Tryin To Install A 500watt Amp and 12inch Sony Sub..and wiring aftermarket headlights

Hello All,

I have a few questions.

First I had a 500 watt amp and a sony 12inch sub given to me and I was wanting to know how to wire up the amp to the radio in my 07 Cobalt sedan. If Im not mistaking Im pretty sure the stock radio doesnt have the rca plugs I need and was wondering whats the best way to go about plugin the rca cords in. Ive heard I can get a scosche rca adapter and wire that to my 2 rear speakers and then just plug the rca cords into that.

And I was looking at some aftermarket projector headlights and I noticed they have a high beam and low beam bulb but on my 07 cobalt sedan i only have a bi xenon hid bulb and not another plug for a hi/low beam headlight.

Does anyone know how to wire up the amp to the stock radio in a 07 cobalt sedan and about the headlights idk how i would wire the second bulb up to the high beams.

Thanks alot guys. !

you are correct on the rca adapter and thats how i did mine just wire it up to the rear 6x9 and for your remote wire tap into your fuse box and use the sunroof fuse for that to get that make sure you use a good ground

its best to do both but you can do just one

with the headlights ur hids wont work with the aftermarket projectors you would need new bulbs for them to work
