AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS AND INTERFACE

GROUND LINE - This is the high current ground connection to the chassis of the car. It should

be fastened to a clean ground connection in the car, capable of handling high current loads. Do

not run a wire up to the car battery ground for this line. It should remain less than 3 feet in

length (1 meter).

TRIGGER LINE - This connection is the connection point that allows the amplifier to be

switched on from a remote location (usually the radio). When a positive voltage is applied to

this terminal the amplifier will switch on. This connection is normally made from the power

antenna lead of the radio or a dedicated trigger line. It will turn the amp on for any voltage

above 10 volts. Make sure the radio’s power antenna lead is activated only when the radio is

turned on.

BATTERY LINE - A high current, fused line should be connected at this point with battery level

voltages (typical 12.5 - 14.5 V DC) available 24 hours a day.

FUSES - These fuses are only for catastrophic situations should the amplifier begin to self

destruct. Another fuse should be located at the battery before a run of wire is run the length

of the car to the remote location of the amplifier.

REMOTE CONTROL INPUTS - This amplifier has the capability to have its gain changed from a

remote gain control (optional) and uses a standard RJ-11 telephone jack for interface. Should

more than one amplifier be used in an installation, you can “daisy chain” these controls

together using simple telephone cables so all amps move their gains up and down in tandem.

LEFT FRONT

RIGHT FRONT

MONO [Al INPUTS - These lines connect to the RCA output

jacks of a radio, or directly from the high level audio outputs from a radio. In the 4 and 3

channel modes these are LF & RF. In the 2 channel mode the input marked MONO A drives the

MONO A output (left channel in the two channel mode).

LEFT REAR & RIGHT REAR

MONO IBI INPUTS

These lines connect to the RCA output jack

of a radio, or directly from the high level audio outputs from a radio. In the 4 channel mode,

these inputs are LR

RR. In the 3 channel mode, the input marked MONO B is the third

(bridged) channel. In the 2 channel mode, the input marked MONO B drives the MONO B

output (right channel in the two channel model.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS

These connections are used to connect loudspeakers with 1 ohm or

higher speaker impedance. It is imperative that these lines NOT be connected or touch the

chassis of the car in any way (the

f-1

lead of the left channel is not electrically connected to the

(-1

lead of the right channel so common

arounds

cannot be used). Speaker wire gauges of up

to 8 gauge in size can be accommodated by these terminals.
