Note: Connect the black ground wire to the source unit ground only if alternator noise is present.
Connect the Amplifier to the Speakers. Use thicker speaker wires (e.g. 8 - 10 gauge desirable) for these connections.
FOR STEREO MODE
Note: We recommend a total speaker load of 2, 4 or 8 ohms per channel
1.Connect the front left negative
2.Connect the front left positive ("+") speaker output of the amplifier to the positive terminal of the left speaker.
3.Connect the front right
4.Connect the front right ("+") speaker output of the amplifier to the positive terminal of the right speaker.
5.Repeat the same for the rear channel speaker connections.

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