Installing an Amp..?

Hi Everyone,

Just bought this tiny amp .. and i don't have a clue what any of the wires do and where they need to go.
I've seen a lot of video tutorials.. but on there.. it seems each wire has a seperate port- whereas this one is just one plug with multiple wires..?






What the ... ..?!
I also cant make any sense of the instruction leaflet. Sorry to be a nuisance.

Any help is appreciated! Many thanks

The diagram on the case shows that there are 4 speaker pairs labelled 1 left & right and 2 left & right

The red with the fuse is likely power in, black will be earth.

No idea what it is supposed to do so can't help with any other wires, could be trigger in from a preamp, mute in from a phone, preamp power out.....

Can't see any inputs either..

What do you need it for?

Thanks for your response. I bought a 500W underseat sub which didnt fit under the seat, so i'm selling that.
But for now, i figured i'd plum it all in then fit the sub when i get it.

That is not the right amp for a sub, a sub is only a single channel, although some systems run a pair of subs. You can bridge the amps to double the power, but you need 8 ohm speakers then.
Looks like a 4 channel power amp, but not much power, I bet your radio is more powerful than that.

Don't know much about car audio I'm afraid

Does the amp have any settings for high/low pass filters?

What inputs are you going to use?

there are some high and low filters... but i have no idea what anything does.

is it worth just calling a sparky..?!

Hi Luke,
Shouldn't need a sparky - Google is your mate for this one as you should be able to download manuals for everything you have got and take it from there. Get some masking tape and label each wire as you identify it then either lay it allout onthe kitchen table or garage floor if your mother is about so you can see what goes where or draw your own diagram which you can then keep for sorting out any problems further dowwn the line

If you want to shake your windows out my lad has a Kenwood KAC 6203 amp (600Watts) and a Pioneer TS-WX 301 sub (800 Watt) with a Boss wiring kit that he bought off a mate to fit in the jeep, not really my thing so I'm afraid I have done nothing to encourage it;)

It had been used for less than a year, we decided it was too good to get knocked about and spattered with mud and it has sat here for a year now. Has all instructions and brackets etc necessary to install and is still in original boxes, although it won't go under the seat You'd also need some decent speakers and your head unit

Could be mailed down for £100 all in, not a hard sell just if of any interest, the original package from www.caraudiosecurity was £190 and it would still cost more than that to buy the components separately!

Looking at the spec of the amp online, its not going to be enough to power a sub...

You would be better off buying that amp and sub above.

Or, go for an active sub (all in 1).

Thanks for your response. The amp is supposed to be 600W and the sub is 500W. I might just send it all back to the company i bought it from and start from scratch !
Thanks again.

if you want to power a single sub, then you need one that will bridge into Mono, or will give a mono output.

If anyone is interested after "re discovering" the above stuff last week we popped it onto e bay - finishes on Sunday
