Max, I have read that thread before, and found it useful, but it doesn't really delve into the issue of running 4 channels to the amp.

I now know the wires for positive and negative left front, and positive and negative right front. If I trace them to the amp, and find where they split into two wires, that's a start because it tells me which 4 pins on the amp are rights and which 4 pins are lefts. It even tells me which two are positives and which two are negatives of those four...but how do I keep from hooking a front positive to a rear negative while trying to figure out which is front and rear? Am I going to need a continuity tester? I'm hardly an electrician, so I'm not sure I'd even know how to use one. haha.

Maybe I can just disconnect all wires from the amp, and connect one front positive and negative pair to two pins at a time until the front speakers come on.
