ELECTRICAL INTERCONNECTION
Installation of RCA/Audio signal cables and power supply.
Attend while installation not to lead the audio cables between the headunit and the amplifier together with
the power supply wires on the same side of the vehicle. The best is a areal separated installation in the
left and right cable channel of the vehicle. Therewith a overlap of interferences on the audio signal will be
avoided. This stands also for the equipped bass-remote wire, which should be installed not together with
the power supply wires, but rather with the audio signal cables.

FUSE
The inserted fuses protect the amplifier from shorts and capacity overload. Replace damaged fuses only with equal fuses with
the same fuserating (attend the specifications).
NOTE: The X3-COLOSSUS model has due to construction-conditioned reasons no internal fuse-protection.
The amplifier must be fused by any means with an external In-Line-Fuse with a value of 200 A.
REM
Connect the turn-on signal (e.g. automatic antenna) or the turn-on remote signal of your headunit with the REM-terminal of the
amplifier. Use therefor a suitable cable with a sufficient cross section (0,5 mm
2
). Thereby the amplifier will turn on or off automatically
with your headunit.
BATT+12V
Connect the BATT+12V-terminal with the +12V pole of the vehicle’s battery. Use therefor a suitable cable with a sufficient cross
sectionand install a additional in-line fuse. For safety reasons the distance between the fuseblock and the battery must be shorter
than 30 cm. Do not install the fuse into the fuseblock until the installation is accomplished.
GND
Connect this GROUND terminal with a suitable contact ground point on the vehicle’s chassis. The ground wire must be as short
as possible and must be connected to a blank metallic point at the vehicle’s chassis. Ensure that this ground point has a stable
and safe electric connection to the negative “–”pole of the battery. Check this ground wire from the battery to the ground point if
possible and enforce it, if required. Use a ground wire with a sufficient cross section (at least 25 mm
2
or 35 mm
2
) and the same
size like the plus (+12V) power supply wire.
LOGO BADGE
This switch changes the illumination color of the upper logo badge (blue or white). Attend by any means the directives of your
national road traffic regulations.
SUGGESTED CABLE PROFILE SECTIONS FOR POWER SUPPLY:
• X3-OLYMPUS at least 25mm
2
• X3-ZEUS at least 35mm
2
• X3-COLOSSUS* at least 35mm
2
* Due to the very high power consumption, the X3-COLOSSUS model has each two power terminals, which must be connected.
Furthermore we suggest the installation of a additional second add-on-battery.

BEFORE THE CONNECTION
For the professional installation of a sound system appropriate wiring kits are available in car audio retailer stores. Attend the sufficient
profile section (attend the specifications below), the suitable fuse rating and the conductivity of the cables when you purchase your wiring
kit. Clean and remove rust-streaked and oxidized areas on the contact points of the battery and the ground connection. Make sure that
all screws are fixed tight after the installation, because loosely connections may cause malfunctions, unsufficient power supply or
interferences.
