Default subs and amp in golf cart?

not sure if this should be psoted here or soemwhere else, so move it if need be. tomorrow ive been asked to install a small amp a sub in an electric golf cart. what all is involed in this that is different from installing one in a car? ive never done it before, but sure it can be done fairly easily. i just dont want to mess anything up since its not mine. anyone have any install guides or anything? i googled but that wasnt very helpful.

we have an amp install kit that came out of a car (8 ga power wire, ground, remote wire, fuse and fuse holder. the CD player is already installed too.

golf cart batteries are 6 volt batteries (6 of them to make 36 volts).....im guessing getting power would be slightly different. then agian all the batteries are tied in togehter so maybe i COULD just attach it to the posts like you would a car and ground the amp to the chassis. im kinda wanting some proof that its safe this way (and wanting to know the correct way to go about it) tho bc its not my cart ill be working on!
