Default Connecting second amp. Have a wiring question.

On the amp it has the following connectors:
source ground
power ground
on sensor
+12v

The on sensor connects to the remote input wire
The power ground connects to the frame
The 12 v connects to the distribution block

What do you connect to the "source ground?" I don't have this on my other amp.

I don't know. Traded some spare parts for it with a friend. Does not have a label/badge.

Weird. Source ground sounds like your signal ground. The only reason I would use that, is if you are using speaker (line-level) inputs. Then, I would use one of the (-) speaker wires on it. If you are using RCA's as your signal input, I would either leave it disconnected, or run a small jumper wire made from remote wire to it from your power ground.
