Answer 1

I would start with the wires, and if I was you I'd do it myself. It's not that hard, it just takes time.
You should be able to get the correct gauge wire from a local car audio shop. Check the fuses too.

Answer 2

Check first if there are any other wires that got burned aside from the remote wire and the power cable. Check also your fuse if it's still ok. Yes, you can buy these wires from a hardware store or an electronic shop by feet or by yard.. For the power cable use gauge 8 or gauge 4 wires, for the remote wire use gauge 16 or 14. Before installing the wires be sure to check your amp and your stereo if there are still working because short circuit on power cable usually results in damaged the audio components inside the amp or the car stereo or both. Be sure to double check all connections and conenct the fuse of the power cable last to prevent short circuiting

Answer 3

Depending on the wattage of the amp you may need some heavy gauge wire to run from the battery to the amp. Use an inline fuse holder that is right for the wattage and the size wire. The remote wire is small usually 12-14 gauge maybe smaller. All this can be bought by the foot from car audio stores for sure and make sure you run the wires inside the car on the opposite side that the audio cables run on or you will get feedback in you speaker from the power cables.

Answer 4

"run the wires inside the car on the opposite side that the audio cables run on or you will get feedback in you speaker from the power cables." is a load of poo.

Running power wires with the audio cables will work just fine.

In order to get "induction" across wires, there has to be AC (alternating current) present. Since a car is all DC, this will never occur.

Feedback is when and audio signal output gets fed back to the inputs. This also will never occur in a car.

Here is a ton of other useful hints:

Somewhere below the middle of this site is a "power wire size to watts" chart. It will tell you the right wire size to use for your power requirements.

Answer 5

Well if you don't know much about electricity, I suggest that you look for the specific wires, cables and fuse in the manual along with your amp and buy them in any Electronic Stores.

The drawings and words written on the manuals are the guides and requirements on how to connect them.

If you do not have the manuals, you'll have to resort to bring the burnt items in the store and ask for the replacements. But my doubts that it will burn again as wire size do matters. Too small, it will burn... too big, it will degenerate.

Answer 6

"i understand you could not have too functional of an amp because it may blow your subs, and that you'll attempt to examine the rms ratings, yet what in case you has too good of subs?" in case you deliver too a lot power on your sub, you danger negative it. The cone of the speaker and the mechanical aspects that make it flow would ruin less than the rigidity. especially, too little power could also damage your subwoofer — in truth, this is actual extra problem-free than damage led to through overpowering. even as the quantity is became up and the amp don't have sufficient power, the signal turns into distorted, or "clipped." This distorted signal may reason aspects of the speaker to overheat, warp and melt. not good! you do not ought to examine speaker and amp wattages precisely. An amp with a more effective output than the speaker's score received't unavoidably damage the speaker — purely turn the amp down slightly in case you listen distortion from the sub and do not run the speaker at really loud volumes for lengthy sessions. Likewise, you'll sense good some decrease powered amp in case you retain the quantity down and do not feed a distorted signal to the sub you'll deliver the amp into clipping Clipping Clipping takes position even as an amplifier is requested to provide extra present day to a speaker than the amp is able to doing. even as an amplifier clips, it actually cuts off the tops and bottoms of the musical waveforms that this is attempting to reproduce, therefore the time period. This introduces an excellent number of distortion into the output signal. Clipping could be heard as a crunching sound on musical peaks. that motives distorted sound which will damage your subs over the years

Answer 7

Check fuses. U should have a fuse on ur power cable near the battery. This can prevent fires and cables burning. Ensure that ur amp is grounded to ur cars chasis or body. When working on uq amp or cables disconnect ur power cale from the battery.

Answer 8

I would start by going back to grade school to learn English.

Wire can be purchased at any home supply center, you don't have to use fancy gold bling-bling crap.
