well im 100% newbie in installing a system.
i bought a clarion dxz545mp deck it has
# Subwoofer Volume Control
# Built-In Low-Pass Crossovers
# 2 Ch. Front + 2 Ch. Rear/Sub RCA Line Level Output
# 2 Zone Control With Dedicated RCA Line Level Outputs
i bought an INFINITY 1020W 10 INCH CAR SUBWOOFER
i bought a ALPHASONIK Q2150 2-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER which does 300 rms @ 4ohms bridges.

my question is how hte hell do i put this stuff together? i think the stuff on the deck connects with the amp right since it says sub rca output.

i need a complete guide starting from cables and so on.

There is a lot of danger doing it yourself. One wire connected to the wrong terminal and you could fry the equipment. Since you sound like you have never done anything in the 12v world, take it to a pro. It is NOT plug and play like a home theater system.

Any Future Shop or Best Buy (although there are nay-sayers on here) they have warantees to back their work.
