Connection
Ensure the audio system is turned off before making any connections to the
amplifier, speakers or source unit. Failure to do so could result in permanent
damage to the audio system.
Ensure the correct gauge cable is used for all connections; consult the cable
calculator diagram below for the correct gauge cable for your installation.

The above chart shows cable gauges to be used if no less than a 0.5V drop is acceptable.
If aluminium wire is used, the gauges should be of an even larger size to compensate.
Cable gauge size calculation takes into account terminal connection resistance.

Ensure ALL other cable connections are completed
before connecting this cable to the battery. PHOENIX
GOLD amplifiers should be connected directly to the
12V battery terminal using the appropriate gauge cable.
Start at the vehicles battery and run the cable through
to the amplifier. PHOENIX GOLD recommends the use
of rubber grommets when passing any cable through
metal panels to avoid sharp corners or panels that could
cut through the insulation of the cable. An inline fuse or
circuit breaker MUST be used within 30cm (12”) of your
battery; this will prevent the potential risk of a fire caused
by a short in your power cable (see spec table for
recommended inline fuse/circuit breaker ratings).
Connect the other end of your power cable to the
battery, but remember to leave the fuse out or circuit
breaker off until all other cable connections are made.
