I have the manual but it dosent show everything. So, I need a pic of it up and running to see what I have wrong if I have anything wrong

I have no pics, but as I've just installed mine a few days ago, perhaps I can help.

PSU to motherboard
Doesn't matter which way, although I have the molex connectors coming from the PSU side.

Powerswitch
You can leave your case/mb switch plugged in, the PSU will still function (ignition on/off), and then you can manually power on/off the PC.

Power leads
(J11) White - Unswitched
(J12) Red - Switched
(j13) Black - Ground

Is this what you're looking for? Other installation questions?

yea my power supply came with no conectors just the power wires. Im trying to find out what connectors I need I went to radioshack and looked for some 2 pin conectors they dont have any. and I need something to look at to c what I can supstute. I have 12 volt power coming from my distrbution block for the amp and the switched is coming from the radio harness and so is the ground. my queston is do I have to have any thing else hooked up besides those wires like the led the switch etc. I have a switch on my motherboard to turn it on.

The power supply is supposed to be managing the MOBO, I think I have the manual in a PDF I can post. You need a 3rd wire going to ignition to the PS knows when the car is turned on and off to control the MOBO.

yea I did that but where does the powersupply hook up to the mb and I need a 2 pin connector for that right I think I have the pdf. Another question on the pdf it says that the remote wire for the amp connects to the powersupply but I dont see where it connects anybody connected on to it?

Yes you do need 2 wires. Your best bet may be putting that together yourself. I can snap a few pics of the conenctions in the morning. Remote wire for the amp? I have the power supply connected to the car by 3 wires (+,-, ignition).

thanks Bryan

Sounds like you're good to go. Shouldn't need anything else. I'm running mine with only the wires I listed above.

All the pics you need should be in this photo set.
