[QUOTE="Nicoter0, post: 8136738, member: 656068"] on the amp, there is a switch to set it at 2 or 4 ohm. 4 ohm results in 75 watts a channel, but as my speakers are only rated 2 ohms thats what its turned to. As far as how they are wired.. im a little shaky on the terminology, but i mean the outputs from the radio are plugged into the terminals one by one (pairs being front left neg/pos, front right neg/pos, rr neg/pos, rl neg/pos) the speaker wire output is a connector that plugged into the amp that came with the amp, which is then (im pretty sure he spliced) spliced into the inputs for the actual speakers. sorry if that was confusing. essentially it goes radio to amp in pairs (8 wires 8 terminals) then amp to speakers all out one plug that goes directly into the opposite side of the amp, where the gain and switches for whatever other things are and ill talk to him tomorrow about upgrading the wiring gauge if he thinks that might be the major issue, payday is friday so itd have to wait until then :p EDIT: thanks to NIHL8ION for pointing out that it isnt a switch to switch the impedance load. Im just that kinda rookie lol :p yeah so disregard the aforementioned if you could [/QUOTE]
