Default High Level Input wiring?

SS PN4.520D AMP.
Looking at the pic below, the + & - don't match between the printing on the back of the amp and plug wires that go in them. Which do I go by?

Bertk, IIRC someone had this same question a little while back and the answer was to always go with what's printed on the amp.

Thanks for the quick response. That makes sense, I don't want to wire it the wrong way and have to redo it.

Just got this from UN to confirm it.

go with what's on the amp.

Front from left to right should be +-g-+. ignore the g and tape that wire off

Rear from left to right should be +-g-+ as well. ignore the g and tape that wire off

When I still had the stock head unit, I went with the amp, worked fine.

Guessing he's sticking with the stock head unit. That's what I did initially

I had the same PN4.520D behind the stock head unit. NutZ convinced me to try an aftermarket radio (Sony) and it really made a huge difference sound wise. The amp killed FM, but the bluetooth built into the radio makes that a non issue. The USB port is handy for charging your phone too. Do you listen to FM?
