I have an Alpine 3311 Eq, a 3512 amp and a 3518 amp. I do not have the owners manual which tells me what output wire from the amps are left hot, left ground, right hot, right ground. Also, I will not be using an Alpine head unit so I would like to know when I cut off the 8 pin plug to the input of the Eq. which wire will be left hot/ground, right hot/ground and what color wires will be the 12V input for the Eq. Thanks for your help. Rob

manualslib.com is a 100% free online manual for any manual needed and if you want to buy there is that option to or simply just print out the pages if you have that much ink..but just an option...Hope this helps...

You can try pacparts.com. I think the part number may be 01T69023F02.

The "Front output" from the Pioneer deck would connect to the "Main In" on the Clarion EQ. I'm assuming that your Clarion EQ can only deal with one input, and will send the adjusted (equalized) signal out both of the outputs.
The "Front output" from the Clarion EQ should go to the "Front Input" on the 4 channel amp.
The "Rear output" from the Clarion EQ should go to the "Rear Input" on the 4 channel amp.
The "Sub output" from the Pioneer deck would connect to the Left/Right Input on the Epicenter. The Left/Right Output on the Epicenter would need a Y-splitter for each side, so that you could connect each amp separately. One suggestion would be to use one sub amp for both subs.

The unit comes with 3 rca audio outputs, 1 composite video/audio output & 1 Toslink digital audio output so i would have to say the answer is YES.

Hello, here is Clarions wire codes.
FRONT Right SPKR: +Gray -Gray/Blk,
FRONT Left SPKR: +White -White/Blk,
REAR Right SPKR: +Purple -Purple/Blk,
REAR Left SPKR: +Green -Green/Blk

Brown Wire = Phone Mute Lead (If applicable)
Yellow Wire = 12V battery lead in (Connect directly to battery)
Red Wire = 12V Ignition wire (Connect to Acc switch)
Blue/White Wire = Amp turn on lead
Black Wire = Chassis Ground
Orange/White Wire = Illumination Lead (Connect to dimmer switch)
Blue Wire = Auto Antenna Lead (lowers power antenna Do not use for Amp Turn on! Use the Blue/White Wire for Amp,EQ, Ect.. turn on wire only

RCA Connectors if applicable:

Black RCA Harness:
White RCA = Rear Audio Left Sub Output 1
Red RCA = Rear Audio Right Sub Output 2

Gray RCA Harness:
White RCA = Front Left Audio Out to amp
Red RCA = Front Right Audio Out to amp

An EQ (equalizer) is generally connected between the low level output of a device (phono, CD, DVD, etc.,) and the amplifier's input. If you choose to place the EQ at this point, only the device connected will be equalized. All the other sources will be unaltered.

A more complete way is as follows:

Some amplifiers have a jacks labeled Left & Right "PRE OUT" and Left & Right "AMP IN" with a heavy gauge wire or strap that connects the left AMP IN & left PRE OUT together; and the right AMP IN and right PRE OUT together. Removal of the wire or strap will cause the amp to fall silent, as the low level signal no longer has a path from the PRE OUT to the AMP IN jacks. If you were to insert the EQ here, the path would be restored - but allowing you to boost or cut the level of certain frequencies BEFORE they are amplified. This is accomplished by connecting PRE OUT to EQ IN and EQ OUT to AMP IN for both the left and right channels.

As I mentioned, only some amps have these PRE OUT and AMP IN jacks - many however do not. In this case, you may be able to use the TAPE MON jacks. The TAPE MON is the Tape Monitor and appears on most "half-way decent" receivers. These jacks were provided to enable listening to a tape in nearly "real time" as it was being recorded on higher end "3 head" tape recorders. If you don't have a "3 head" tape deck (most do not), you can use these jacks the same as the PRE OUT and AMP IN jacks above. This is accomplished by connecting the TAPE OUT to EQ IN and the EQ OUT to the TAPE IN for both the left and right jacks. You would then select the source of the music - be it CD, Phono, etc. and with the EQ powered, pressing the TAPE MON button on the receiver, you could hear the difference between the EQ in the circuit and the EQ out of the circuit.

The key in the examples above is that there is always an input connected to an output. Don't connect inputs to inputs and outputs to outputs. Take your time and work one cable at a time - one end to an input and the other to the corresponding output.

Some situations may arise if using Dolby Digital, THX, etc. type input signals. Sometimes it is not possible to equalize them. If you have sources (DVD, Satellite Receivers, etc.) that have an optical or coaxial connection, those will be the ones that may have undesired affects. The familiar RCA type jacks for left and right signals should work perfectly.

I'll see if I can find a link with a picture...

amp output goes to eq input
eq output goes to amp input
WHEN USING TAPE MONITOR on amp you run record from amp to input on eq and
output from eq to play on amp

USE THE FOR CH RUN ALL THE SPEAKER THE MEANS TWO RCA ONE FOR FRONT AND ONE FOR REAR INTO THE AMP AND NON-FADE REAR-FOR YOUR SUB --POWER FOR EQ--[POWER 'REMOTE AND GROUND]

IS THE OUTS ON RADIO TO AMP A SUB WOOFER OUTPUT OR A REAR OUTPUT? IF YOU CANT PLAY IN MONO (IT WOULD BE A SWITHCH ON AMP}.i WOULD RECOMEND GETTIN A EQ WITH A SUB OUT . I ALWAYS WENT WITH ALPINE.THEY MAKE A GOOD EQ,ITS A MUST FOR A GOOD SOUNDING SYSTEM

To EQ all audio sources you'll need to have a receiver/amp with either a tape monitor loop or a pre amp-in/main-out loop. Look for a button on the front labelled 'Tape Mon' or ins and outs on the back labelled pre amp-out/main-in. If you have these you can connect the outs from the amp to the ins on your EQ and then EQ outs go back into the amps ins. If you have a tape deck as well, the EQ's 'tape mon' jacks replace the ones it takes up on the amp, so just plug your tape deck in here.

Just remember that whether you have a tape deck or not, if you hang an EQ off the 'tape mon' loop you'll have to engage the 'tape mon' button/switch for playback with EQ.

If your amp doesn't have these loops you can still use EQ but you may be restriced to one audio component source. So say you wanted to EQ the playback from your CD player, you'd just connect the CD players output into the EQs input, then connect the EQ's output into the amplifiers input (for CD player). Then everything you play through the CD player will be EQ'd.
