• NEVER operate the amplifier without proper fusing. Fuse holder must be located with in 0.5 meters from the
battery. This fuse is to protect the car not the electronics. In case of a short, the fuse will blow instead of the wire
burning up. Using other than the recommended fuse ratings at the battery and at the amplifier may cause damage
to the amplifier and will void your warranty.
• Do not run wiring underneath or outside the car since exposure to the elements may cause the insulation to
deteriorate rapidly, resulting in short-circuits and/or intermittent operation. All cables should be run beneath
carpets and inside trim pieces.
• To help minimize interference, it is best to run the power cables along the opposite side from the audio cables.
• Whenever wires pass through metal, rubber or plastic grommets must be used to prevent the mental from
wearing through the installation and causing a short.
• Whenever possible, use cable ties, mounting clamps and similar wiring aids (available from an electrical supply
or auto parts store) Adding stress relief loops to wiring is also advisable to prevent straining or breakage.
• It is best to test the system before the amplifier is mounted and interior of car is reassembled.
• If the temperature inside your car reaches extreme levels (such as sitting locked up for several hours in the hot
sun or exposed to a very cold winter's day) the amplifier may go into protection mode and shut off. Leave the unit
off until the ambient temperature returns to normal.
• The amplifier operates with any vehicle using a 12 volt negative ground system.
• NEVER ground the speaker leads and NEVER allow the speaker leads to come in contact with each other.
Speaker wire should be 18 gauge or larger.
• Remote turn on wire must be switched by the radio does not have a remote turn on or antenna output, connect
to wire that has a positive 12 volts when the key is turned to the accessory. If the amplifier does not turn off the
battery will die.
