HOW TO

Install the fuses in the fuse holder and reconnect 

the negative power source terminal

. Be pre- 

pared to disarm your vehicle’s alarm and to 

enter your radio/source unit code. 

Time to test it out!

 Turn the ignition on your vehicle and turn the source/head unit on. Make 

sure that the amplifier’s power indicator is on and shows that there’s power coming all the 

way through, if not – turn the head unit off, the ignition off, disconnect the negative power 

source terminal and re-check all your connections. 

One last thing...

 We know you are ready to show off your upgraded sound system to the 

world,  but before you reattach all panels and put the head unit back in place, do a final 

check. Make sure that all the speakers have a signal by playing some really good music, 

turning the head unit volume up just a bit, and just slightly turning the level/gain on the 

amplifier. 

WARNING!

 Do not turn the level/gain more than to just hear the music (read 

through the HOW TO-section on setting the level/gain before further use).
