Help Needed for wiring sub to boat!

[Limishowman3]

Alright thanks for that tip. I had 8 g wire when I had the amp in my truck, I went to a car stereo store, and bought 6ft of 8g wire. that cost 1.99/ft. Is the ground wire supposed to be that expensive or what? I probably need to go back and by me a longer wire too. Any advice?

Ok I found the blue and white wire on the back of my head unit. Do I cut it and strip it and then run the remote wire from the amp and join it together with the blue and white wire? I know how to do it, but not sure if thats the method you take. Ill have to go buy some more ground wire though before I complete this project.

Ok I believe I understand what yall are saying. I have another question, under the cab side. There should be a mount that has lots of screws in it. One set of screws are red and the other set is black. There are wires running to this area, and I thought that may be another area to hook up your hot and ground wire. Can you hook your hot and ground wire here? Or would that be a problem? Well I guess I will be messing around some more today in the boat. I may try to upload some pictures if I still can't figure it out.

Those blocks are the poative and negative block for all your guages, horn, lights, etc. You do not want to use these terminals. I would connect the amp cables directly to the battery. I am almost done with my setup. I will post pictures soon.
