POWER TERMINAL
When the power supply lead or ground lead are extended, use AWG5 or
larger automotive grade cable which will withstand friction and heat to
safe grade against fires occurring as a result of short-circuiting.
•
It is important to have good quality power and ground connections.
Remember, to complete an electrical circuit, the ground
connection is just as important as the positive power connection.
•
Before any power connections are made, disconnect the ground
cable at the battery.
GND
: Connect the proper gauge ground wire to the amplifier “GND”
terminal and run the cable to the battery’s negative (-) terminal.
Please use a 10 gauge cable or bigger.
REM
: Connect the remote wire (power antenna output) from the head
unit to the remote turn-on wire of the amplifier. If the head unit is not
equipped with a remote/antenna output, locate a wire that is controlled
by the accessory position of the ignition key or perhaps run to a
separate breaker on battery distribution panel. It is important to have the
amplifier turn off with the radio or key/breaker. If the amplifier remains on,
the result will most likely be a dead battery.
BATT+
: connect the proper gauge power wire to the amplifier “+12V”
terminal and run wire to the battery’s positive (+) terminal. Please use a
10 gauge cable or bigger. Remember always protect this wire by
installing a fuse within 2 feet of the battery terminal connection. The
fuse is to protect the safety of the vessel in the case of a short.
2. FUSES
The fuses protect the amplifier against internal electrical damage.
When changing a fuse please make sure to only change them with same
value of fuse.
3. SPEAKER TERMINAL
Connect the channels FL and FR to the front speakers left and right. Be
sure to observe the correct polarity. Use only the output FL+ and FR- to
bridge the channels. Be sure of right selection of the Input Selector
switch (refer REAR PANEL, point 13). Connect the channels RL and RR to
the rear speakers left and right. Be sure to observe the right polarity.
Be sure of correct selection of the Input Selector switch (refer REAR PANEL,
point 13).
WARNING! The minimum impedance for stereo operation is 2 ohms per
channel. The minimum impedance for bridged operation is 4 ohms per
channel.
