How to hookup 100.4 Amp to components and sub?

[travanx 0]

The Sundown 100.4 amp has been sitting in my garage for a few years now. I bought this when they were first released as I think the knobs have changed over time? I can't remember how to setup this amp on my current car. I have components up front and a sub in the trunk. How do I wire this to the amp correctly? Specifically which RCA and Speaker wires go into which terminals?

Also how do I go about starting out to tune the system with this setup?

This is in an S2000 so no rears.

Where in the manual does it show how to properly hook 2 speakers and a sub up to their 4 channel amp? I feel like I have looked through that so many times but don't understand what to do.

What's confusing about this? Put the comps on chanels 1 and 2, and the comp RCAs into the top 2 inputs on the amp (i believe), if you don't get output put them in the others. Then wire the sub to chanels 3 and 4 and put the sub RCAs in the left over amp inputs.

Shouldn't have to tune your comps much, other that which slope setting you want if your x-overs have that option. Set the filters on the amp to send all the signals to the xovers and let them do the work. Turn your gain up until you're happy with the output (with your deck at max listening volume) or you hear some distortion.

Set the sub's gain the same way as the comps, but have your SSF ~3 hz lower than your box tuning. Have the LPF anywhere from 60-100, it's a personal preferance.

Nice car

Thank you. Turns out I had the RCA's wired to the wrong channels. It seems to be very simple things that always get me lately.
