13. SPEAKER Output Terminals
As shown in the wiring diagrams, be sure to observe speaker polarity through the system and speaker
impedance. This specially tooled solderless terminal is designed to accommodate up to 10 gauge speaker
wire.
14. COOLING FAN
Variable speed fan pulls cool air in - do not block so air can enter (XMA-1205D only)
15. FUSES
For convenience most PowerBass Xtreme mini amplifiers utilize common automotive ATC type fuses. For contin-
ued protection in the event that a fuse blows, replace the fuse only with the same value.
CAUTION: These pow-
er fuses on the amplifier chassis are for protecting the amp against overdrive. To protect the vehicles
electrical system, an additional fuse should be used within 18-inches of the battery on the 12V+ cable.
XMA-1200D
40A x 3
XMA-2000D
150A (Requires external fuse - not supplied)
NOTE: Due to space limitations, the XMA-2000D does NOT use chassis mounted protective fuses.
Therefore you must add a fuse and fuse holder (not included) rated at 150A for each XMA-2000D
installed.
16. BATT+ (Power Input Connection)
This solderless terminal is the main power input for the amplifier and must be connected directly to the positive
(+) terminal of the car battery. This solderless terminal accepts up to 2 gauge wire. (see Power Cable Selection
Chart for recommended wire gauge for each model).
17. REM (Remote Input Connection)
All PowerBass Xtreme amplifiers can be turned on by applying 12 volts to this terminal. This can be found on
the rear of the source unit in the form of a remote output. If this is not available you can wire to the ACC position
on the key. An 18 gauge wire is sufficient to run the REMOTE.
18. GND (Ground Input Connection)
A good quality ground is required for your PowerBass Xtreme Class D amplifier to operate at peak performance.
A short length of cable the same gauge as your power cable should be used to attach the ground terminal
directly to the chassis of the vehicle. Make sure that all of the paint is sanded or scraped away to ensure a
quality ground connection.
