E53 NEED HELP W/NON DSP SUB AMP WIRE COLORS

[deanvh]

I have read on this site, 2 different ways to connect my right sub woofer. I have an E53 non dsp / non nav. The standard amp by Alpine. I want to connect to new sub amp for a right subwoofer.
Is it the black/blue+ and the brn/orng- that i connect to my sub or is it the thicker solid blue#25 and brown #24 that i connect to. Also I am using the Level Input connection to the sub amp. If that matters. Any one have the answer? Thanks Deanvh

Blue w/Black Stripe (+) Brown w/Orange Stripe (-) for L speaker input

Yellow w/Black Stripe (+) Brown w/Orange Stripe (-) for R speaker input

Thanks for the speedy reply. Isn't the yellow w/black (+) , Brown w/ornge(-) for the LEFT side? (from the drivers point of view). And, if I am connecting directly to the high level speaker inputs on the sub amp? I'm NOT using a Line Output Converter. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, my mistake. Yellow/Black is for the left side. In the case of adding a subwoofer though, it doesn't really matter since you're just tapping into those wires for a signal.

Your amp's level input connection does a similar job as a line output converter would. Its taking high level input and converting it into a signal in which the amp can use. So either way you choose, you'll use those wires to tap into.

Hey Charlie , One more question, Will my "balance" and "fader" controls have any effect on by subwoofer? (right side only) THANKS!

Yes, it will.
