1. 

GROUND TERMINA

L -  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 occupied by factory wires!
If you are grounding multiple ampli-
fiers, you may use a high-current
distribution block with proper gauge
cables, or use individual grounds for
each amp attached to the vehicle at
separate but close ground points.

2.

REMOTE TERMINAL -

connect this

terminal to the amplifier remote
output from your head unit or signal
source or 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. Refer to the
installation guidelines and specs
page for proper gauge of wire. YOU
MUST PROTECT THIS WIRE WITH A
FUSE or circuit breaker located
close to the battery.  

4.

POWER FUSES

- protects the ampli-

fier against electrical damage. DO
NOT REPLACE THE FUSES WITH
LARGER AMPERAGE FUSES !  If the
fuses blow, check your system for
wiring problems or see your dealer.

5.

SPEAKER OUTPUT  TERMINALS

-

Refer to the speaker wiring
diagrams (pg.6) for different
wiring options.

6.

SUBWOOFER OUTPUT

- connect

the subwoofer to these terminals.
