Check out the "single input wiring connection" diagram on pg 14 of the owners manual.

Ch 1/2 switch set to HP. If you have a sub, Ch 3/4 set to LP.
Speakers are rated at 40Hz+, the low end of the HP filter on your amp starts at 50Hz, so the speakers will be happy no matter where the crossover **** is set. Adjust it to where you think it sounds the best.

hey guys.. i got some what of an issue....
when i tried to start my car after putting everything in.. the car wouldnt start.. i heard it hesiate and then clicks came in.. I disconnected everything i did and still won't start.. I didnt touch anything other than removing the old speakers and harness and old deck.
right now i have no stereo connected and the speakers disconnected.
any thoughts?

Most likely... the battery is dead from the interior lights being on for most of the day while you were doing the install.
Hook the radio back up, jump the car, and go enjoy your new stereo for a nice long drive while the battery recharges.
