The car amp needs to be wired using a +12 power, ground, and +12v signal (rmt) cables.  the +12 volt cable needs to be connected from the posative terminal of the car battery to a fuse (the right size should be written on the amp somewhere) then to the +12v on the amp. the ground cable needs to be connected to the negative terminal of your car battery. the RMT is the more complicated one, this needs to be connected to the header unit or the ignition switch. if you look in the instructions for your header unit (the unict where you insert CD's or tapes etc) this should explain whewre exactly to connect this cable. or you can connect it to the terminal on the ignition switch which becomes live only when you turn the key, should be the third one in. this line basicly tells your amp to turn itself on when it recieves a 12v current. you can also wire it up to a manual switch directly from the battery by connecting another cable to the posative terminal of the battery then to a switch then to the RMT terminal of the amp.

This winch should simple straight foward hook up. Your big red & black wires should hook straight to your battery. Red (+) black (-) if there is no fuse on the wires put at least a 20 amp.fuse close to your battery. These are the main power suply. They will go in a.small black box. Also coming out of the black box will be the wires that run to the cable in & out switch.and there should be one heavy ga. Wire going to the winch motor. Make sure the wire is good and clean when you hook it to the winch motor. Do not over tighten the nut . Just give a good snuging down. As for your solenoid box. That should be the little black box that your main power wires go into and controle wires come out of..

Only fuse you need is the power wire leading to your aftermarket amplifier for te subwoofer. Which most likely you have too small of a gauge of wire and burned straight through it, and if you haven't, add a 40 amp fuse near the battery where your power cable is hooked up to. Also use a multimeter to test your power wire on amp, check the

I have a amp from my car hooked up to a laptop power supply. It won't turn on. Everything is connected properly. What should I do

Why would you do that? If you were were going to do it properly, did you hook up the remote wire as well? Second, the voltage coming out the charger is >18 volts while the current draw on the amp is way too high for that charger.
Nonetheless, try a car battery if you want to test the amp.

So, everything is hooked up, the amp is getting power, but the problem is getting power from the amp to the sub, any idea what the problem could be?

Well the two main things that i think of is that your fuse in your battery wire is blown. Or that your ground wire isn't all the way connected

Stereo amp power supply

No I wouldn't share the amp feed. It should be stand alone, with its own fuse.

Yes it is wise to connect directly to the battery, hence through the firewall.

You should purchase an amp wiring kit, matched to the
watts of the amp. It has everything you need to correctly make all of the connections.

Good luck
