I have my amp ready to wire, and I could use some help, as I have never done this before.
1: How do I know which pin is which on the amp modules... I looked and I do not see any numbering, nor did I see any in the pdf file either. I am using Ghent Audio wiring for the job.
2: What is the best way to route wires? Under the amp modules?
3: Should I twist the wires in groups according to amp modules...ie left hf amp, and left lf amp together?
4: Should all the power leads be run together?
5: On the BTL amps it says to drop the pin to signal ground. What is meant by signal ground?
6: Do I ground the amp modules with a central grounding point or are the brass standoffs sufficient for grounding?

This is how I am running the power lines to the switch...is this ok? Is it ok to wire tie multiple power lines together..if so can I or should I also tie the power lines from the switch to the amp modules too? Where do I run the ground wire from the Power con too...Do I run it to the case? Do I run all 3 Powercon grounds to the same spot?

Is this the correct place and wire for BTL operation? I have ran the pin 1 wire to the mounting screw post, but not cut it until I am sure that is the correct place... pic #1
I also ran the wires for the speaker output using pin 1 and 2. How do I know which is supposed to be the + and which is supposed to be the negative when I run 2 positives? Also do I just clip the black speaker wires since this is a BLT only setup? pic 2

the btl pin is tied to the ground wires it is pin 1
see page 6 off the Ice power
the icepower has an 8 marked at the signal jumper

Today I cleaned up the wiring some...hopefully it looks better and will not cause any problems.
Questions:
What do I do about the grounds for all of the amp modules... I am thinking the standoff are good?
What about the grounds for the Speakons...run all 3 together, and ground to the screw that holds the feet on?
For the XLRs...I run pin 5 and 8 to a XLR? Do I run both pin 6, and 7 to the 3rd pin on the XLR?

On the ASX250BTL amp do the source pins 1,2, and 3 get clipped? I see they are for amp enable, thermal, and monitor overload?
I have it up and running, and it sounds great! I am assuming the wires I posted above can be. Ut off since they were not needed, correct?
I cut off the unused wires and everything is running fine. The amps run cool,and sound great.
Next I will be installing some 24v to 12 volt boxes , so I can install the LEDs.
