PEAKER CONNECTIONS

 

(SPA90.2 , SPA90.4 , SPA150.4)

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 (-).

***

CAUTION!

 In the bridged mode, the amplifier must see a 4 Ohm load or higher. Any 

lower than 4 ohms will cause the amplifier to overheat and possible cause permanent 

damage to the amplifier!

Before connecting the remote, it will be necessary to find a mounting location that will be 

easy to access for adjustment. Once you select your mounting location, you will need to run 

the control wire from the remote to the amplifier. To avoid possibility of induced noise from 

the car’s electrical system (i.e. popping noises or engine noise), run the cable from the 

remote to the amplifier away from the car’s electrical wiring.
