power and ground cable. Select
the size listed here for your
amplifier model. Always use high
quality copper cable.
Cable size recommendations for
multi amp systems are available
on our website.
Properly route power,
speaker and RCA cables
through the vehicle.
Choose a mounting location
that will provide adequate air
ventilation. Mount the amplifier to
a secure surface. Do not mount
the amplifier upside down.

Connect the RCA cables to
the INPUT connectors. The
OUTPUT can be used to
provide input for a second
amplifier.
Connect the power cable to the
positive battery terminal. The
power cable must be fused
within 18 inches of the battery
terminal.
Re-connect the negative
battery terminal making sure it
is securely tightened.
The chassis ground connection
is critical to the performance
of the amplifier. Choose a
location that is close to the
amplifier. Completely scrape
