Connect the Loudspeakers
WARNING!
There is a potential of having dangerous voltage at the
output terminals on the rear of the amplifier. Use caution not to touch
these contacts. Make sure the Power switch is off prior to making
any connections.
NOTEE:
The output connector is capable of handling up to 8 AWG for
stranded wire.
1. Connect the loudspeaker wiring to the 8-pin Euro-style connector as needed for your
amplifier's configuration.
2. Install the female 8-pin Euro-style connector onto the male connector on the rear of the
amplifier as shown in
Figure 11
.
3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to secure the connector.
IMPORTANT!
The DPA-Q series of audio power amplifiers are
high power amplifiers designed for installation use in both Lo-Z and
Hi-Z applications. Proper wiring class/size is required to ensure safe
operation. Based on operating mode, these amplifiers are designed for
use with the following speaker wiring:
• FAST Channel Configuration Mode: Single Channel & Parallel = Class 2 wiring
