Default hooking up amp w/ hi-level inputs

i have solo baric L5 with a kicker amp with high-level inputs.
how hard is it to install with these high-level inputs? i've never
hooked up an amp this way, or any amp for that matter but i figure
i'll give it a try.
i basically just run a power wire to the amp and hook up the inputs to the factory rear speaker wire, correct?
is there a ground in the back that i need to use?
any info would be appreciated.

why don't you just use a high to rca converter? it should be much easier to wire up. you can get one a walmart for around 20 bucks. much simpler, less wires.

ummmm......high level would be the same amount of wiring as a line level converter.....only thing is, if the amp is capable of using high level, it would be better to do that rather than trying to convert it with a LLC....mainly because the wal-mart LLC's don't do that great of a job and you'll get better output using the high level inputs......

You're correct, just splice into the rear speaker wires.....

run a fused power wire to the amp from the battery....... run a ground wire to the chassis from the amp, and find an ignition source to run for your remote.......simple....

I agree, use the high level input, this is like a built in converter in the Amp I use them all the time, My customer love it becuase it is one less component the have to pay for, the gray wire on the radio hareness is ignition. or the black wire at the ignition harness. There is hold down hook in the back by the cargo tray, ground it there.Bill
