How to install a car amplifier | Crutchfield DIY video

That said, this older video provides a good high-level overview. Following is the original description:

When you buy your amp from Crutchfield, you'll have access to our technical support experts, who can help you if you hit any snags during installation. They're available 7 days a week, and for the lifetime of your gear.

This video really REALLY helped, but the guys voice was so calming and not screaming and forceful. Thanks for making this first Crutchfield install easy.

Man still replying to comments and questions 7 years after the video release, crutchfeild is the bomb. If I had seen this video before buying my stuff I would have bought from crutchfeild . If I ever decide to add a sub woofer to my Miata cf is the first place I'm looking from now on

I love how the power cable magically slides right through the firewall grommet with no problem 😂

I love how positive and encouraging the comments sections of videos seem to be these days. This one is no exception. Good video and it;s nice to see how far we've come in the way we treat one another

I heard of you guys through CAF and have bought all my car audio equipment with the exception of the aftermarket radio from you guys. Phone support is top notch and make sure all my needs were met.

By far the best tutorial I've seen

glad i watched this before attempting to do it myself !

I'm glad I'm having mine professionally installed. I wouldnt have the patience to do it myself. I bought the sony xm-gs4 from amazon but said it was sold by crutchfield.

I have 2 questions -
1. What did you use to seal the crack on the rubber grommet for weather protection ?
2. Did you use double-sided tape to mount the fuse holder? If yes, which tape would you recommend, or if you could share a link to buy it ?

Good video but the wire going into and coming out of the fuse block is protected- doesn’t seem like it would protect the wire before it but it does - it’s in series with the entire wire run so any over current will blow the fuse

[Chromedome-ssmg]

I wouldn't have thought crutchfield would wire their power wire to the amp without a connector. Just wrapping it around the screw is what I used to do but now I use connectors.

Thanks for the video! Great informative diy tutorial!

A questoin does the speakers need RCa cable? Or i can just connec the amp to my headunit with RCA and cut their power from the headunit and move that to the amp?

[skyskyscraper]

Thank you for making it so easy to understand

[Pl_mzk]

The best amp install video on youtube!

[infodisco]

One quick question, so with the remote wire, how would you attatch it into an after market stereo?

I was browsing on the Crutchfield website. I put my car (Altima 2015, No Bose center logo. Yes I can see the corner speakers, and without center navigation screen), just to see if there was an option to have all 6 speakers from Kenwood but there isn't 😓.

I followed this and the fuses in the amp blew instantly
