When using 16 gauge or larger, run the speaker wires from the amplifier location
through the vehicle to the speakers. Observe the same precautions for routing
these wires that you followed for running the power and remote turn-on wires. Cut
o ff excess and, using wire strippers, strip 1/4 inch of insulation. Locate the
speaker/remote turn-on PowerLock connector. Loosen the outer screws on the
underside of the connector. Insert the speaker leads into the end. Check to be
sure you've maintained proper polarity before securing each wire, and plug the
PowerLock into the amplifier.
For the rear channels, locate the four terminal speaker PowerLock connector.
(For PCX 5800, the front channel also uses a four terminal P o w e rL o c k c o n n e c t o r. )
On 4 and 5 channel P C X Amplifiers,all speaker P o w e rL o c k s plug into the amplifier
with the screws facing up. Loosen the screws on the top of the blocks and insert
the stripped ends of the speaker wires into the end. Double check polarity, secure
each wire by tightening the screws, and lug the PowerLock connector into the
amplifier with the screws on top.
