I'd like to thank N5IMS and Stateboy who generaously provided guidance here, I was able to hook up and try for the first time. Here is the result, I connected the Control head and and radio with the cable running from left of the handle where there was a DB25 connector to the back of the control head where the other end of the control cable clipped in position, another cable running from the PA unit to the other DB25 connector just below the handle of the radio, I also connected the control head and the DEK with the small connector cable (same connector at both ends), I run the power cable from the power supply to the radio just above the DB25 connector, and I also ran the red/black power cable from the PA control cable, lastly I connected the speaker cable to the speaker (the dual wires running from the PA control cable) and as I was trying to connect the second wire, after securing the first wire, to the terminal on the speaker connector, then i heard this loud noise almost as loud as a firecracker, I was scared big way but as nothing really happened except the noise, I tried switched the wires and attempted to connect for the second time, same thing happened when a strange loud noise, this was when I stopped and decided to get your inputs and further guidance.
I don't know what happened to my connection which caused the problem, and I certainly need further help on the right connection, many thanks again.
