BATT+ (Power)
The ALC-2 should be wired directly to a co12 volt source. We recommend using minimum 18-gauge
wire (preferably with a red jacket) and an In-line fuse holder containing a 1-amp fuse. The use of an in-line
fuse is a must to protect the unit in case of electrical short. Insert the other end of the fused power wire into
the power plug BATT+ position after stripping off 3/8” of insulation from the end of the wire.
GND (Ground)
The main ground connection should be made between the GND position on the power plug and a metal part
close to the ALC-2 mounting location. The ground wire needs to be as short as possible to minimize the pos-
sibility of induced noise. The metal point on the vehicle where the ground connection is to be made needs to
have all paint sanded away to bare metal and removed for better contact of the ground. Use the same gauge
of wire as you did for the positive connection (instead this time preferably using wire with a black jacket). Strip
the jacket and prepare the other end of the ground wire the same way you did the power wire for insertion into
the GND position on the power plug.
Once you have completed wiring the Power Plug, gently push it into the power socket on the side panel of the
PowerBass ACL-2.
Choose the correct length and style of RCA interconnects for your needs (not included). Run the RCA cables
from the amplifier to the location of the PowerBass ALC-2. Make sure all the RCA cables are run on the op-
posite side of the vehicle from where you ran the power cables to the amplifier(s). Hiss, engine noise, and fan
noise can easily be picked up through the RCA cables if run incorrectly.
Attach the RCA cable from the amplifier to the OUTPUT jacks on the side panel of the processor.
Next attach the RCA cable from the output on the source unit to the processor’s INPUT jacks (Unless you are
using the high speaker level input).
