You have (usually) an aftermarket head unit (cd player). That has to have Amp-Outputs, and whatever else you want (like I-Pod interface, etc).
For sub, you connect a power wire directly to the battery, running to wherever your amp is located. You have Remote Turn-On & Speaker wires running from the Head unit to the Amp, usually on the opposite side of the car (say the passenger side) of the power wire, because the power wire could cause interference in the speaker wire signal.
You then have a ground wire from the amp to a piece of metal on your car. Then you have the amp connected to the subs.
That's pretty much a basic, basic set up.
Or do you want to know about RMS, watts, Peak Power, Wire Gauge, Ohms & Impedance, among other things?
WTF.... a car audio system isn't just adding a sub. a system involves not just adding bass, but upgrading the overall quality of the sound by upgrading your mids and highs as well.
if you want to keep it simple, you can just replace the stock speakers with better speakers without doing anything else. for better SQ, you get a separate amp for the highs
????? wtf are you talking about? i have NEVER seen/heard this happen. sounds like USER ERROR to meI know that. He said he wanted a basic system. That's as basic as you can get.
On another note, fade2black, if you do look to upgrade more speakers, like molsen so kindly said, don't bother with the rear deck speakers. That would be the speakers behind the back seats. It usually messes up your soundstage causing the music to be somewhat distorted.
