AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS
Refer to Figure 1 for details.
1.
GROUND TERMINAL
- connect this
terminal to the car chassis with a
short heavy gauge wire, DO NOT
CONNECT TO THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL
OF THE CAR BATTERY or to factory
chassis ground points already occu-
pied by factory wires! Make sure
your chassis connection is secure by
removing any paint at the ground
point, and using a crimped, soldered
terminal at both ends of the wire.
2.
REMOTE TERMINAL
- connect this
terminal to the amplifier remote
output from your head unit or signal
source, if it provides one. You may
also use the power antenna output
wire from decks that do not have
separate amp remote outputs. Do
not connect this terminal to a
constant source of +12V.
3.
+12V POWER TERMINAL
- connect
this terminal to the positive terminal
of the car or separate audio system
battery. YOU MUST PROTECT THIS
WIRE WITH A FUSE or circuit breaker
located close to the battery.
4.
POWER FUSE
- protects the amplifier
against electrical damage. DO NOT
REPLACE THE FUSE WITH LARGER
AMPERAGE FUSES!
5.
POWER/PROTECTION LED’S
- the
green Power LED lights to indicate
normal operation. The red Protection
LED lights to indicate amp shutdown
due to thermal, short circuit, DC
offset, or over-current conditions.
6.
SUBWOOFER OUTPUT TERMINALS
connect the subwoofers to these
terminals. The terminals are paral-
leled internally, but two sets are
provided for
convenience in
connecting multiple subwoofers.
