IGNAL CONNECTIONS

Connect the RCA output of the head unit (AM/FM cassette player, CD, or DAT) to the RCA 

input terminals of the amplifier.

To make these connections, we recommend high quality RCA cables, which are available 

at your local car audio retailer. Run signal wires away from electrical wires to avoid possibil-

ity of induced noise from the car’s electrical system (i.e. popping noises or engine noise).

S

PEAKER CONNECTIONS

IMPORTANT! The following speaker connection are for the amplifier in normal mono 

configuration. 

Make the speaker connections using speaker wire that is at least 16 gauge or heavier.

As with any audio component, proper phasing of the amplifier and speakers is essential for 

strong bass response. When connecting, make sure that positive (+) from the amplifier is 

connected to the positive (+) of the speaker, and the same for negative (-).

Please  note  that  although  the  SPA1000D,  SPA1300D  ,  SPA1600D  and  SPA1900D  are 

mono amplifiers, we have provided two sets of speaker terminals on the amplifier. These 

terminals are connected in paralleled internally (connected together). The second set of 

speaker terminals are intended for ease of connection when running multiple woofers.
