Installation - Wiring
Amplifier Fuses
Although
the
amplifier
has an
internal
fuse,
additional
fuse
protection
should
be installed as close as
possible
to
the
battery
on
the
positive
(+)
power
wire
going
to
the
amplifier.
An
inline
fuse
should
be installed at
no
more
than
18" (46cm) on
the
positive
(+)
power
wire.
The
rating
of
the
inline
fuse
should
equal
the
value
of
the
internal
fuse
of
the
amplifier
if
only
the
single
amplifier
is
connected
to
this
wire.
If
other
devices are con-
nected
to
this
wire,
the
fuse
value
should
be
of
sufficient
capacity
to
handle
the
demand.
Wire Gauge
The
amplifier
accepts
up
to
4-gauge
stripped
wire
at
the
DC
power
and
ground
input
terminals,
and
4-gauge is
recommended.
Wire
runs
should
be kept
to
the
minimum
practical
length.
Power 12v and Ground (GND) Connection
Strip
approximately
%"
(16mm)
of
insulation.
The
positive
(+)
power
wire
is installed
into
the
amplifier
terminal
marked
"12v".
The
negative
(-)
wire
is installed
into
the
terminal
marked
"GND".
The
ground
wire
should
be
as
short
as
possible
and
connected
directly
to
the
chassis
of
the
vehicle. Make sure
that
the
chassis
connection
point
is free
of
rust, grease,
dirt,
paint,
and
other
materials
that
may
insulate
the
ground
wire
from
making
proper
connection.
lighten
the
12v
and
GND
terminals
with
the
supplied
3mm
hex
wrench
to
secure
the
wire
into
the
terminals.
If
the
power
wire
must
be
routed
through
a
drilled
or
existing
hole, use a
nylon
panel
grommet
to
prevent
the
insulation
from
fraying.
Failure
to
do
so
could
lead
to
an electrical
short
if
the
wire
insulation
is
worn
through
and
the
power
wire
is
shorted
to
ground.
Remote Input Connection
Use
the
supplied
FEMALE
quick-connect
terminal
to
connect
the
REMOTE
trigger
lead
from
the
head
unit
to
the
amplifier.
Crimp
connector
to
wire
from
head
unit
that
controls
remote
turn-on
(refer
to
head
unit
owner's
manual).
Once
the
quick-connect
terminal
is
crimped
into
place,
carefully
push
connector
onto
recessed MALE
REMOTE
terminal
adjacent
to
the
RCA
input
pair
(refer
to
the
diagram
on
page 4).
Speaker Output Connection
Prepare each
wire
by
stripping
approximately
%"
(16mm)
of
insulation.
The
positive
(+) speaker
wires
are
installed
into
the
amplifier
terminals
marked
"SPEAKER
OUTPUT"
/
"+"
(refer
to
the
diagram
on
page 4).
The
negative
(-)
speaker
wires
are
installed
into
the
amplifier
terminals
marked
"SPEAKER
OUTPUT"
/
"-".
lighten
the
"SPEAKER
OUTPUT",
"+",
and
"-"
terminals
with
the
supplied
2mm
hex
wrench
to
secure
the
wires
into
the
terminals.
If
the
speaker
wires
must
be
routed
through
a
drilled
or
existing
hole, use a
nylon
panel
grommet
to
prevent
fraying
the
wire
insulation.
Failure
to
do
so
could
lead
to
an electrical
short
if
the
wire
insulation
is
worn
through
and
the
speaker
wires
are
shorted
to
ground.
Mono
Subwoofer Operation
Refer
to
the
diagram
on
page
4.
WARNING!
Subwoofer
impedance
must
not
fall
below
2
ohms
when
in
MONO
mode.
