INSTALLATION continued
INPUT CONNECTIONS
Connect the RCA input jacks of the Amplifier to the output of the Source Unit (i.e., radio, cassette player or CD player). If line level output is not available, connect the speaker outputs of the source unit to the Speaker Level input of the amplifier.
Figure 8: High/Low Impedance Inputs
Note: Connect the black ground wire to the source unit ground only if alternator noise is present.
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
Connect the Amplifier to the Speakers. Use heavy gauge speaker wires (e.g. 8 - 10 gauge desir- able) for these connections.
FOR STEREO MODE
Note: We recommend a total speaker load of 2, 4 or 8 ohms per channel
1.Connect the left negative
2.Connect the left positive ("+") speaker output of the amplifier to the positive terminal of the left speaker.
3.Connect the right negative
4.Connect the right positive ("+") speaker output of the amplifier to the positive terminal of the right speaker.

FOR BRIDGED (MONO) MODE
Note: For bridged mono mode, we recommend a total load of 4 or 8 ohms.
1.Connect the left positive ("+") speaker output of the amplifier to the positive input terminal of the speaker.
2.Connect the right negative
3.Make sure that BOTH RCAs (left/right) are plugged in, otherwise bass response and output will suffer.
