Quick Help for Sub and amp install

OK, I'm installing tonight, and could really use some help... also I'm no audio wiz.

I had Circuit City install Infinity Kappa Components in the front doors, Infinity 4" in the rear doors, and a rockford f. 4 chanel amp under my drivers seat.

They wired the "block" that came with the monster cable pack under the rear seat.

I have a 10" Alpine sub, box, and Kenwood amp to drive it sitting in my trunk.

What do I need to hook it up?

I am running the stock H/U so I have no RCA's.

I think heard the guy at Circuit city say I would need to "loop" my new amp to the rockford fosgate amp under my seat.

please help!

Thanks in advance

From: who wants to know?

when you say block, do you mean a power distribution block (fused) like so

if so and that is under your seat, you can tap your power for your sub amp there. if not, i would run a separate power wire from the battery (i wouldn't tap off the existing amp).

you will also need a remote wire (this wire can be tapped off the existing amp if you want to) 18 gauge or so

and lastly, you will need to get a couple of splitters to split off the loc for the rca's to the sub amp...i'm assuming they put one in when they installed the other amp?

sorry if this is confusing, kind of hard to explain it w/o knowing what you do/don't have. feel free to pm/email me if you have any questions
