New To Car Audio, Installation help needed :)

Hi, So I have 2 polk audio 4 ohm woofs, an enclosure, a q1-750 amplifier (http://www.soundqubed..com/Q1-750-Amplifier_p_46.html) I was wondering if you guys could recommend a good 4 gauge wiring kit? Also I would like to know how to hook it all up, because the diagram I was given (at end of post) shows that the amp only has a positive and negative speaker terminal. The q1-750 has two positive and negative speaker terminals. How would I hook it up like in the picture? If this is a stupid q or I posted in the wrong section, please let me know and ill move my post but I am super confused and never have put together a sub system before. Thanks for the help guys!

Your amp is a 2 channel u can wire each channel to each sub or link the subs together and use positive on one channel and negative on the other channel. This is bridging. It's really up to you. Bridging will change you ohm load.

So would I wire it up like in the picture for a 1 ohm load? If i bridged like you said, what would the ohm load be? because I want the 1 ohm load because my woofs are at 750 w at a 1 ohm load I believe.

Hello I think first you need to decide if you want to wire it to 4ohms or 2ohms or 1 .Hopefully you have run your RCA and remote and power cable into the car already. If your not sure what you are doing you can on me and I wouldn't mind helpings you mate

Alright so I found all that stuff out, but I was wondering, the blue remote wire I am supposed to attach to the head unit, is it supposed to be plugged into the car's sound system blue wire and the head unit's harness blue wire or just the head units harness blue wire?

Thumbs up

There should be remote wire from your stereo check the manual if you cant find it let me know and i will take a picture of mine for you. The remote goes from your head unit to the amp, that wire controls the amp. Pm me if you need any help mate
