Connecting the power terminal
WARNING
If the battery wire is not securely fixed to the term-
inal using the terminal screws, there is a risk of
overheating, malfunction and injury, including
minor burns.
!
Always use the recommended battery and
ground wire, which is sold separately. Con-
nect the battery wire directly to the car bat-
tery positive (
+
) terminal and the ground
wire to the car body.
!
Recommended wires size (AWG: American
Wire Gauge) is as follows. The battery wire,
the ground wire and the optional direct
ground wire must be same size.
!
Use a wire of 8 AWG to 16 AWG wire for the
speaker/subwoofer wire.

Route battery wire from engine com-
partment to the vehicle interior.
!
When drilling a cable pass-hole into the ve-
hicle body and routing a battery wire thor-
ough it, take care not to short-circuit the
wire damaging it by the cut edges or burrs
of the hole.
After completing all other amplifier connec-
tions, finally connect the battery wire terminal
of the amplifier to the positive (
+
) battery
terminal.

Fuse (100 A) (sold separately)
Each amplifier must be separately fused at
100 A.

Use wire cutters or a utility knife to
strip the end of the battery wire, ground
wire and system remote control wire to ex-
pose about 10 mm (3/8 in.) of the end of
each of the wires, and then twist the ex-
posed ends of the wires.
