CONNECTING THE POWER (Fig.1)
CAUTION:
AS A PRECAUTION, DISCONNECT THE POWER WIRE FROM THE BATTERY WHILE MAKING THE
POWER AND GROUND CONNECTIONS TO THE AMPLIFIER.
4/8 GAUGE
(Thicker if planning for additional Amplifiers)
wire is recommended for
both the power and ground wires. 12 Gauge, for the remote turn-on wire. Both
types are available at most Mobile Audio Dealers or Installation Shop.
(1)
Ground
:
To Vehicle Chassis
To avoid unwanted ignition noise caused by ground loop, it is essential that the
Amplifier be grounded to a clean, bare, metal surface of the vehicle's
Chassis
NOTE :
GROUND WIRE SHOULD NOT BE EXTENDED MORE THAN 3 FT. (1 METER).
(2)
+12 Volt(Fused) Constant Power
:
To Battery (+)
Due to the power requirements of the Amplifier, this connection should be made
directly to the positive (+) terminal of battery. For safety measures, install an in-line
Fuse Holder (not included) as close to the battery positive (+) terminal as
possible with an ampere rating; not to exceed total value of fuses in Amp.
(3)
Remote Turn-On Input:
To remote turn-on output of Car Stereo
This Amplifier is turned "ON" remotely when the vehicle's stereo is turned "ON".
NOTE :
IF YOUR RADIO DOES NOT HAVE A +12 VOLT OUTPUT LEAD WHEN THE RADIO IS TURNED ON, THE "REMOTE"
TERMINAL ON THE AMPLIFIER CAN BE CONNECTED TO VEHICLE'S ACCESSORY CIRCUIT THAT IS LIVE WHEN THE
KEY IS "ON".
