[QUOTE="Frankensuby, post: 2456850, member: 569869"] Well, as it says, what is the correct to wire up an amp. I've installed 4 amps trouble free, but I never knew what order to plug stuff in. Let's use a multichannel as an example. What I need to know is what order you plug in wires to BE SAFE and not destroy audio. My usual procedure: 1. Ground cable 2. Remote 3. Channel wires (speakers) 4. Power cable (turn amp on , then off) 5. Plug in RCA's This was prompted by my recent issue with killing the RCA pre-outs in my Pioneer deck. I want to know the correct order and any procedure required to not backfeed to the deck, or blow up the amp. ~Levi [/QUOTE]
