Rinker 342 Stereo Wiring

Wildboating

I replaced the amp in my boat yesterday, during this process i collected and discovered some information i thought i would share for someone who tackles this process in the future.

First and foremost, i found that i was able drop my amp out through the hvac vent return below the bed and onto the floor allowing me to rewire for the new amp in a comfortable space.  There is no need to work upside down through the hatch opening below the mattress pad after dismounting the factory amp.


Here is the speaker color wiring code as observed in my boat.

Red - left arch positive

Black/red-left arch negative

Green- right arch positive

Black/green-right arch negative

Orange- left front speaker & rear speaker positive

Orange/black- left front speaker & rear speaker  negative

Blue- right front speaker/ rear speaker positive

Blue/black- right front speaker /rear speaker negative

White- sub positive

White/black- sub negative

Thanks! I've had a couple of static issues related to the gain adjustment on my amp. I've turned the gain down but I am thinking that if it keeps happening I may need a new amp. Good info to have!

I believe those colors are correct according to the schematic
