How are the amplifiers turned on in this diagram?

A remote wire runs from the CD Player to the 'Remote' terminal on both Amp 1 and Amp 2, so the amps switch on with the head unit.

How are the RCA signal cables routed?

The RCA Left cable goes from the CD Player to the RCA IN of Amp 1, and the RCA Right cable goes from the CD Player to the RCA IN of Amp 2.

How are the subwoofers connected to the amps?

Each amp uses its 'Bridged' speaker output terminals: Amp 1 drives Sub Left and Amp 2 drives Sub Right.

Where do the amplifiers get power and ground?

Red power wires run from the battery's + terminal to both amps and the CD Player; the battery and each amp have their own chassis ground connections.

Does this diagram specify fuse sizes or wire gauges?

No. The diagram shows only wiring topology and labels; no fuse ratings, wire gauges, or part numbers are given.

This document is a simple schematic-style wiring diagram for a two-amplifier, dual-subwoofer car audio installation. It shows a battery (with + and - terminals and a chassis ground) supplying red power wires to a CD Player and to two amplifiers labeled Amp 1 and Amp 2. The CD Player's left RCA output (labeled 'RCA Left', drawn in blue) feeds the RCA IN of Amp 1, while the right RCA output ('RCA Right', drawn in magenta) feeds the RCA IN of Amp 2. A gray remote turn-on wire runs from the CD Player to the 'Remote' terminal of both amplifiers so they power on with the head unit. Each amplifier has its own ground connection and a 'Bridged' speaker output section with +/- terminals; Amp 1 drives a subwoofer labeled 'Sub Left' and Amp 2 drives 'Sub Right'. The diagram contains no fuse ratings, wire gauges, part numbers, or vehicle-specific information, it is a generic aftermarket amplifier/subwoofer hookup layout showing signal, power, ground, and remote wiring topology for bridging two mono-run amps to two subs.
