Question
im integrating my two mach 460 amps to work in an infinity j30, im previously solve the bose amp problem with my new speaker hook up in the infiniti, and now my front speakers will be louader then my back cause the front is all amplified and the back is not. anyways my question is. i have the amp by itself with all the wires spliced, i know the sound input and output wires from the rest, but power wise i am uncertain, there are three power wires if im correct. they are red/black, green/black, and the other one i guess is grey/red or grey/orange. i could really use help on this, i know these amps are not the best, but they will do for now until i have money to afford better.

Answer
The 3 power wires are for ground, 12v battery and 12v remote turn on.

For wiring of the mach 460s just go to google and enter into the google search window:   mach 460 wiring diagram

and it will come up at the top with all the wiring diagrams you will need.

Good Luck,
C

PS: You can easily check the wires from the J30 with a VOM which will measure voltage and ohms.  Buy one at Walmart or Home Depot for under $10.
