    assuming that your reciever has preouts to all 5 channels, L,R,C,SR,SL. Run an interconnect cable from each preout to the corresponding channel on the amp. Then connect the speaker cables from the amp to the corresponding speaker.

    It is my experience that most audio gear has a VERY low WAF. About the same as strip clubs.
