Wiring Tsunami Super WAV Trigger (Qwiic) to Car Amplifier/Speakers

  1. Will the speakers and amplifier handle the audio file specifications, such as the frequency?
  2. With the PSU I will roughly have 6A left after other devices, will this be enough if the volume is turned up to max or would it destroy the components?
  3. Can the volume be adjusted with the gain control or level knob as I am not connecting it to a head unit?
  4. Should I use Low Input or High?
  5. Did I wire the devices correctly? I am not sure how to wire the amplifier & speakers to the Tsunami Super Wav Trigger, I left that wiring out, could someone advise?
  6. Should I wire the amplifier ground to the ground near the N and L terminals on the PSU to avoid noise? I will have a stepper motor, sensors and other devices on this same ground line so I think I shouldn't.
