QUAD 4 Amplifier Owner’s Manual
POWER WIRING
These amplifiers are designed to work within a 12 to 16 volt DC range.
Before any wires are connected, the vehicles electrical system should be
checked for correct voltage supply with the help of a voltmeter.
First, check the voltage at the battery with the ignition in the OFF
position. The voltmeter should read no less than 12V. If your vehicle’s
electrical system is not up to these specifications, we recommend having
it checked by an auto electrician before any further installation. Once the
vehicle is checked, make certain the correct cable gauge is used. Since
this amplifier is a very efficient Class D design, 8-10 gauge is suitable
for most power runs with this amplifier.
BATT+ (Power)
This amplifier should be wired directly to the vehicle battery using the
appropriate size cable. Start at the vehicle battery and run the power
cable through to the amplifier. Avoid running the power cable over engine
components and near heater cores. The use of an inline fuse or circuit
breaker is a must; this will prevent the risk of a potential fire caused by a
short in your power cable. Connect the fuse holder or circuit breaker as
close to the battery positive (+) terminal as possible (within 18” from the
battery). This fuse or circuit breaker should be no greater then the sum of
the fuses found on the chassis of your amplifier You may now connect
the cable to the battery, but remember to leave the fuse out or circuit
breaker “off” until all other cable connections are made.
