Default 2 ch amp help

so I have my amp all hooked up. All of the wires are in the correct spots, It is getting power and such. I just need help on the last thing. The speaker cable part.
There are plug ins for INPUT L(-) R(+) OUTPUT L(-) R(+)
I tried a couple different combinations, but after it made a loud "ERRRRRR" noise I decided to ask for help. So where do the 2 wires plug in to?

I'm assuming you're wanting to bridge the 2 channels into a single channel running a single voice coil 4 ohm sub thats RMS rating is matched to your amps * x 1@2ohm rating. Am I correct?
If that's the case, run 1 wire from the left + output slot to the + side of your sub. Then run the other wire from the right - output to the - side of your sub.

The inputs are for if you are not using RCA cables and have to tap into a speaker wire to get the signal.

I really dont know much about amps. I just know I had a crappy 2 channel amp hooked up to my bridged subs, and I wanted to just change the amp with a better one that I got. The kit was already installed, I was just changing the wires over to a new amp

oh, my bad, i thought u ment the input rca's, if u are hooking up the sub, and it is bridged, it is most lilkly 2 4 ohm speakes in parralle, so a 2 ohm load, and u want it bridged, here is the tough part, it will depend on what amp you have, weather u hook it up left pos and right neg, or left neg and right pos, if u give me the name and model, i could prbably find the right wireing.

Don't bother trying to understand ^ that post. It makes no sense and is wrong.

Probably should have done some research before you bought random stereo parts...

Please list the make/model, and number of the sub(s) as well as the make/model of your amp. We'll try to make this work as well as possible.

I got one stereo part and it was free

I have 2 10' Blaupunkt subs in a box (dont know the model)
The amp is a Pioneer GM-X542

scroll down and u should see a mono hook up, ignore the wires from the top, and just connect the sub wires like the pic
