3)

    Trim the power cable within 18 inches (45.7mm) of the positive battery 

post and splice in a in-line fuse holder. DO NOT install the fuse at this 

time.

4)

    Strip 1/2 inch (12.7mm) from the battery end of the power cable and 

crimp a large ring terminal to the cable. Connect the ring terminal to 

the positive (+) battery post.

5)

    Prepare the ground wire for attachment to the amplifier by stripping 5/8” 

of insulation from the end of the wire, Insert the bare wire into the GND 

terminal and tighten the set screw to secure the cable in place. Prepare 

the chassis ground by scraping any paint from the metal surface and 

thoroughly clean the area of all dirt and grease. Strip the other end of the 

wire and attach a ring connector. Fasten the cable to the chassis using a 

non-anodized screw and a star washer.

         

NOTE:

  It is important to upgrade the ground connection between the negative (-) battery post and the

vehicle body or chassis to achieve optimum electrical performance.

         

6)

  Prepare the REM turn-on wire for attachment to the amplifier by stripping 5/8 inch (15.9mm) of 

insulation from the end of the wire. Insert the bare wire into the REM terminal and tighten the set 

screw to secure the wire in place. Connect the other end of the REM wire to a switched 12 volt posi-

tive source. The switched voltage is usually taken from the source unit’s remote amp on lead. If the 

source unit does not have this output available, the recommended solution is to wire a mechanical 

switch in line with a 12 volt source to activate the amplifier.

7)

    Securely mount the amplifier to the vehicle or amp rack. Be careful not to mount the amplifier on 

cardboard or plastic panels. Doing so may enable the screws to pull out from the panel due to road 

vibration or sudden vehicle stops.

8)

    Connect from source signal by connecting the RCA audio cables to the input jacks at the amplifier 

or by connecting speaker level signal to RCA audio cables and/or RCA jacks. 

9)

    Connect the car speakers. Speakers should be 4 Ohms.  If connecting one speaker per channel as 

shown in the diagrams (except where noted on D6 1200.1). Strip the speaker wires 1/2” (12.7mm) 

and insert into the speaker terminal block, then tighten the set screw to secure into place. Be sure 

to maintain proper speaker polarity. DO NOT chassis ground any of the speaker leads as unstable 

operation or damage to the amplifier and/or speaker may result.
