DUAL  AMP INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:

4. Route two 0 gauge power cables directly to the vehicle battery with an in-line fuse.

1. Connect the amp LINE INPUTS to the Radio/CD player full range or mono line out 

5. Connect two 0 gauge ground cables directly to the chassis with in 36” of the amp.

6. Make sure the Master amp MASTER/SLAVE switch is in the MASTER position. 

with just one Bass Remote.

Make sure the Slave amp MASTER/SLAVE switch is in the SLAVE position.

3. Connect an RCA jumper cable from the Master amp MASTER OUTPUT to the 

7. Connect the subwoofer(s) in accordance to the diagrams below.

Slave amp SLAVE INPUT. 

Note: This will “link” the amps so that the Master amp 

8. Connect a 12 gauge jumper from Master amp speaker - to Slave amp speaker - as 

crossover switches will control both the

 

Master and Slave amps. The Slave amp

SINGLE AMP INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:

1. Connect the amp LINE INPUTS to the Radio/CD player full range or mono line out 
puts with good quality RCA interconnect cables.
2. Plug in the HFR-3 remote module into the amp REMOTE INPUT jack.
3. Route a 0 gauge power cables directly to the vehicle battery with an in-line fuse.
4. Connect a 0 gauge ground cables directly to chassis ground with in 36” of the amp.
