About This Product
This product is a class D amplifier for the
subwoofer. If both L (left) and R (right)
channels are connected to the RCA input
of this product, output is mixed because
this product is a mono amplifier.
CAUTION
Never replace the fuse with one of greater
value or rating than the original fuse. Use
of an improper fuse could result in over-
heating and smoke and could cause dam-
age to the product and injury including
burns.
WARNING
• Handling the cord on this product or cords associ-
ated with accessories sold with the product will
expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State
of California and other governmental entities to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm.
Wash hands after handling
.
• Always use the recommended battery wire and
ground wire, which is sold separately. Connect the
battery wire directly to the car battery positive ter-
minal (+) and the ground wire to the car body.
• Do not touch the amplifier with wet hands.
Otherwise you may get an electric shock. Also, do
not touch the amplifier when it is wet.
• For traffic safety and to maintain safe driving
conditions, keep the volume low enough so that
you can still hear normal traffic sound.
• Check the connections of the power supply and
subwoofer if a fuse for the separately sold battery
wire blows. Detect the cause and solve the prob-
lem, then replace the fuse with another one of the
same size and rating.
• To prevent malfunction of the amplifier and sub-
woofer, the protective circuit will cut the power
supply to the amplifier (sound will stop) when an
abnormal condition occurs. In such a case, switch
the power to the system OFF and check the
connection of the power supply and subwoofer.
Detect the cause and solve the problem.
• Contact the dealer if you cannot detect the cause.
• To prevent an electric shock or short-circuit
during connection and installation, be sure to
disconnect the negative (–) terminal of the battery
beforehand.
• Confirm that no parts are behind the panel when
drilling a hole for installation of the amplifier. Be
sure to protect all cables and important equipment
such as fuel lines, brake lines and the electrical
wiring from damage.
• DO NOT allow amplifier to come into contact
with liquids due to, for example, the location
where the amplifier is installed. Electrical shock
could result. Also, amplifier and speaker damage,
smoke, and overheating could result from contact
with liquids. In addition, the amplifier surface and
the surface of any attached speakers could become
hot to the touch and minor burns could result.
