thanks all...

use either one left or one right connection...

^^ What he said...

hook up the speaker wire to where it says BTL in the first pic, this will bridge the rear channels to one channel, then hook up the rca's to the rear side (right set of inputs)

It's a four channel amp, but i think you can hook up the sub to the rear channel, and hook up your two rear speakers to the front channel (you'd have to run two sets of rca's from your deck, 1 for the sub and 1 for the rear signal).

ya its a 4/3/2 channel amp...
i knew it had sumthin to do with the bridge tied load thing...i remember learnin about that but i wasnt sure wat lol...
so if im just gonna wire it up for the sub only i just need to run that one rca singal back not two rite?

thats a sony xplod amp right?

from the diagram the BTL bridge (thats wut ull need to power ur sub) <- speaker wires from teh sub go here

and for the rca cables (note on the diagram the bridging is available on the rear channel only) plug them into the rear set of rca inputs only.

this configuration amp is very common, u bridge the rear channel to power a sub, and use the front channel to power a set of speakers (in some cases my buddies just splice the front channel and power both front nad rear speakers, but its obvoiusly not recommended)

also depending on if ur deck has a low pass filter ur goign to want to turn the low pass filter on that amp on.

good luck!

If all else fails....TRIAL AND ERROR..is the only way you learn

^^^^ i woudl usually agree but with an amp with trial and error u could end up blowing the thing.

yes, this is very true.. it's happened to me before.

you either blow your sub or blow your amp.

^^^^ haha me too...luckly it wasnt my own amp and sub so i din care lol...that poor bastard lol...thats y i thot id make sure before i do anythin...

but ye the low and high filters r turned on alredy...thot id try that out...wont do any harm if my deck doesnt support it...they jus wont be functionin...
but everythin u guys said makes alot of sence...im gonna go rite now and wire it all up...if u dont hear from me pleeeez pleeez alert the media :cool:

wish me luck all lol...and thanks to Infinity,Mike and Jimmy for all ur quick responces and help... :beer:
no thanks to u tho Amanda...lil punk tried to kill me or blow sumthin up :naughty: :p

**UPDATE**

well as u can see im still alive.. so nuttin blew up or shorted on me lol..
everything works mint actually...i warmed up the sub slowly and then cranked up the bass a lil and its all good and sounds nice... :yeah:

thanks again everyone for all ur help :beer:
