U I believe u blew ur aux fuses to truck to hook aftermarket amp up u run one power wire from battery in vehicle straight to all unless u have compactor

Then u go to it first then to amp find a metal bolt the bigger the better for bolt and it's also better to have thick gauge ground and + wires. After this are ready to go in amp u run a wire same size as back of stereo wires. But blue white stripe wire is your remote wire remote is like you ignition when I turn on ur car with keys it's like hitting power botton on a tv remote. But run it to the amp then run your rca cords (red amd white plugins) from Jack in back of stereo to amp
