Hi all,
This speaker plate amp is currently only wired for 120vac operation, I have no instructions on what the primary wires are (on RHS, blue, orange, red and black).
MCM Audio Select, 50-6263 200 Watt Subwoofer Amplifier Module.
Manual for this plate amp is available here: https://www.hometheatershack.com/attachments/200w-mcm-sub-amp-owner-manual-pdf.34129/
Any ideas, or do I need to measure it?

Thanks Jon.
No labels on it unfortunately (unless it's on the base of the transformer - I'd need to remove it to find out). I could maybe use an ohmmeter - measure resistance on the two wires to each primary (should be low), but then how would I know the polarity (so I correctly tie 2 and 3 together).
Perhaps I just need to strip it out?

The problem you find is there so many standars for transformers.
A low voltage search is best after your best guess. I use a 12 voltage ac transformer in UK 24 ac is better.
Just disconnect from amp and hookup the low voltage to power side. At this point it is 10 to 1 from should be or just a hum

In the end I couldn’t easily do the conversion as the manufacturer had painted all of the connections (speaker side) with lacquer and I would have damaged the unit trying to release them. Very frustrating.
However I have a very good recommendation for mains transformer - Block AIM transformers. Completely silent in use. Can be found cheap off eBay. Don’t bother with any of the other Chinese rubbish of Amazon.
So no need to be put off running imported equipment anymore.
