Input & Output wires to Amplifier

Hi,

Could anyone help me out on which wires are going to the inputs and outputs.

For the Inputs, do I just need to combine all positive/negative/Left/Right wires using an RCA cable going to my amp input like;

Front Left Tweeter Positive: Green/Black
Front Left Positive: Green/Black
Rear Left Positive: Blue/White

Front Right Tweeter Positive: Green/Yellow
Front Right Positive: Green/Yellow
Rear Right Positive: Pink

Front Left Tweeter Negative: Light Green
Front Left Negative: Light Green
Rear Left Negative: Blue/Black

Front Right Tweeter Negative: Grey/Red
Front Right Negative: Grey/Red
Rear Right Negative: Blue/Yellow

Is this the same thing with the output wires?

Thanks,
Robin

hey the inputs on amp, are speaker outputs from deck VIA rca to inputs on amp. Then speaker wires from output on amp to speakers!

Input & Output wires to Amplifier

Hi,

yes, but I'm not very sure which wires is it.
If your gonna look at the input section, there is only 4 inputs which is REAR (L & R) and FRONT ( L & R ). and this are the wires from the head unit.

Constant Power: White/Green
Key On/Accessory Power(if you want): Yellow/Red
Ground: Black
Front Left Positive: Green/Black
Front Left Negative: Light Green
Front Right Positive: Green/Yellow
Front Right Negative: Grey/Red
Front Left Tweeter Positive: Green/Black
Front Left Tweeter Negative: Light Green
Front Right Tweeter Positive: Green/Yellow
Front Right Tweeter Negative: Grey/Red
Rear Left Positive: Blue/White
Rear Left Negative: Blue/Black
Rear Right Positive: Pink
Rear Right Negative: Blue/Yellow

It's kind of confusing because there's Left Positive & Left Negative and if I'm gonna look at the RCA input there's no Left Negative.

Thanks,
Robin

Not sure exactly what your question is, but an RCA connection has both a + and - on it, the outside of the RCA is usually the positive and the center prong is the negative, looking at your amp, you have 4 RCS plugs (4x2=8) and 8 speaker outputs, seems like a perfect match to me, or is this not what you were asking?

EDIT: wait....sounds like you're coming off the deck that has no RCA outputs??.....you can't safely do this, the deck is powered, RCA inputs on that amp are for "low power inputs"....you'll need a couple LOC's (line output converters) to do this.

Input & Output wires to Amplifier

There's 16 wires from HU output connector.
I only need the Remote Turn-on and the speaker output for my Level Converter and Amps. Is it necessary to connect the Constant Power and Ground wire (etc... excluding wires going to the speakers.) with the wire harness (additional male & female in series connection ) going to the original connector?

Thanks,
Robin
