PRECAUTIONS
1. Find a suitable location in the vehicle to mount the amplifier.
2. Make sure there is sufficient air flow around the intended mounting location.
3. Bolt the amplifier to the mouning surface.
4. Connect the power ground terminal to the nearet point on the chassis of the car. Keep
this ground wire less than one meter (39”) in length. Use 8 gauge wire.
5. Connect the remote terminal to the remote output of the head unit using 14 gauge wire.
6. Connect an empty fuse holder within 300 mm (12”) of the battery and run 8 gauge or
larger high quality cable from this fuse to the amplifier location.
7. Make sure there is no fuse in this fuse holder. Then make the connection to the “BATT”
connection on the amplifier.
8. If multiple amplifiers are being used, use cables (each with its own fuse at the battery)
or a#o or #2 cable from the fuse holder at the battery to a distribution block at or near
the amplifier’s location.
9. Connect all line inputs and outputs using high-quality RCA-RCA cables.
10. Insert fuse (s) at the battery fuse holder(s).
11. Recheck all connections before powering up.
12. Set all level controls to their least sensitive positions and set all crossover controls,
switches, etc. to the desired frequency or position.
13. Once the system is powered up, set all the volume control on the head unit to about the
2 o’clock position, and then set all the amplifiers’ level controls for maximum output level.
14. Further fine tuning of the various controls may be necessary to obtain the desired results.
Before you drill or cut any holes, investigate your
car’s layout very carefully. Take care when you work
near the gas tank, fuel lines, hydraulic lines and
electrical wiring.
Do not operate the amplifier when it is unmounted.
Attach all audio system components securely within
the automobile to prevent damage, especially in an
accident.
Do not mount this amplifier so that the wire
connections are unprotected or in a pinched
condition, or likely to be damaged by nearby objects.
Be sure to select a location inside your vehicle which
has adequate ventilation.
Before making or breaking power connections in
your system, disconnect the vehicle battery. Confirm
that your head unit or other equipment is turned
off while connecting the input jacks and speaker
terminals.
If you need to replace the power fuse, only replace
it with a fuse identical to that supplied with the
system. Using a fuse of a different type or rating
may result in damage to your system which isn’t
covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
