Input Wiring

Inputs may be high level (from the receiver's speaker) or low level (from special low level outputs). Low level input is preferred for best performance.

Important

Use only the low level or high level input, do not use both at one time.

Low Level Input

Use a pair of shielded stereo audio cables with RCA type jacks. Most trunk-mount amplifier installations require 20-foot RCA cables. Most under-seat and pickup truck installations use 12-foot cables.

Connect RCA cables from your receiver to the RCA input jacks on the amplifier.

High Level Input

Connect left and right speaker wires coming from radio to high level input plug as shown.
