[QUOTE="Samuel Lee, post: 7397819, member: 634659"] Only one amp was stolen from under my seat, leaving the other amp and head unit in tact. They clipped and yanked the wires out leaving a bit of a mess so I need help wiring it up again if anyone is willing. First, I know the big red wires are for power/ground, but I don't know which of the two is hot and which is ground, and I don't have a volt-meter and I would prefer not ripping the carpet up to hunt for where the ground is bolted in so I was wondering if it was safe to guess, and have it not fry anything if I'm unlucky the first go. If not I'll just go buy a volt meter. My system is custom and has quite a few speakers and I'm thinking they all just hook up to the same speaker input but I don't know if the wires are have to be put in specific slots. Obviously split, but I guess I'm asking if it just needs to complete a circuit, or if there is a specific pos/neg connection to note for the input. I didn't notice any distinction on the wire pairs though unless I missed something. I think the two subs are connected to the intact amp and this one drives all the mids. There's at least 6 pair of blue wires. This amp has rca inputs and outputs and I don't know which is which but I'm thinking guessing on this is safe enough yeah? Well if anyone could help me out on this I'd appreciate it greatly. I've been without tunes for months. [/QUOTE]
