Hi everyone, this will be my first amp installation and I don't know what Im doing but with some help I think I can manage. All I want to do is to install an amp, will use original speakers for now. I just got an Alpine MRP-F240, I think is ok for what I want.
OK, Please correct me if am wrong since Im not sure of that Im doing. I figure out that the amp needs 3 thing to work 1. Power from battery, 2. Ground from the frame of the car and 3. A remote cable coming from the radio.
Question, where can I find the remote cable and what color is it? It will be nice If I don't have to take off the radio.
Next, I think I need to input the speakers wires from the radio to the amp and from the amp to the speakers.
Question, in the speakers input (amp) I have white, grey, green and purple. What are they? What is LF, LR RF and RR?
and how do I know the positive and negative coming out of the radio and is there a way I can get the speaker wires with out taking out the radio?
Do I need to use new wires from the amp to the speaker? Can I just use the existing wire that goes now to the speakers?
I have a ch1/2 filter position { off, hp, lp } what is that for? and for ch3/4 same filter positions and Bass EQ { 0db to +12db}??
I know this may be simple for some of you but Im just trying to learn, and if there is any thing I should do just let me know, Thanks...
