Featured Connecting an Audison AP5.9bit to an external 2 Channel Active Mono Subwoofer

I am building a low end budget friendly car audio system. I have a 2020 Camry Hybrid SE.

Starting from using the existing Factory Head Unit, Wired 4 channels directly into an Audison AP5.9bit Amplifier, powering 2 x CT Sounds Mesa 6.5" Components up front, and in the Rear Doors a CT Sounds Mesa 6.5" Coaxial Speakers. Theses are connected and working fine (although still trying figure out the Abit Software to configure the sound settings)

I would like to Connect the DSP Outputs to an Active 12" 600watt Rockville Subwoofer.

User Manual shows connecting a Non-Audison with RCA's ... Did not come with RCA's, how is that done ?

I am questioning when connecting the "APL2 Connector" should I connect to to one of the 2 x Channels or to the Sub Output ??

Also the color of the connectors and not the same as what the User Manual states. See Pics

Wrong RCAs? And the connectors to the RCAs? The size of it, match it to that of the radio and same going into the amplifier. Both ends with same connection. Connectors. If you have to make your own connectors, then make your own connectors and buy it separately with the correct size RCAs. From the Audison to the radio the wrong color code is used. Same idea. Match the connection to both ends of the connection, then mark down the color coded wires used. They should connect though still. So it doesn't matter.​

You're gonna need at least one RCA jack (female is the standard), shrink tubing, a fine soldering iron and solder, and the ability/skill to solder.

The "positive" side of the output will go to the center of the RCA jack, the "negative" to the outside.

You could also do this with a "pigtail" RCA jack. Just make sure you follow the standards above.

It's not likely that your DSP supports and controls dual sub channels, so you really only need to do one.
Color coding might be wrong, but I'd stick to what is referenced on the pin-out, regardless.
