There are a variety of options for connections and control on an amplifier. Understanding them is important when choosing one and during the installation process. The good news is that the majority of amps are set up essentially identical. The power connectors will be on one side, and the controls for audio and gain can be found on the second.
Connections to power
You'll need to use higher copper wires of greater gauge to connect your power cables. They're typically available in the wiring kit for it or you may buy them by yourself if bought an older amplifier that doesn't come with one.
Audio connections
To connect it to audio outputs and speakers, it is recommended to connect using RCA cables. Connectors for these cables are the opposite of the power connections. These connectors are for speakers. You can use them to connect to the amp in the event that you wanted to.
No RCA connections
The final inputs that you'll find on the majority of amps are speakers level inputs. Most pre-installed stereos do not have RCA connectors, which means you'll have to utilize inputs that are speaker level, also known as "high levels of inputs."
These connections will absorb the high voltage of the speaker wiring and transform it to a level that the amp is able to utilize. If for any reason, the speaker-level connections aren't available, you can utilize an adapter for your speaker instead.
