I know you'll all say use the search feature but I have and couldn't find the answers i wanted.

Basically gonna be wiring up an amp soon and wanted to check a few things.

1) whats the best arrangement to group the cables in to avoid interference etc.

2) How long should it take me roughly.

3) Any other advice/tips/links to help me?

Cheers.

took a few hours for me to do it.

cable from battery is permanantly on - the remote wire switches the amp on when the head unit goes on

rca's carry the music signal from the head unit to the amp


im sounding clever here

I think someone should write some simples guides to go into the tutorial and faq section. Would save posts like this.
