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


You know what im talking about? not like a sata connector, an older plug that they use to use on the old hard drives and cd roms.

And the strands you will need is the 20 pin connector and the 4 pin molex that i described.

cut off the connector, and strip the yellow and black one next to it, there should be a red wire and black wire, just wrap them with electrical tape real good and tuck them away.

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.


i dont get this.
there's only one 20 pin connector, but there's no clip piece :S

there should be one side that has a clip that connects to the motherboard, right behind the clip thing should be a green and black wire side by side.

Cut those two wires only, you can connect a simple two way switch or something to them because that's how you are going to turn everything on/off ;)
