Ok so i just installed a head unit 4 5 1/2" speakers and a 10" sub with a 350w 4 channel amp, i have the sub bridged with channel 1 and channel 2.. it works and sounds pretty good, but the amp connections confuse me a little, it looks like an old school amp, "Optimus" is the brand.
Problem is it has this for connections
sorry for the bad drawing, But at the moment i have the +12v power wire going from the battery and at the amp connection side i have the cable split in the middle connected to both of the amps +12v terminals so the cable splits to a Y at the amp, Same with the Ground it is y split at the end and attached to both the Negative terminals on the amp, Is this correct? or is it hooked up wrong?? can someone explain to me please?
This is how i have it at the moment
I am sorry if this is a stupid question, But i really am not familiar with car audio, and also, i soldered and heat shrink wrapped every connection, including the connections to the speakers, i assume this is a better way than using butt connectors or twist caps??
