WIRING
Disconnect battery ground cable before making any power connections.
RED WIRE:
+12 volts. Connect directly to battery positive terminal and should be
fused within 18 inches from the battery and another fuse where the connection to
the amplifier is made. Remember to use the proper size fuses. The
Model
502HV

uses a SC60
fuse. This may appear to be a small fuse size, but the
Bussman SC
series
fuse is a fiberglass cased, silica (sand) filled ¼ diameter
fuse able to take many times its rating for peak current demands over several
seconds without blowing, but is still able to protect the amp from sustained
current draws in excess of its rating.
WARNING: USING OVERSIZED FUSES IS DANGEROUS AND WILL
DAMAGE YOUR AMPLIFIER!
BLACK WIRE:
Negative Ground. Connect to clean unpainted metal surface on
char chassis.
RED/WHITE WIRE:
Remote turn on lead requires 12 volts; connect to power
antenna lead from radio. When this is not available, you may connect to a +12
volts wire that is on with the ignition on or in the accessory position.
RCA CONNECTIONS:
Connect with quality-shielded patch cords from source,
crossover, or any other sound processor.
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS:
Connect speaker terminals to amplifier, facing the
terminal, left to right,
Left (-)
,
Left (+)
,
Right (-)
, and
Right (+)
. For
mono
operation use
left positive (+)
and
right negative (-)
. These amplifiers are
capable of
2-ohm
operation in
stereo
or
4 ohm
in
mono
.
OPERATING THE AMPLIFIER AT LESS THAN THESE RATINGS WILL
CAUSE AMPLIFIER FAILURE AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
NOTE:
The

has internal taps for 2-ohm operation. To access, remove
bottom cover. They are located about the middle of the amplifier and are set to 4
ohms at the factory. To change to 2-ohm operation, pull the quick disconnects off
the taps marked “
4
” and place them on the taps marked “
2
”. This will ensure safe
operation into
2-ohm stereo
loads, as well as,
4-ohm bridged
loads.

BASS BOOST:
This switch is accessible through a plug on the bottom
of the amplifier. In the on position it redistributes power in the bass region to help
overcome factors in the mobile environment that limit bass response. This "bass
boost" is a carefully measured EQ curve to enhance performance if needed. The
boost occurs at 45 Hz.
