Amplifier Connections

Speaker Connections

Connect speaker wires observing 

polarity. 

The minimum impedance 

load for the XPR520 is 2 ohms 

stereo and 4 ohms bridged. Use 

of loads lower than these is not 

recommended and may cause 

amplifier damage. The XPR520 
can be wired for stereo, bridged 
or stereo/bridged simultaneous 

operation.

Input Signal Connections

Low Level Input (RCA)

Low level (RCA) input signal is preferred for best performance. Typical trunk-mount 
amplifier installations require a 17-20 foot RCA cable. Most trucks and under-seat 
applications require a 6-9 foot RCA cable. Using twisted pair construction RCA cables will 

minimize noise.

High Level Input (Speaker Wire)

High level inputs should only 
be used when RCA outputs are 
not available from the head unit.

 

Connect the head unit speaker 
outputs to the high level input 
connector as shown below. The 
black wire (signal reference ground) 
may or may not require a connection 
to chassis ground - depending on 

your particular installation.

Subwoofer (mono)

Typical Bridged Wiring

(4 ohms minimum)

2 Speakers (stereo)

Typical Stereo Wiring

(2 ohms minimum)

HI-LEVEL INPUT CONNECTION

Grey = Right (+)
Grey/Black = Right (-)
Black = Ground
White/Black = Left (-)
White = Left (+)

CAUTION

 

Do not use both low and high level inputs at the same time - connect only one or the other.
