3. Wiring the System
CAUTION : Avoid running power wires near the low level input cables, antenna, power leads,
sensitive equipment or harnesses. The power wires carry substantial current and
could induce noise into the audio system.
For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation.
1. Plan the wire routing .Take care when running signal level RCA cables to keep them close
together but isolated from the amplifier's power cables and any high power auto accessories,
especially electric motors. This is done to prevent coupling the noise from radiated electrical fields
into the audio signal. When feeding the wires throught the fire wall or any metal barrier, protect
them with plastic or rubber gromments to prevent short circuits. Leave the wires long at this
point to adjust for a precise fit at a later time.
2. Prepare the B+ cable for attachment to the amplifier by stripping 5/8" of insulation from the end
of the wire. The use of 8 gauge power cable can interfere with the installation of the end caps.
Proper wire dress can prevent this from occurring. To prevent the wire from fraying ,strip the
insulation at a 45
˚
angle. Insert the bared wire into be B+ terminal with the long side of the
insulation on the top. Bend the cable down at a 90
˚
angle.
Tighten the set screw to secure the cable in place.
3. Mount the fuseholder within 18" of the battery using two (2) #8 screws. Disassemble the fuse-
holder. You should have 2 black plastic end caps, 2 gold-plated fuse clips, a plastic spacer and
the fuseholder body. Trim the amplifier power cable to rach the fuseholder and strip the wire 3/8".
Silde one of the end caps over the wire (narrow end first) and insert the wire into one of the
fuse clips. Tighen the set screw. Screw the black end cap to the fuseholder body to secure the
cable. Use the section of able that was trimmed earlier and connect it to the other end of the
fuseholder. Install the plastic spacer in the fuseholder and attach the cable to the fuseholder body.
NOTE : The B+ cable MUST be fused 18" or less from the vehicle's battery. Install the fuseholder
under the hood and prepare the cable ends as stated above.
Connections should be water tight.
4. Strip 3/8" from the battery end of the power cable and crimp the large ring terminal to the cable.
Use the ring terminal to connect to the battery positive terminal. Do not install the fuse
at this time.
5. Prepare a length of cable to be used for the GND connection. Strip 5/8" of insulation from the
end of the cable as described previously and connect to the appropriate terminal of the amplifier.
Prepare the chassis ground by scraping any paint from the metal surface and thoroughly clean
the area of all dirt and grase. Strip the other end of the wire and attach a ring connector.
Fasten the cable to the chassis using a screw.
6. Prepare the REMOTE turn-on wire for connection to the amplifier by stripping 1/4" of insulation from
the wire end and crimping an insulated spade connector in place. Slide the connector over the
REM terminal on the amplifier. Connect the other end of the REM wire to a seitched 12 volt positive
source. The switched signal is usually taken from the source unit's auto antenna or the accessory
lead. If the source unit does not have these outputs available, the recommended solution is to
wire a mechanical switch in line with a 12 volt source to activate the amplifier.
7. Connect the source signal to the amplifier by plugging the RCA cales into the input jacks at
the amplfiier.
