How hard is it? Any Diagrams or good websites?
Also, what should I have for the install? Gauge wires are a given..what else? I heard I'm gonna need a fuse also?
It's a 4channel amp.Ch1 and Ch2 will be for my front seperates, and Ch3 and Ch4 for my sub

It's not difficult if you understand basic automotive electricity and basic stereo/amplifier/speaker concepts.
By you saying you heard you might need a fuse, you obviously don't have a real clue as to how to install an amplifier.
My suggestion to you is to visit your local library or retail book store and do some reading and research on amplifier install and basic automotive electricity.
Once you feel comfortable with what you are about to do, make sure you have a friend or family member who has done an amp install before supervise you in the install.
The last thing you want to do is to either let the smoke out of your components or let the smoke out of your entire vehicle by burning it to the ground. Like a cigarette, once you let the smoke out, you'll never be able to get it back in.

now fish rcas and remote wire tru dash.run under carpet.
take out back seat.

take off positvie battery cabel.
put the power wire on bolt(dont bolt up now
now hokk up fuse no less than 12 inches away from battery
find hole in firewall to stick in
then stick it in then run under carpet now put tru backseat.
now find a good ground in trunk....
thats it really
need 2 amps you cant run subs off a 4 chanel(most of the time unless ou have a beast of a 4 channel like a 1000 rms) usually just for all interior speakers so you need two amps or youll weakest subs ever cuz youll have to turn the amp all the way down to keep from blowing your fronts into pieces
