Not sure exactly what you're asking.
You want to know how to install the amp?

Well, I learned about this stuff by reading the manual on my headunit. And reading alot of this stuff: http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Learn...egory.aspx?c=3
This should be more than enough information to hook up your own sound system.

hookin amps up is easy....12v from battery, ground somewhere it you truck... seat brackets are good, audio inputs from radio, remote wire from remote wire on radio (or acc wire... its a good idea to run that to a switch them to the amp so you can turn it off while the radio is on if you need to

you need to switch the pre-amp output to subwoofer and just hook up the patch cables to the amp

Read the manual for the headunit, it should tell you. You should be looking for things like: high pass filters, low pass filters, equalizers (eq3), sub volume.
