Take a computer PSU, find the longest molex you can, cut off the connector, and the yellow wire and the black wire next to it will be the two you will need to power the amp. Next, find the 20-24 pin connector on the PSU and cut the green and black wires in the middle on the side with the clip piece. Then, get a switch, or just tie those two together to get the psu to switch on. Then take the yellow wire and put it as the 12 v power supply on the amp, and get a short wire to go from the power to the switch spot. The black is obv the ground. And if you have one rca instead of two, just put it on the left channel of the amp, and get another rca cord and go from the left channel rca out ( where you can plug the rcas to another amp in a car) and put it as the right input so both channels are getting a signal. That should be it.

Bold- that would be the B+ (positive) right ?
Underlined- What does this mean?

A) Not sure what its called, but on a molex there is a yellow, 2 blacks, and a red. Use the yellow as the 12 v and the ground right next to it for the ground obv.
B) a remote wire is just a 12v feed from the Head unit on a car, so to get the amp to turn on, you need a 12v feed, Just take a short piece of speaker wire or something and make a tiny loop from the 12v power source on the amp into the sport for the remote wire.

Same.
It's so easy to install a head unit.

There's so many wires on this PSU though.
There's only one 20 connector molex though.
there's black fabric stuff over it to keep it neat or w/e
theres like 5 or 6 black wires on it tho...
and 2 yellows going to the same connector
