Awesome thank you!! Back to Amazon I go

Chananel 1 (Left)
Channel 2 (right)
Channel 3 (left)
Channel 4 (right)

So you need to get a splitter from your radio so that you have four outputs coming from that Front L/R RCA. Do the same with the rear outputs of your radio to the other amp.

Wire EACH speaker to it's one positive/negative on the amp.

Gain on 6.5 set at 11 o'clock, set it to HPF and turn the freq dial to around 100hz
Gain for the horns at 10 o'clock no need to adjust HPF
Gain for 6X9 at 12 oclock, set it to HPF and turn dial to around 70hz.

Turn your volume up until it distorts, then back your volume down an notch. That's your max volume.
This is awesome! Thank you for taking the time to write this up

Don’t forget to wire in the bass blockers for your horns.

Actually you won’t need the bass blockers if you wire the horns on their own channels.

What am I missing? Don’t the horns still need a hpf at 2500hz?
