[. . . ] Main speakers are connected normally to the left and right stereo outputs, and a center-channel or subwoofer speaker is connected in bridged mode. Refer to the diagram on page 21 in the "Speaker Connections" section for details. Speaker-Level Input Connections When speaker-level signal is used to drive the GTS100x, the signal goes into the amp through a special four-wire harness/connector (see the "Controls and Connectors" section, page 12). If extension wires are needed between the head unit output and the amplifier unit, use conventional speaker wire. Keep the wiring inside the passenger and trunk compartments and make the wires as short as possible. All connections should be securely crimped or soldered and insulated with heatshrink tubing. Use the color code of the input harness wires and the identification on the radio/tape deck output wires to be sure that left and right channels are correctly con- nected and the positive/negative polarity of each channel is connected correctly. For example, the left positive output of the head unit must be connected to the left positive input of the GTS100x. The color codes for the speaker level input harness are as follows: Speaker-Level Input Color Codes Left (+): White Left (­): White with Black Stripe Right (+): Gray Right (­): Gray with Black Stripe Simultaneous Speaker-Level and Line-Level Inputs In some systems it may be desirable to use both the speaker-level inputs and line-level inputs simultaneously. For instance, if you have a stock head unit in your car, you may connect the speaker-level inputs of the head unit to the GTS100x. You may simultaneously connect a CD player equipped with preamp volume control to the preamp-level inputs of the GTS100x. The Universal Interface circuitry of the GTS100x will isolate the inputs from each other while mixing both signals. Therefore, switching from one source to the other is as simple as turning the unused source off and turning the desired source on. No other switches or relay boxes are needed. When using this setup it is also possible, using the wiring setup shown at right, to allow either of the two sources to remotely turn on the amplifier. This is not necessary if the factory radio is of the high-power BTL type and is connected to the speaker-level inputs. The Common Sense turnon circuit will activate the GTS100x when a powered source is used, and the conventional remote connection of the preamplevel source will activate the amp when it is used.

Securely crimp or solder all connections and insulate them with heatshrink tubing. Use high-quality 18 gauge or larger speaker wire for the amplifier-to-speaker connections. Larger wire or special highperformance speaker cables may improve the performance of some systems. Be very careful when speaker wire is routed through a door hinge area to door-mounted speakers. Use grommets and strain reliefs wherever necessary to prevent damage to the wires. The proper speaker connection depends on whether the GTS100x is used bridged or stereo. The speakers are connected to the amplifier with the included wire harness. If you wish to purchase the raw connector to make a custom-length harness, the part number is listed in the Specifications section.
