1. Before you start, disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. Tape
up the end so it is isolated form the battery.
2. Run an appropriate gauge wire from the battery to the amplifier. Plan this
part of the installation carefully. This cable will carry very high current. If it
should short to the body and it is not properly fused it could catch fire.

Connect the power wire to the battery using a fuse capable of the total
urrent load of all amplifiers connected. Don´t install the fuse yet. Wait
until the end of the installation. Locate the fuse as close as possible to the
battery. If the fuse is further that 45cm (wire length) from the battery you
should re-evaluate the wire and fuse location

4. Find the closest clear metal area to the amp for a ground. Sand, grind or
scrape all paint and undercoating from the body and screw the ground
securely in place.
5. Run the speaker wire to the speakers. It is advised that you leave some
extra wire at this point. You can ''clean it up''

6. If you have already done so, mount the amp now.
7. Connect the power and ground to the amplifier.

8. Connect the remote wire from the head unit to the amplifier. Now is a good
time to turn on the amp for the first time. Make sure it turns on properly and
does not go into protection.
9. Connect the speaker wires to the amp and speakers (make sure the amp is
off first). Make sure the polarity (+ and-) is correct.

11. Double check the amplifier controls at this time. Make sure everything is
set correctly for your system.
12. Now you're ready to play it for the first time. It is best to leave the gain all
the way down at first. Start with the head unit volume low and work your
way up.
13. Now you can tune the amp. Take your time and make only one adjustment
at a time. It may take some time to get the system fully adjusted. During
this time the amp is drawing current from the battery. You should check
the battery voltage from time to time and re-charge it if it gets low. That's it.
You're done. Now have fun.
