i was hoping someone out  here could help me with the speaker output and remote turn-on pin out of an old (1993-1996) Earthquake of San Francisco amplifier.

these are the colors coming from the board:

brown: ?

white:?

violet:?

red:?

orange: ? ( i think that this one is the remote turn-on)

model# PA 2050  (Hohmann Series)

2x50w rms, 2ohm stable

pulse width modulated mosfet power supply

what i need to know are the polarity's and the bridged application. all info would greatly be appreciated.

thanks in advance.      d8^)_

Red is one bridge wire and brown is the other.  Red +  and brown -

FYI on this and any other multi channel, bridgeable amplifier, you can find the bridge wires with an OHM meter.   There will be 2 wires that are connected together.  0.X OHMS.  These 2 wires are NOT the bridge wires.  The other 2 are.

that's great to know. i found two wires that tested for continuity from the speaker lead to the transformer on the board. do you know what that is all about?

Yes the 2 non bridge wires are connected to the center tap of the secondary of the transformer.  This is the ground reference for the amplifier section.  The shield of the RCA cables should also be connected to the same point.  Maybe via a 10 to 100 ohm resistor.
