STA AMPLIFER CONTROL PANEL LAYOUT
Fig.2
1. GND (Ground Input Connection)
A good quality ground is required for the amplifier to operate a peak performance. A short length of cable
the same gauge as your power cable (8ga is recommended) should be used to attach the ground terminal
directly to the chassis of the vehicle. Make sure that all of the paint is sanded or scraped away to ensure a
good quality ground connection.
2. REM (Remote)
The amplifier in your STA enclosure can be turned on by applying 12 volts to this terminal. This can be on
the rear of the source unit (radio) in the form of an output or remote output. If this is not available you can
wire up to the ACC position on the ignition key switch. An 18ga wire is sufficient to run the remote.
NOTE:
If
using the high input, the amplifier will turn on automatically when it senses a signal from your radio. You will
not have to hook up the REM wire in this case
3. BATT+ (12 Volt Positive)
This terminal is the main power input for the amplifier and must be connected directly to the positive (+)
terminal of the battery. A minimum of 8ga cable is required.
4. FUSE
For convenience most PowerBass AutoSound amplifiers utilize common automotive ATC type fuses. For
continued protection in the event that a fuse blows, replace the fuse only with the same value.
STA-8 uses
a 15A fuse.
CAUTION:
These power fuses on the amplifier chassis are for protecting the amp against over current
situation. To protect the vehicles electrical system, an additional fuse should be used within 18-inches of the
battery on the 12V+ cable.
