Connecting the ME-51 Power and Speakers: 

8)  The Black and Red power wires should be connected directly to the 

vehicle battery or main fuse block using heavy gauge wire (AWG #16 or 
lower).  Black = GROUND,  Red = + 

9)  The Blue REMOTE wire turns on the amplifier.  Connect this to the 

remote wire of your receiver, or connect to an on/off toggle switch or 
Accessory circuit. 

10) Connect the white and grey loudspeaker wires to Subwoofer side screw 

terminals.  Pay close attention to polarity. Connect black striped wire 
(negative) to the Black ringed terminal.  If one of the connections is 
reversed then the subwoofer will produce no output. 

11) When mounting the amplifier on a remote surface,  use the included 

connector pigtail harness.  When mounting directly on the Subwoofer,  
the wire ends can be cut, stripped, and connected directly to the gold 
screw contacts on the subwoofer.
