POWER INPUT CONNECTIONS

Connection
GLADIATOR amplifiers are designed to work within a 10 to 16 volt DC range.(Except
GLADIATOR 10K) Before any wires are connected, the electrical system should be
checked for correct voltage supply with the help of a voltmeter.
First, check the voltage at the battery. The voltmeter should read between 12 and 13.8 volts.
Especially for GLADIATOR 10K the voltmeter should be read about 18V in order to get
profer output power. If your electrical system is not up to these specification, we
recommend having it checked by a technician before any further installation. Once is
checked, make certain the correct cable size is used. We recommend using proper cable
gauge, 18mm.
Power
Use a separated battery, with enough amperage to supply energy to the amplifier. Do not
use your car battery. GLADIATOR recommends the use of grommets when passing the
power cable through any metal wall to avoid sharp corners or sharp body parts that may
easily cut through the insulation on the cable.
Avoid running the power cable over engine components and near heater cores. The use of
an inline fuse or circuit breaker is a must, this will prevent the risk of a potential fire caused
by a short in your power cable. Connect the fuse holder or circuit breaker as close to the
battery positive terminal as possible. Use a fuse or circuit breaker of equal value as that
found on the chassis of your GLADIATOR amplifier. You may now connect the cable to the
battery, but remember to leave the fuse out or circuit breaker off until all other cable
connections are made.
