If you intend to install the amplifier yourself, please read owners' manual very carefully.
Before you start the installation, please take all the necessary steps into consideration.
If in doubt, please contact an authorized dealer or call Crescendo Audio direct.
Preparation
Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before mounting or making any connections.
Check the battery and alternator ground (-) connections. Make sure they are properly connected
and free of corrosion. Before selecting a mounting location for the amplifiers, please take cooling and
safety into consideration.
Avoid areas
with excessive vibration !
The amplifiers have been designed with a good heat dissipation heatsink.
In order to avoid excessive heat from the amplifier, it is recommended to find a mounting location
that allows for vertical positioning of the heatsink fins.
For safety purposes, install the amplifier in a dry and well ventilated location and make sure no cables or
other harnesses in the car interfere with the mounting location.

* Choose a flat, well-ventilated place to install amplifier.
* Fix the amplifier using included Rubber Cushions as shown the illustration.
+12V(B+), GND, REM CONNECTION
+12V / B+ (POWER CONNECTION)
Before mounting the amplifiers, disconnect the negative (-) wire from the battery to protect any accidental
damage to the amplifiers or the audio systems. The amplifiers are equipped with 0 AWG and ground
terminals. Connect the power cables to power terminal labeled as + 12V.
Some of the amplifiers are not equipped with fuses, so external fuses are required.
Connect one end of the fuse holder to the power cable and the other end of the fuse holder to the
positive battery terminal within 18" of the battery.
This fuse location will protect the system and the vehicle against the possibility of a short circuit
in the power cable.
Make sure that the fuses and the fuse holder are adequate for the desired application.
GND (GROUND CONNECTION)
Locate a secure grounding connection as close as possible to the amplifier.
Make sure the location is clean and provides a direct electrical connection to the chassis of the vehicle.
Connect one end of an equal sized cable as the positive cable to the location of ground.
It is important that the ground cable is as short as possible, but no longer than 3 foot.
Run one end of the cable to the grounding point. Run the other end of the cable to the mounting location.
Connect the ground cable to the terminal labeled as GND.
REM (REMOTE CONNECTION)
Run a remote turn on wire from the vehicles head unit.
Connect the remote turn on wire to the power terminal labeled as REM
