this is probably a noob-ish question, but if i plan to upgrade amps (ive never installed an amp) can i just take out the wires from my old amp and place them into the new one or is there a more in depth installation? sorry if this is a stupid question

For the Remote wire, RCA's and Bass Knob cord yes, for Power and Ground it depends, on the size of your current power and ground cables, and how big your new amp is.

What size wiring do you have? If it is 4 guage or larger you will just fine swapping the amps out.

i believe its 4 gauge, but are you saying say if the amp is 8 gauges ill need to rewire? i was thinking about going bigger for wiring anyway, more or less i was just curious if there would be any complications with switching amps

Yep, I would rewire if you do have 8 guage as it is only good for about 500-600rms max, if you put that new amp on it isnt gonna reach its full potential and is probably gonna pop fuses pretty often when you turn it up, as it would trying more power than the wire can carry. Everything else should transfer right over.

Also note that is 8 guage power and ground wire I am talking about.
