How do I install an amp and subwoofer on a 2001 Ford Escort sedan?

Answer 1

WHY

Answer 2

The same as you would in any other vehicle. If you're not comfortable pulling up trim peices on your car to route wire, or you don't have basic tools, then simply hire a car audio store to do it for you.



If you choose to do it yourself, it is actually very simple: Choose a mounting spot for the amplifier that allows good airflow. Run a fused power wire from the positive terminal of your battery to the amplifier, and a ground wire from a clean, exposed metal part of the vehicle's chassis. Route RCA cables from the back of the head unit (assuming it has one - if it doesn't, and your amplifier has the correct inputs, you can tap into the existing speaker wire to get a signal) to the amplifier. You also have to route a remote turn on wire (again, if your head unit has the correct output) or tap into a powered antenna wire to the amplifier so that it will turn on. Lastly, you run speaker wire form the amp to the sub, play some music to make sure it turns on, then adjust the gain (or volume) on the amp until it matches the rest of your audio system.



hope that helps

Answer 3

Easy just need to figure out where you are going to put them and then starting running the wires and hooking it all up.

Answer 4

You might have better luck if you install them IN your vehicle instead of ON it. Just a thought.
