hey guys i have a 98 blazer with a stock stereo and want to hook up an amp with a sub to it. Im a little confused on what i need for it to work. I know a power and ground cable but form there im not sure. If someone could tell me what i need that would be great.

a set of rca cables that go from the back of the radio to ur amp an a remote wire. ur stock radio mite not have rca's plugs on it so i will have to get a adaptor. it takes ur speaker wires that come out of the radio an converts to rca plugs. so u can hook up a amp to it hope that helps out

Make sure you make sure you hook the remote wire up in fuse panel to the radio fuse so when your radio comes on your amp comes on on a stock radio there not a spot for remote wire hop this helps

i had a 01 pontiac grand prix and i had a pounding sub and amp set up but i wanted to keep my steering wheel controls on my steering wheel so i went to my local audio shop and i bought this thing called an inline converter. i tied it into my rear speakers and then it plugged into my rca cables that went to the amp. it was around 16 bucks and wuz really easy to hook up all u hafta do is plice into the speaker wire on one side. in the directions it says to hook it to both but the guy at the audio sho said it comes out better if u only do one. like i said it was one of the easiest things ive ever done and i have like no knowledge of electrical stuff haha
