on Amplifi er

1.  Carefully route the cable (included) from 
the amplifi er to your stereo head unit. 

2.  Once the cable is in place, connect one 
end of the cable to the remote bass knob. 

3.  Connect the other end of the cable to 
the amplifi er remote plug input.

For a good electrical connection and maximum power 
transfer, use the same gauge size ground cable as 
the power cable. The length of the cable should be 
as short as possible and as close to the amplifi er as 
possible.

GROUND

1. Locate a good, non-rusted chassis metal point 
in the vehicle.

2. Mark and drill a screw hole with an electric drill 
where chassis ground connection is to be made.

3. Use sandpaper to remove paint or rust to 
expose the area to bare metal.

4. Strip 1/2” of insulation on both ends of the 
ground cable to expose the wires.

5. Connect one end of the ground cable to an 
O-ring connector, and tightly fasten the connector 
using a sheet metal screw to the chassis metal.

6. Connect the other end of the gound cable to 
the amplifi er’s ground GND terminal.

WARNING! Be aware of gas tanks, gas lines, hydraulic 
lines and electrical wiring when drilling mounting holes 
to prevent serious or life-threatening injuries.
