How to connect speakers to the amplifier

Sooner or later, any car enthusiast begins to think how to improve the sound of his automotive radio. And, of course, decides to establish a separate amplifier and replace the speakers. Imagine that the amplifier and acoustics you have already bought and installed in the car. It remains to connect the speakers correctly.

1
Speakers are connected to the amplifier with specialized acoustic wires. A huge selection of these products is presented in stores selling radio-electronic components. Choose a cable with a cross section of at least 2.5 sq. Mm. Well done by Belden, Profigold, Daxx, Jamo cables. Magnificent in mounting Flat tape cables Nord Ost. When installing under carpet, absolutely not visible. At the price of the cable, try not to save - a cheap Chinese cable will bring to the sound "dirt" and can serve as a source of radio frequency interference.

If you have wideband columns installed, the connection is made with the following requirements. From the amplifier side, the acoustic cable connects to the Left terminals (left) and Right (right) access to speakers. Be sure to observe the polarity of the connection: the label live cable should be included in the terminal with the designation "+", and unmarked - in the terminal "-". From the side of the speakers, the connection is made on the LEFT and RIGHT column also with mandatory observance of polarity. If you have four columns (front and rear), it should be connected to the Front Left and Front Right terminals (front left and right) and Rear LEFT and REAR RIGHT.

If you have purchased the so-called "component" acoustics, then the inclusion scheme is slightly different. Each component acoustics section connects to its amplifier channel. Accordingly, to the LF and RF, the dynamics must be paved its cable. Turn on with mandatory observance of polarity, only two gain channels will already work on one column - on the left Front Left and Rear Left, on the right Front Right and Rear Right.

If you still have a passive subwoofer, you should connect it to the REAR LEFT and REAR RIGHT terminals (rear left and right). In this case, they are combined with a jumper to obtain the so-called "bridge" mode. The cable from the amplifier to the subwoofer stretches in one line.

5
When installing wiring, some basic rules should always be observed. Try to keep the strip by the shortest trajectory. In no case do not make cable runs under sharp corners, try to put it on the arc. Use rubber bushings if you have to stretch the cable through the holes in the car body metal. It will save him from overs and, accordingly, from a short circuit in your audio system.

We hope that these simple advice will allow you to significantly simplify the problems associated with the commutation of your automotive audio system. Let it delight you with the sound for many years. Good luck on the roads!
