1.  Power Ground (B- Chassis Ground):

  We recommend using Phoenix 

Gold PRO10B or PS9R ground cable for a clean connection.

2.  Power Input (B+ Positive 12 Volts DC):

 This 24kt Gold (3) position 

barrier type connector is designed to accommodate up to 7 gauge 

power cable with our PRO81/82’s.  We recommend our PRO10/7R or 

PS9/7R power cable and always use the same gauge ground cable.

3.  Remote Turn-On:

 Connect the automatic antenna lead or "remote" 

12V DC lead from source unit to this terminal. This connection allows 

the amplifier to be turned ON and OFF at the source unit.  

4.  RCA Inputs:

 This two channel amplifier has left and right pre amp 

inputs. Typically all CD players and AM/FM cassette decks 

with RCA connections are compatible.

5.  Gain Adjustment:

 Allows amplifer to produce full power output when 

input voltage is between 0.2 - 2.0 volts.

6.  High / Low Pass Switch (SA1.0x only):

 Selects either High Pass 

(125Hz) or Low Pass mode (90Hz). Feature only available in 

selected markets.

7.  Power On LED:  

Indicates the amplifier is receiving 12V DC at the B+ 

and Remote input terminals. The amplifier is “On”.

8.  Speaker  Outputs: 

This  specially  designed  (4)  position  24kt  Gold 

barrier connector, accepts up to 10 gauge speaker wire. We suggest  

termination with a Phoenix Gold PRO404 spade terminal.
