Connection of the Power Supply
The +12 volt power supply cable (see Fig. 3) should be
connected directly to the positive terminal of the battery. A
fuse should also be provided at a distance of max. 30 cm
from the battery. The amperage rating of the fuse is calcula-
ted from the maximum total current input of the car/vehicle
hifi system. The fuse holder appertaining to the amplifier is
supplied with the amplifier module. This must be installed at
a distance of max. 20 cm from the positive terminal of the
amplifier and equipped with the original BRAX fuse provided.
The fuse ratings are: for amplifier
X 1000 = 60 A,
for amplifier X 2000 = 100 A.
Failure to comply nullifies the warranty.
The ground (chassis) cable (see Fig. 3) should be connec-
ted to the central ground reference point (this is located
where the negative terminal of the battery is grounded at
the metal chassis of the vehicle), or to a bright bare-metal
location on the vehicle chassis, i.e. an area which has been
cleaned of all paint residues. It must be ensured that resi-
stance values to the power sources (alternator, generator,
battery) are minimized as excessive resistance can appre-
ciably affect the audio quality and dynamics of the system.
The „Remote“ cable (see Fig. 3) is connected to the
„Remote“ connection or the automatic antenna connection
of the control unit (tuner/radio). The antenna connection is
only activated if the control unit is switched ON. This
ensures that, with the control unit switched off, the ampli-
fier is also switched off to safe the battery.

Connection of the Signal Cables
The BRAX amplifiers have RCA connectors for cinch
cables which are connected to the pre-amplifier outputs or
line outputs of the control unit (tuner/radio). Ask your
dealer for the appropriate BRAX accessories.
