is something that you do not feel comfortable doing, please ask a
professional to help you. Be sure to lay the power wire away from all
signal cables.
•
+12V
(Item 2): This is the main power input for the amplifier and
must be connected directly to the positive terminal of the car battery
for the amplifier to operate properly. It is important that a main fuse is
installed a maximum of 8” from the battery.

•
REM
(Item 3): This connection turns the amplifier on and off with a
low level input. Connect the REM to the source unit’s remote-turn-on
output. If the source unit does not have a remote-turn-on circuit the
amplifier can be connected to +12V using a switch powered from the
ignition switched circuit.
•
GND
(Item 4): This is the ground connection for the amplifier and
must be connected directly to the metal chassis of the vehicle for the
amplifier to operate properly. A properly grounded amplifier can be
run harder and longer than a poorly grounded amplifier. The ground
on the amplifier should be as short as possible and be connected
directly to the vehicle’s metal chassis. Do not connect to factory bolts
of ANY kind. When attaching the ground to the chassis, sand all the
paint away from the contact point. A grounding block should be used
whenever possible as this piece of equipment has 5 times the surface
area of a normal screw.
The gauge of the power and ground wire is often an overlooked
aspect of amplifier installation. The more power the amplifier
receives, the more power it will produce. Power cables have a natural
resistance, and will lose voltage by the time the power makes its way
to the amplifier. The large gauge diameter wire will hold more voltage
over longer runs. Also, by having a larger diameter ground wire, the
amplifier can run more efficiently. It recommends using a minimum of
0 gauge power and ground cables to get the best performance.
Double check all the previous connection installation steps, in particular
the speaker and power wiring. Securely mount the amplifier. If everything
is in order, reconnect the vehicle’s negative battery connection and begin
following the Feature Setup and Adjustments steps.
