CONNECTING SPEAKERS
You can connect four speakers, two speak- ers and a subwoofer, or just two speakers to the amplifier and your auto sound system.
Important: Before you make the connec- tions, make sure both BRG/ST switches (on the left and right sides of the amplifier) are set to ST.
Preparing the Speaker Wires
Caution: You must connect a separate wire to each speaker terminal as described in the following procedures. Unless your auto sound system’s speakers use a common ground wire, do not use a common wire or chassis ground for speaker connections.
Notes:
•We recommend you use 16- or 18- gauge marked or

•For the maximum bass response and the best overall performance, keep your speakers properly phased (connect + to + and – to
1.With the speakers placed in their approximate locations, run one wire from each speaker to the amplifier.
If you are connecting a subwoofer, run two wires from each of the subwoofer’s terminals to the amplifier.
2.Separate each wire’s two conductors at both ends for a length of about 4 inches.
3.Strip the insulation from the ends of each conductor to expose 1/4 inch of wire. Twist the ends to secure loose strands.
