I had this installed some years ago, but I removed it a couple of months ago. Now I want it back in, but don't know how to connect it. Some wires seem obvious but others don't.
How do I connect this amp?

Red = Batt +
Black (larger) = ground
Black (with blue) = remote
RCAs = obvious
2nd pic = no clue LOL. Shoulda labeled those.
***shoulda taken pics prior to taking it out***

Awesome. Thanks a lot!
Do you know if something else has to be done first or connect one wire before the other?
Look under the hood for a fuse, remove the fuse. Then hook up the Red, black and Blue.
Hook up the RCA's then grab your speaker wire and see if it is marked with a line or symbols or something, and make sure you connect it the same way at the sub and at the amp. IE: wire with a line goes to positive speaker output on the amp, and the red terminal on the sub. the negative on the amp goes to the black terminal on the sub.

Thanks for the info!
After some googling, do I pull "Radio 15A" or Radio/AMP 30A"?
I believe @YukonXL04 is referring to the fuse that is at the battery. When the amp was installed it should have been installed with an "amp kit". That red wire should be going from the amp to the battery with an inline fuse near where it connects to the battery. He's saying to remove that.
it will look like any one of these, near battery. <------- click me

Doesn't look the pictures, but I found this.
That's the one! You should have removed it when you removed the amp lol. Chances are it's blown though.
Thats it. pull that fuse.
Wow, fuse in while power wire is flopping around in vehicle next. possible fire.
Its not blown, I can clearly see the bar inside the body.
