How do I install my Jensen A1000 amplifier in my '97 Dodge Intrepid?

The blue wire is called a remote wire. your deck is supposed to have a similar wire that you can connect to the wire. What that does is allows your deck to turn on your amp.

ok do you have stock speakers or did you buy new speakers and a sub to support your AMP? there are many ways to install it such as were are you going to run the wires which need to have the right power specs on them let me know and i will be able to help your more

Its pretty easy actually. Do you have subs? Basically you need, a power wire (with a fuse), a ground wire, and a remote or some sort (off the back of the stereo or by switch.) Also your stereo will need an RCA output to go to the amp for a signal. Disconnect your battery before you hook things up as a safety precaution. Find a good place for your Amp. preferably a place where air can get to it, that what those fins are, for keeping the amp cool.

I would hook it up to your battery, you can use a CAP, or capacitor if you experience dimming when the amp is turned all the way up. But if your into quality listening then you probably shouldnt go up past 3/4 the way. If you want more details, or step by step instruction just funmail me and I’ll get you all hooked up.
