i just wanted to confirm my knowledge since all of you in this forum are more knowledgable than me in this...

when wiring the amp..i know you are supposed to connect the power(positive) wire first. and then connect the ground(negative) after that.
when you connect the power, im thinking the wire shouldnt be live..but i wanted to confirm this
also when connecting the ground..should it already be grounded or should i ground it after connecting to the amp
and then hooking up the rest of the wires comes in no specific order right?

thanks for the help..

 

It really doesn't matter. You're not going to damage anything if you do it any certain way...

 

i have another question..

how can u adjust the impendance, ohms...i should run my sub at 2 ohms, said my friend..but i dont know how to do that..i just know to connect the wires n thats it
n i dont have an ohm meter so how can i check that

When you wire VCs , [speakers] together, you can do it in parallel or series, or if more then 2, but always even numbers, VCs a combination of both parallel and series, and how they are wired will determine the the final load, [impedance] or ohms that the amp sees, and must be taken into account when wiring speakers to an amp. 94

 

thanks....ill be installing it tomorrow though.........it started raining
