Older Jensen amp, wiring questions
I want to put my amp and subs in my intrepid (since the firebird is in pieces), but I have a few wiring questions. I would like to use the OEM cd player for now, until I can afford a really nice head unit. Unfortunately it doesn't have line level inputs, so I have to use speaker level inputs. My amp has them, but they are two 6 pin molex connectors and I have no clue how to wire them up. I've had this amp in the firebird forever, and I have no idea where the connectors that came with the amp went. Does anyone know how I can wire these up, or am I just SOL? Also, what do you guys think of this amp? It will be running (2) pioneer 12" 400W subs. Should I wire them in series for 2 ohms? I am a little confused as to whether this amp is 2 ohm stable. Here's detailed info on it, and pics of the connector's I'm talking about:

Go to Jensen's website and look up the instruction booklet for the JXP-340/460/720 amps. They have a single 6-pin connection like the ones you are looking for. IIRC, of the two middle ones, the black one goes to ground and I dont know where the other goes (not using that connector). The two wires on either side of the middle are the + and - of the left and right speakers, not sure exactly which is which, but the one wire with the stripe out of each set is the positive wire IIRC... I'd post up a scan of the instruction booklet, but its packed away at the moment .
Oh, and I do believe you can get the connectors you need through the Jensen website.

Jensen's website seems to be down. It looks like they got bought out by audiovox. I'll probably end up having to use my aftermarket head unit, so I can use the preamp outs.
