Yes and no. It's just a cheap amp that puts out a minimal amount of power. A lot of us don't even believe the output to be that considering how small of gauge wire it uses. It just wires in behind your deck. But it's a cheap temporary fix

It's a Class D with a 15 amp fuse, but I still do not believe it puts out a true 45 watts RMS x 4.

What would you use to connect wire to speakers? Solder or the wire connectors? I was thinking about solder

Solder and heatshrink is actually the best way.

To connect wires yes solder is the best way. But to connect speaker wire to the speakers? No use connectors. Unless I read that wrong

No you didn't read it wrong but you are wrong. A correctly done solder connection is the best. Always. But the female spade terminals are easiest and fastest and most often used.

That sounds like a good idea but also a terrible one lol leaves an open end for moisture and shit to get in.
