FDS AMPLIFIERS
U s e r m a n u a l
CAUTION
Avoid routing power cables close to low-level input cables (LOW LEVEL INPUTS), close to
the car aerial or sensitive equipment and harnesses. High-current power cables can cause
interference that affects audio signal.
CAUTION
Keep the cables as short as possible to maximise the quality of the installation. This will also
limit signal loss.
CAUTION
Before beginning the connection phase, remove the negative (-) terminal of the battery of
the vehicle. (fig.1)
3.1 - What wire gauge should I use for the power cable?
Your FDS amplifier requires a power supply of adequate amperage.
The required wire gauge of power cables depends on the length of wiring to the battery. See
recommended wire gauge in the table below:
Length of cable to the battery in metres
Length < 3 m < 4 m < 5 m < 6 m < 7 m

AWG < 11 AWG < 10 AWG < 10 AWG < 10 AWG < 10 AWG
Compliance with these wiring rules is essential for the safety of your electrical Installation and important
for maintaining maximum performance of your FDS amplifier.
3.2 – Wiring the input and output signals on your FDS amplifier
Route the RCA low-level wires, the speaker cables and the REM cable ensuring to insulate them from
other powerful automobile accessories, particularly electric motors (windshield wiper…). Keep the
whole length of the cables, which will be adjusted later on.
3.3 – Wiring the power supply to your FDS amplifier
3.3.1 – Route the positive power cable (+) making sure when doing so to route the cable to the opposite
side of the cables that you have previously installed – this is to avoid any interference. DO NOT
CONNECT THE CABLE YET.
