Serious Sub/Amp wiring problem

Hi there,

Need help identifying cable with their actual use; they all look quite similar in size so I don’t know where to plug them into the amp.
The kit contains the following:

• 10 Gauge Clear Red Power Cable
• 10 Gauge Black Ground Cable
• Clear Blue RCA
• 20 Gauge Speaker Cable
• 18 Gauge Blue Remote Turn-On Wire
• 1 ATC Fuse Holder with 30Amp Fuse
• Cable Ties
• Ring and Spade Terminals
• Butt Connectors

Please may you write a colour next to the appropriate cable (by looking at the attached photo), and the purpose of that cable, it should help me work out what to do with each cable??

Thank you so much

RE: Serious Sub/Amp wiring problem

RED CABLE = BATTERY +
BROWN CABLE = EARTH/NEGATIVE
THIN BLUE = AMP REMOTE "ON" (THIS GOES TO THE BLUE CABLE ON THE BACK OF YOUR HEADUNIT)
PINK CABLE WITH RED&WHITE CONNECTORS = RCA CABLES THESE GO TO YOUR HU AND THEN TO THE AMP

RE: Serious Sub/Amp wiring problem

The brown cable, being the earth/negative, where do i plug that into????

Also the red cable which you say goes to the battery, it has a crimp connector on one end, does this end connect onto the battery??

Thanks

the earth cable will run from the negative (-) on your amp to an earthing point in the boot of your car. it should be screwed down securely to a bare metal surface to make a good earth or it could cause problems later.

yes the red power cable does connect to your battery and the positive (+) connection on your amp.
