[QUOTE="nquizit, post: 8374618, member: 665514"] WEll going good so far I guess. The only problem im facing is where I'm supposed to put the rcas. The RCA's and speakers are all marked ch1 - 4. only problem is the speaker wire is marked with nothing. I realized this was a problem when trying to figure out which rca goes where. Im also guessing the the Subwoofer rca goes into the second 2 channel baja amp. So my final guess is that the 1-4 channel speaker wires need to be matched up to the 1-4 channel rca's going to the HU. This is all just theory mind you. But let me know if Im wrong and I'll just hook whatever up to whatever! If I try to randomly find the correct order of rca's-speaker wire then theres a 1/2 chance I'll get the correct rca combo first try, but with 4 different speaker channels I'd have to try all 16 combinations on each of the possible 2 rca combinations. So 32 by my highschool math. Rather than taking apart the doors to find out which speakers go where. Which brings me to my next point, how am I even supposed to know which speaker is supposed to go to what channel when it's just 8 unmarked cables at point a and point B? Let me know if you need clarification on any of that mumbo jumbo. So far I have hooked up: Door speaker wires (8 wires ch 1-4) Ground cables (both grounded in the same spot and not on there too well since I guess one of the screws got lost.) Turn off cable to just the 4 channel amp (Plugged that into the REMOTE spot, that's correct isn't it?) Think that's it. It's cool to leave all the plugged in as long as I still have the power cables tapped off right? Or should I just plug the power cables up anyway. Only problem is that I dont have a turn off to the subwoofer amp. FYI i do know that i sound like an idiot, but whatever gets this thing fixed. And im learning a lot in the process. Thanks again man!
