HIGH PERFORMANCE STEREO AMPLIFIER This power amplifier has been designed to provide high quality performance with a minimum of maintenance. However, it's performance will only be as good as the care and quality of components with which it is installed. We therefore advise that you read these instructions very carefully to familiarize yourself with the product and it's features.
PRECAUTIONS 1. Although this unit is designed with built-in self-protection circuits, there may be a possibility of damage if it is not wired correctly. Please follow the wiring instructions carefully for the type of system being used. 2. The last lead to be connected is the wire to the positive (+) terminal of the battery. Connect this wire only after having completed and checked all other connections to the amplifier. 3.
INSTALLATION DIAGRAM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Select a mounting area where the amplifier will have sufficient air circulation for proper cooling. Inadequate air circulation will cause the temperature of the amplifier to rise and will trigger the thermal protection mode. 2. Place the amplifier on the mounting surface and mark the locations of the four mounting holes as shown in the illustration. 3. Remove the amplifier and drill a 1/8" hole at each of the four locations.

1 Power Indicator/Protection Mode LED The Power Indicator LED will light to indicate that the unit is connected to the battery and that the Remote Turn-On terminal is receiving +12 volts, thus turning on the amplifier. This LED illuminates red to indicate that the self-protection circuits have been activated and have shut off operation of the amplifier. The protection circuits may be triggered by the temperature of the unit rising above a safe level or by an overload condition.
4 High Level Input Connection If the car stereo does not provide low-level outputs, the amplifier may be connected via the speaker (high-level) outputs from the stereo. Wire the speaker leads from the car stereo to the 5-pin adaptor harness as shown in the diagram (shielded cable is not required for this application) and plug the connector into the mating High-Level Input socket on the amplifier. Carefully splice and insulate all wire connections.
provide an Auto-Antenna lead, the remote turn-on lead may be wired to an "Accessory" or "Radio" terminal in the car's fuse block. This will turn the amplifier on and off with the ignition key, regardless of whether the car stereo is on or off. The remote turn-on lead does not carry large currents, so #20 gauge wire may be used for this application.
