    FEATURED Some confusion setting up 5 channel amp

    So, this diagram is from the user manual. Are they saying that front speakers left/right rca go into channels 1/3? And rear go to 2/4? That doesn't make sense to me, because you adjust the crossover for 1/2 and 3/4. Anyone familiar with this RP 600.5 from Skar?
