Ok have everything almost done. Have head unit in, front and back spekers in and running to there own amp (alpine 300watts 4 channel)I have power running to amp thats for my sub. My question is that I see there are 4 holes for my speaker wires to go to, I only need 2 of these holes. I know that one ( +/-) are for one side of the amp and the other are for the other side. I am not sure but I know there is a way to get both sides working together on the amp by hooking one wire on one side and one wire on the other but how do you do it. Don't want to POP anything just spent all my money and cant afford to do this again. I also installed caps on the front speakers to stop bass going to them. i am told this is what you are supposed to do. Next thing is to learn how to set up my amps so everything sounds good. Can't wait to CRANK some Johnny Cash and some HIP!!!

Above the speaker outputs of the amp there should be a diagram that labels the + and for left and right. There will be a line connecting the + of one side to the - of the other side, but only if the amp is bridgeable. If the amp isn't bridgeable you cannot hook it to both sides, it will be one or the other.

Show me a picture of you amp outputs and you amp adjustments and I can tell you if and how you can set it up. (:

dont know how to do that but it is a MTX amp, 600 watts RMS and 1200 peak. on there web site. On for 199 now normal price is 299

Like Da67goatman said, you should see +-+-. You would have the positive lead from the left +, and the negative from far right -, if you run it bridged. Skip the middle 2 ports.

You must have one heck of a sub to handle 600 watts rms. Let me know how it lasts.
