NOTE:
Be sure to follow specific instructions included with your amplifier installation 
kit (not included with this amplifier). The information below should be used as a 
general guideline only.

Power Wire (+12V)

•  Disconnect negative battery terminal before proceeding. Consult a qualified 

technician for instructions if you are unsure.

•  Plan wire routing before cutting any wires to length. Begin by routing the power 

+12V wire from the battery to the amplifier location. Use a grommet when running 
wires through the firewall or metal openings. Avoid running the power wire near 
existing vehicle wiring to prevent induced noise from entering the audio system.

•  Use extreme caution when drilling holes to avoid damaging fuel lines or existing 

vehicle wiring.  

•  The +12V wire MUST be fused within 18" of the battery for protection of the vehicle’s 

electrical system.

Ground Wire (GND)

•  The amplifier ground wire should be as short as possible. Choose a clean unpainted 

section of metal or the vehicle chassis when attaching the ground connection. Be 

sure to clean the area of any dirt or grease.

Remote Turn-on Wire (REM)

•  The remote turn-on wire connects to the head unit's amplifier turn-on lead or power 

antenna output.

Speaker Wires

•  Choose adequate gauge speaker wire depending on your exact amplifier/speaker 

combination. Be sure to observe polarity when connecting. 

•  Do not ground any speaker wires or connect any speaker wires together.

Input Signal 

•  The amplifier's input signal connects to the head unit's low level (RCA) or high level 

(speaker wire) outputs. 

•  Low level input signals deliver the best performance. If unavailable, use the high level 

inputs - when interfacing with factory head unit for instance.

CAUTION

 

• Do not use both low and high level inputs at the same time - connect only one or the  

 other.

 

•  Never run any wires underneath or outside the vehicle.
