POWER / GROUND
Warning!
To prevent a short to ground, disconnect the negative (-)
terminal of the system battery before you begin. If the power
cable shorts to ground, current will continue to flow until the
short is opened, the main fuses blow, the battery explodes or
the wire melts apart.
Reconnect the negative terminal only after you make ALL
connections.
Your Tube Driver BLUE is designed to operate from a typical
automobile 12 Volt, negative ground electrical system. The
ground wire should be the same gauge as the power wire
indicated in the previous gauge chart.
The main power cable should run from the amplifier location,
through or under the vehicle, to the battery. You must use a
grommet wherever the cable passes through a steel panel to
prevent an eventual short to ground.
The power and ground connections are the most
important part of any installation. If the connections are
poor and/or the resistance is high, the resulting voltage
drops will rob you of amplifier power and may allow
noise to enter your system. Your new Tube Driver BLUE
features a regulated power supply. However it is
designed to produce maximum power only when
adequate voltage and current is supplied. High
resistance caused either by poor connections or
inadequate wiring will degrade performance overall.
Using a digital multim eter (DMM), try to get cable
resistance as low as possible. If resistance is too high,
use a larger gauge wire. Try to ground your system to a
single point in the vehicle to reduce the potential of noise
induced by "ground loops." In larger systems, use
distribution blocks and run both power and ground
cables directly to the system battery.
