conventional as you can get you know I use a fuse holder up front,
you guys out there probably know most of the basics. Not giving you an exact lesson in
amplifiers today but I am giving you a preview of what to look forward to when you want to
install an amplifier. Another day, another dollar but this is conventional installation
in a nutshell. So for all of you guys that have all those after market head units but
you have not augmented your vehicle with full range amplifier capability or some subs, time
to get up off your butts and do it, make it better and there you are, conventional installation
in a nutshell.
