1. Speaker Terminals
These chrome plated connectors can accept from 16 to 8 gauge wire. Be careful to observe proper polarity when
connecting the cables
2. B - Terminal (Chassis ground)
REM
BATT
GND
POWER
To avoid unwanted ignition noise caused by ground loops, it is essential that the amplifier be grounded to a
clean, bare, metal surface of the vehicles chassis.
Note: GROUND WIRE SHOULD NOT BE EXTENDED MORE THAN 3 FT. (1 METER)
SPEAKER

BATT
GND
POWER
3. Remote Turn-On Input
REM
BATT
GND
POWER
To remote or power antenna output of car stereo. This amplifier is turned "ON" remotely when the vehicle's stereo
is turned "ON".
Note:
IF YOUR RADIO DOES NOT HAVE +12 VOLT OUTPUT LEAD WHEN THE RADIO IS TURNED ON, THE
"REMOTE" TERMINAL ON THE AMPLIFIER CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE'S ACCESSORY
CIRCUIT THAT IS LIVE WHEN THE KEY (IGNITION) IS "ON".
4. B+ Terminal (Battery Positive)
5. Input Sensitivity Adjustment
MIN MAX
This control adjusts the amplifier's sensitivity to match the signal strength coming from the source unit. Input
sensitivity is variable from 200 Millivolts to 8 volts. Clockwise increases sensitivity. Counterclockwise decreases
sensitivity.
THE KNOB IS NOT A VOLUME CONTROL
. A lower signal level will require increased sensitivity for
full power. A higher signal will require decreased sensitivity.
6. Low Level Input RCA Jacks
7. Low Level OUT RCA Jacks

PROTECT
8. LED indicator (Status)
-PWR (Power) : This BLUE LED will illuminate when the amplifier is turned "ON". If it fails to illuminate, check the power connections to
the amplifier and fuses.
- PROT (Protection) : The amplifier protection circuitry will disable the amplifier if input overload, short circuit, or extremely high
temperature conditions are detected. When the protection mode is in operation, the LED indicator on the side panel will be illuminated,
indicating the amplifier has gone into a self-preservation mode.
If you observe that the protection LED is lit, please check the system carefully to determine what has caused the protection circuit to
engage. The amplifier shut down due to a thermal overload condition, please allow it to cool down before restarting. If the amplifier shut
down because of an input overload or short circuit, be sure to repair these conditions before attempting to power up the amplifier again.
These inputs are for signal cables from the source unit or other processor. Always use high quality shielded RCA
cables.
The LINE OUT allows you to build multiple amplifier systems without having to use splitter cords to distribute the
signal. Now it is a simple matter of bridging one set of RCA cables into the first amplifier, then using the line out
RCA jacks as the feed to the next amplifier.
