    i just bought 2 15inch Sub woofers and an amp (all JBL) and a wiring kit but i need some help, i dont have a clue what to do. The back seats will be folded down incase i need em in the future.

    i have got my hands on the following...

    2x15inch JBL GT3-15 subs
    Pro Power GTi A302GTi amp
    Autoleads amp wiring kit PC4-27 (8-Gauge Terminated power and earth cables, Blade fuseholder and spare 40amp fuse, OFC 5m phono cable, Remote switch lead, 2m subwoofer speaker cable and speaker terminals for ampliier and speaker.)

    I'm not sure if the wiring kit is for 1 sub or if it will wire up two subs.

    *cries*

    Is there anyone here that can give some advice and things to remember? Stuff i need etc? Anyone brave enough to give me a hand?

    Fanks.

    heh...
    If you need a hand, I'll gladly jump in and get me hands dirty. the install will be very similar to mine maybe just a wee bit louder tho... :blackeye:
    You should be able to do them both with the kit you got. you might need some more connectors tho
    Did you get a set of Phono leads to connect the amp to the Head Unit?

    the edge of the JBL logo on the amp glows a dull red which is cool. The black box and the red logos and wiring match the car fine so far, but i'll upholster it in the future. Plenty of room left in the boot. Just need to secure the install now.
