Just curious - what kind of repeater are you setting up?

I would definately do a LOT more research on this before you do it. If you need to ask if the amp goes before the antenna, you might not want to take this on by yourself.

i can't agree more. repeaters take a bit of know how. putting in a amp seems simple when its in a simplex system but when it comes to duplex (repeater) systems it a hole different world.
