I just bought a Clarion amp APA450 (4Channels) but i don't know if is going to work with my speakers. Vehicle : Corolla 2000 Main unit Clarion VRX745VD Front Speakers: Blaupunkt TSC 650 (60W RMS) 180 W Peak...Rear Speakers: Blaupunkt TSC 660 (60W RMS) 180 W Peak... both 4 ohms. I'm not sure how to wire them to my new amp. for now I'm not going to install a Subwoofer (I will installed later but with a dedicated amp). So please any ideas how to wire this amp to my components??? Thanks Installing Clarion Amp APA450 -- posted image.

You can either run wire from your amp directly to the speakers, or you can run wire from your amp back behind your radio, and connect to the factory speaker wires.

Any generic speaker wire will work. You can pick some up at a stereo shop, but WalMart has some decent wire that will probably be cheaper than most places. I usually connect them behind the radio. Just disconnect the speaker wires from the radio, and tape them off so they don't touch anything. You will connect one speaker to each amplifier channel (left front wires from amp to left front wires behind radio, etc.).
