Answer 1

You will need a power wire, ground wire, remote wire, rca cable and speakerwire. First disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, then the positive terminal. Next, take the your ground (make sure it's the same gauge as your power and make sure it's big enough) and connect it to the "ground" terminal on your amp. Take the other end and find a bare piece of metal you can bolt it down to. Make sure it's bare. next, you can take your power wire and run it from the positive terminal of your battery to the "power" or "12V" or "batt." terminal on your amp. Make sure your power wire has an inline fuse. Your amp now has power!

In order for your amp to turn on, you will need to connect a smaller remote wire to the back of your reciever. usually, it's a solid blue wire or a blue wire with a white strip. use pigtail (butt) connectors for a clean install. While you're behind your head unit, connect the RCA wires to the RCA output of your reciever, usually red and white. Run these two wires, on the OPPOSITE side of the power wire to the amp. make sure these do not cross with the power wire or you'll get some nasty noise. If you have to cross, cross them at a 90 degree angle (perpendicular).

When that's done, you can take speaker wires and connect them from your amp to your speakers. Use the low-pass filter for your sub and the "full" setting for your 6X9's. You can use 2 channels for the sub by wiring the positive of one channel and the negative of the other to the sub. Use individual channels for your 6X9's. Lastly, reconnect your battery, negative first, then positive.

Hope that helps!

PS. i would suggest getting two different amps (if you can afford it) one for the 6x9's and a mono for the sub.

Or get a bigger 4 channel amp. The other way (2 amps) will give you better sound.

Answer 2

If you have 2 filters on the amp, more pwr to ya. If it were me, I would run mid's and high's to the 6x9's (cutoff at say 550hz or whatever) and the other 2 channels with the LPF set at 60 HZ (usually). If you have only 1 sub this is fine I would bridge those two channels as specified on you amp (it should say on the terminals which ones to bridge). U should get some decent bass but listen to the one guy do ground your amp with thick cable maybe thicker than your pwr cable to decrease resistance to your amp resistance = heat!

Well i cant give you any detailed instructions, but i would like to tell you something. The configuration that you are planning on setting up is a big load. That ok ....but make sure that you ground your amp very very well or at high volume and some time will burn your amp....
