I just got a 95 Galant w/ 130k miles on it. It runs great & is fun to drive. Though I have a few odd quirks with my car. The previous owner had the car for basically its entire life (110k+ miles) as his daily driver. It has decals on it ("Mitsubishi Racing" and more) and he had rims on it but slapped on the stock steels w/o hubcaps before he traded it in - mostly for looks but it does give a slight hint to what else he did to the car.

I've done aftermarket stereos, amp & subs before (4GA through a 90 Olds Cutlass Calais which was so-so and then through a 91 Camry which was dead simple) so I'm familiar with basic wiring and such before getting this car.

The stereo....
He, the P/O, put in a head unit (Sony CDX-CA720) w/ a multi-disc cd changer (Poineer).

He had a 4 channel amp & a second amp hooked up w/ new wiring for the interior speakers (Doors & Deck w/ a possible set in the dash) for the 4 channel. However the wiring for this is like a small red, 8GA or less, wire from the battery through a tiny hole which led to the interior then back to the trunk. Okay simple right? So whats the second red kinda thin wire that was jammed into the moonroof fuse (fuse box in the interior near the driver door) and runs back to the trunk doing? Is it supposed to be setup to use the 2x power sources going to the 1x power source on the amp? Do I "double up" the lines onto the 1x power source for the amp?

I googled a basic system diagram and then modified it to suit my situation. The amps & sub aren't there anymore but I'm getting some asap...

Also is the the only way to get a 4GA+ wire through from the battery to the trunk is by going through the soft foamy material around the steering column? Or can I just take off a wheel well cover & slip it through a gromet to the interior?

Thanks....

use only one power wire on any amp. you can use 0 gauge wire and then have it run to a power splitter and have 2 2 gauge wires come out to run 2 amps. the tiny red wire was probably a monkey rigged remote wire. these Mitsubishi's tend to have a dash clock out side of the radio which uses the stock remote wire to run and therefore someone who doesn't know that will not be able to find the remote wire so they just make one off of a system they don't normally use all the time.

Hey, thanks for the info. The red wire is definitely to the amp along with the second red wire for power. I see the remote wire and it's hooked up properly w/ the dash clock, head unit & amps (went they were there). There's a total of 4 sets of wires. 1x from the battery (red), 1x from the interior fuse box (red), 1x remote wire (blue/green) and 1x Ground (black which leads to the front from the trunk?!?!). I've taken some pictures today of my car for my CarDomain profile & I'll put in the pics of the wiring setup in case it might help someone else out (giving them ideas or for a similar setup).

I was planning to just run a 0 or 2GA line to the trunk. I've done a 4GA, through the steering column material, like I said but for 2 amps I'll definitely need a bit more power.

The only question that is left for me is.... Can I safely run a 0GA through the soft foamy material around the steering column w/o having a water or other issues? I also noticed there was a bundle of wires on the right side behind the headlight - does this run through to the interior via a gromet in the wheel well?
