The Volfenhag ZX-7160 amplifier's high-level (hi input) wiring typically involves connecting it to your vehicle's factory or aftermarket head unit speakers. However, specific pin diagrams for the high-level inputs can vary, and since adequate information for Volfenhag amplifiers can be sparse, I recommend using the following general guidelines for high-level input connections.

### General High-Level Input Wiring Instructions:
1. **Identify Speaker Wires**: Locate the speaker wires from your head unit. Most factory setups will have the following colored wires:
- **Front Left (+)**: Usually a green wire
- **Front Left (-)**: Usually a green with a black stripe
- **Front Right (+)**: Usually a gray wire
- **Front Right (-)**: Usually a gray with a black stripe
- **Rear Left (+)**: Usually a purple wire
- **Rear Left (-)**: Usually a purple with a black stripe
- **Rear Right (+)**: Usually a white wire
- **Rear Right (-)**: Usually a white with a black stripe

2. **Connect Wires to the Amp**: Connect the speaker wires to the appropriate pins on the high-level input connectors. Here’s a general guide on how to connect the wires:
- Connect the positive and negative wires from your front left speaker to one of the 6-pin connectors (typically pins 1 and 2).
- Connect the positive and negative wires from your front right speaker to the next available pins (typically pins 3 and 4).
- Depending on the amp's design, if it allows, you can connect the rear speakers similarly or mix in the rear wires as well.

3. **Grounding**: Ensure to provide a proper ground for the amplifier, ideally using a dedicated ground wire connected to the vehicle chassis.

4. **Power Connection**: Don’t forget to also connect the amplifier to power, including battery positive and remote turn-on wires.

### Important Notes:
- Always refer to the specific manual for the amplifier if available. Often these can be poor resources, especially for less common brands.
- If pin numbers or wiring colors differ, using a multimeter to test the continuity of the wire can help determine which wire is which.
- Make sure to wire it correctly to avoid damaging your amplifier or speakers.

If you need more specific assistance, I recommend reaching out to car audio forums where enthusiasts can provide insights from personal experience, or consider contacting Volfenhag’s customer support if they are available.

This could be challenging to find the true pinout of the connector. Opening the cover and looking at the board to see if it’s printed next to the connector “may” be something to try, but this is a very small chance of being the case and possibly a waste of time, but a small possibility.

If they installed the connector with any logical thought, the pins could match up to the orientation of the RCA connectors, meaning the pins on the Left are one of the channels Channel -1 for example, and the pins on the Right side are Channel 2, same for the other channels. That said, there is a small chance this is the case as well.

If you can find any Volfenhag amp manual online, maybe get lucky and it shows the pinout of the same type of connector, perhaps worth a bit of searching.

Other option is to get a Line Out Converter and use the RCA inputs. The smaller Kicker LOC’s seemed to perform better than other cheap ones when I seen testing videos a few years back. The Volfenhag amp is not very valuable so not sure what makes sense as far as spending money on expensive LOC’s for 4 channels when you can buy a newer probably better amp for not much more.
