I have this old car amp that I don't know much about.
It is a Motorola PA-4000.
I want to hook it up and see if it will work without frying it.

There are two groups of wire, One group is Red, Blue & Black.

The other group is Long Black with an inline fuse, Medium length Black,
Two short Blacks, short Orange and a short Yellow.

On the side, there is a sticker that says "Speaker connections, Left
Channel Yellow Black, Right Channel Orange Black. See Owners Manual."

Typically, I would hook the red to + and the black from the first group
to Black, but what about the blue wire?

And why is the fuse on what looks like a ground wire?


It's probably already fried, otherwise wouldn't it be being used?

I've got a number of old car amps people have given me. They get upgraded
regularly by enthusiasts, ripped out of cars that were being sold or got
wrecked, or pulled out of cars that came with systems installed which the
new owner doesn't want. Just because it's out doesn't mean it's bad.
