well,i ended up trading my coppy of gta:sanandreas for an orion 2150 sx,now i have a question on the wiring...remote,+ and - are obvious,my question is on the speaker leads...whic is +,and which is-...i'm assuming that the solid colored wires are the + and the black with the colored stripes are -,is this right,i hope so,this is how i have it wired...also,i'm assuming the peak light is like a clipping light,well,i have the gain all the way down and it still flashes a little bit,is this beacause my hu is 8volt...it's realy agravating,because i can turn the gain up and get the output i want,but the peak light flashes like crazy,would this change if i wired my subs to a 4ohm mono load instead of 2ohms stereo,and should i use the eq botton on the amp or not...i'm also assuming that when you bridge this amp that it is like most old school amps,left+ and right -?...anyways,any help would be great

the amplifier came out when 4 volt pre-outs were the highest voltages you saw.. so they are only designed for up to a 4V input. that's why it's still blinking at peak even at minimum gain.

I've got a manual for that amplifier with the color codes etc as PDF I could send.
gimme an email address

email is [email][email protected][/email] what do i do,i mean,the only amps i've even seen that accept more than a 4 volt input are the zapcos with the balanced syblink cables,should i get a different hu?and is it better to run the orion at 2 ohms stereo or 4 ohm mono,i'd rather take your word than anyone elses as you are the orion authority around here,in fact you seem to know more about orion than anybody i've ever talked to,i am extremely greatful for the help...i think i did pretty good for a play station game that will probably be down to $20 in a year,also,do you have any recomendations for subs to go with this amp that will give me good output and decent sq,i've about had it with my eD's...thanks

Generally the ground wire is a solid wire.

actually, they've pulled sanandraes from the shelves of a lot of stores recently due to widespread complaints about the content. the game may go up in value.. hehe

I'll dig the file out and send it to you later.
got company over right now from out of town

Most of your amps now will except 5 volts plus. I know JL, Eclipse, Xtant, Alpine, Zapco and many of your other top brands will handle up to 8 volts.
