inch of wire. Twist the ends to secure loose strands.

LOW-LEVEL INPUTS

You can connect your auto sound system’s low-level line out jacks to the amplifier’s LOW INPUT jacks.

If your auto sound system does not have low-level line out jacks, see “High-Level (Speaker Wire) Inputs” to connect your am- plifier.

Note: For the best results, use shielded au- dio cables (not supplied) available at your lo- cal RadioShack store.

1.Temporarily place the amplifier as close as possible to the selected mounting location.

2.Connect one end of a shielded audio cable to the auto sound system’s left line out jack.

3.Connect the other end of the cable to the amplifier’s LOW INPUT LEFT jack.

4.Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to connect the auto sound system’s right line out jack to the amplifier’s LOW INPUT RIGHT jack.

HIGH-LEVEL (SPEAKER WIRE) INPUTS

If your auto sound system does not have low-level line out jacks but has only speaker outputs, connect your auto sound system’s speaker outputs to the amplifier’s HIGH IN- PUT jacks.

If your auto sound system has two speaker outputs, see “Two Speaker Outputs” on Page 9 to connect your system’s speaker outputs to the amplifier using either a floating or common ground connection.

If your auto sound system has four speaker outputs, see “Four Speaker Outputs” on Page 10 to connect your system’s speaker outputs to the amplifier using either only the rear speakers or two amplifiers to connect both the front and rear speakers.

Note: A floating ground connection lets the amplifier provide more power to each speak- er, but requires that you connect a separate wire to each speaker terminal. A common ground connection lets you use fewer wires to connect the speakers to the amplifier, but reduces the amount of power supplied to the speakers from the amplifier.

Use the supplied wire harness and the sup- plied twist-on terminal connectors to make the appropriate connections.
