Installation & Mounting
Any deviation from the connection specifications recommended may cause serious damage to the amplifier, spea-
kers and/or vehicle electrical system. Please double-check the connection before turning the system on.
1. Disconnect the vehicle’s negative battery connection.
2. Determine the mounting place for your COUSTIC COMPRESSOR amplifier. Keep in mind that there needs to be
sufficient air flow across the heatsink of the amplifier to ensure proper cooling. Mark the mounting holes of the
amplifier and drill the holes to mount your amplifier. Before drilling any holes make sure that all vehicle wires, gas
lines, brake lines, gastank etc. are clear and will not interfere with the installation. Mount your COUSTIC COM-
PRESSOR amplifier.
3. Run a positive power cable from the vehicle’s battery through the firewall using a grommet or firewall bushing to
avoid damage to the cable from sharp edges of the firewall. Run the cable through the interior of the vehicle and
connect the end to the amplifier’s +BATT terminal. Leave the cable disconnected from the battery.
Note : Use only proper gauge wire for both positive and negative connections for optimum performance.
4. Install a circuit breaker or fuse within 30cm of the battery. This effectively lowers the risk of severe damage to
you or your vehicle in case of a short circuit or accident. Make sure the circuitbreaker is switched off or the fuse is
taken out of the fuse holder untill all connections are made. Now connect your positive power cable to the positive
battery terminal of the battery
5. Find a good ground source on the vehicle’s chassis and remove the paint to reveal bare metal at the contact
point. Attach the ground wire to that contact point and connect the other end of the ground wire to the GND termi-
nal of your COUSTIC COMPRESSOR amplifier.
6. Connect a Remote Turn-on wire from your source unit to your COUSTIC COMPRESSOR amplifier’s Remote ter-
minal. If your source unit does not have a dedicated Remote Turn-on lead, you may connect to the source unit’s
Power Antenna lead.
7. Connect RCA cables from your source unit to your COUSTIC COMPRESSOR amplifier’s RCA input jacks. If RCA
(low level) output is not available, connect the included speaker (high level) connector to the speaker wires from
the source unit.
8. Connect your speakers to your COUSTIC COMPRESSOR amplifier’s speaker terminals using 2mm2 minimum
speaker cable.
9. Double-check all the previous installation steps, in particular, the wiring and component connections. If every-
thing is in order, reconnect the vehicle’s negative battery connection, switch your circuitbreaker on or place your
fuse in the fuse holder and begin adjusting your amplifier.
Note: Be sure that the Gain Level on the amplifier is turned all the way down (counter clockwise) before proceeding
with adjustments.
