Electrical Wiring
When making electrical connections to the amplifier, please observe the following:
Use at least 8 gauge or heavier wire for power and ground connections.
Wire the amplifier directly to the car battery.
For the ground connection, use the shortest possible wire to a good chassis
ground point.
Wire the Remote connection to the remote turn-on lead of your equalizer or head
unit. In some cases this may be the power antenna lead of the head unit.
Fuses
Fuses protect both the amplifier and the electrical system of your vehicle from faulty
conditions. If you must replace the fuse in your RAVE amplifier, use a fuse of exactly
the same type and rating. A different type or rating may result in damage or cause a fire.

you wish to install it and use a scribe (or one of the mounting screws) inserted in each
mounting hole to mark the mounting surface. If the mounting surface is carpeted,
Drill pilot holes in the mounting surface for the mounting screws and insert the mounting
Note: Before beginning your installation, be sure to take note of any wires, lines or
other devices in your vehicle which may be located behind any mounting surface!
