MOUNTING AND WIRING
7
MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIERS:
Choose a convenient mounting location with unobstructed airflow.
The Flash amplifiers feature four mounting tabs located at the amplifiers four corners.
Using the supplied screws and grommets, gently mount the amplifier in to position.
***
Do not over tighten the screws.

BATTERY
The Flash Series amplifiers are supplied with built-in fuses, never replace the fuse that the amp
came with, with one of a larger value.
We suggest you construct a Red wiring harness with 2 additional fuses. One fuse should be
located near the car battery. This fuse near the battery offers protection against damage from
short circuits to the car chassis between the battery and the amplifier. A second fuse closer to
the amplifier offers additional safety to the amplifier itself. This fused red power wire should be
attached to the amplifier power terminal marked
12V+
.
The wire harness should be made of red primary cable of at least 8 gauge for the F200-2 and at
least 4 gauge for all other larger models. The harness should terminate in a large ring terminal for
connection directly to the positive terminal of the car battery. Use a spade plug to attach the wire,
which connects to the amplifier location marked
12V+
.
A second black color wire of equal gauge should be used as a ground connection to a welded
chassis member. When connecting the ground wire make sure that there is no paint or other
insulator blocking a good ground connection. When installing multiple amplifiers, mount them
in close proximity so that they can all share the same ground point. Attach the black ground wire
to the amplifier screw terminal marked
Ground
.
We recommend that you use the Cadence AMPKIT4 or AMPKIT8 amplifier installation kits, which
contains all the cabling and accessories necessary for a good, reliable installation.
