Note: The amplifier comes with the connector inserted into the amplifier with the wire clamping screws in the up position as shown below. Use a 2mm hex head wrench to secure the wires to the connector. If the connector needs to be unplugged from the amplifier, use a 2.5mm hex head wrench to remove the retaining screw from the connector (set aside and save the retaining screw).The two negative outputs are common to each other as are the two positive outputs. A speaker may be connected to either terminal.

GROUND WIRING
Locate an area near the amplifier(s) that is metal and clean an area about the size of a quarter down to bare metal. Inspect the area around and underneath to be sure you will not drill into wires, brake or fuel lines, etc. Drill a pilot hole in the middle of this area. Terminate the ground wire with a ring connector and attach it to the bare metal using a #8 sheet metal screw and washer or preferable, a bolt, nut and a star washer. (not supplied). We suggest crimping and
soldering this connection. After the 
connection is complete, coat the area 
(on both sides) with silicone or some similar material to prevent rust from
developing on the bare metal. If your total current draw is over 80 amps (or total power is over 500 watts). Keep the ground and power
