Connecting the ME-52 Power and Speakers:
1) The Black and Red power wires should be connected to the boat or
vehicle battery or main circuit breaker panel using heavy gauge wire 
(AWG #16 or lower). Black = GROUND, Red = +12VDC 
2) The Blue REMOTE wire turns on the amplifier. Connect this to the
remote trigger wire of your receiver, or if using the independent volume 
control, there is no need to connect the blue wire (amplifier power will 
turn on when volume knob is turned to on position). LED light (located 
on the other side of the amp) illuminates when ME52 is turned on. 
3) Connect the white and grey speaker wires to 1 or 2 pairs of speakers.
Pay close attention to polarity (black stripe = negative).
