Power Supply Connections
All power connections are made via a nickel-plated terminal strip at one
end of the amplifier chassis. It is highly recommended that you read the
following precautions and contact you’re nearest authorized dealer if you
are unsure of any details.
Before installations make sure the source unit (i.e., your radio in the
vehicle) power switch is in the OFF position.
Disconnect the negative (-) lead at the battery before making any
electrical connections to avoid short circuits. When making connections,
be sure that each connection is clean and secure. Insulate over your final
connections with electrical tape or shrink tubing. Failure to do so may
damage your equipment.
A secure, clean ground connection is critical to the performance of your
audio amplifier. Use the shortest ground wire possible to minimize
resistance and avoid noise problems.
Connect the amplifier’s positive (+) power lead via an external fuse
directly to the battery, as close as possible to the positive (+) terminal.
Use a rating that equals the total current consumption at full output of
all amplifiers in the system. Adding an external fuse will protect the
electrical system from short circuits that can cause a fire.
Important: Do not connect this wire to the car’s fuse panel.
Caution: Never ground the speakers to the vehicle chassis or body.
