Specifications

At this point, the power, ground, and remote wires should be run to the general location of where the amplifier is to be mounted. If the wires are to be hidden
under the carpet, you now need to cut a slit for them to come through. To do this, place the amplifier in the location it is to be mounted to verify where the slits need
to be. Make sure that there will not be a conflict with the mounting of the amplifier and the wires. Pull the wires through the slit to the terminals leaving
approximately 6" (150mm) of slack and cut the wires to an equal length. Located the spade connectors supplied with the amplifier. Strip approximately 1/2" inch
(12mm) of insulation from the end of each wire. Crimp the spade connectors onto the stripped end of the wire. Loosen the terminal screws on the amplifier. Insert
the wires into the proper terminals and tighten the screws securely. Check your connections by giving the wires a slight tug.

SIGNAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
SIGNAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Getting a clear signal from the head unit to the amplifier is very important. To achieve this, the proper signal cables (RCA style) must be used. Estimate the length of
the cables necessary. Take note that the signal cable manufacturers will probably not have the exact length necessary for your vehicle. If you are in between sizes,
purchase the slightly longer cable. You can always hide the extra wire.
Be aware of the differences in cable. Better RCA's usually have multiple layers of shielding and/or twisted pair wiring for better noise rejection. Ask your local dealer
for his recommendation.
LINE LEVEL INPUTS
Car environments are notorious for poorly insulated wires. This means that hiss, engine noise, and electrical noise can easily be picked up through RCA cables if ran
incorrectly. To avoid inducing noise into the system, run the RCA's away from large wire looms and electric fans if possible. And always make sure to position your
signal cables away from the power wire, preferably on the opposite side of the vehicle. As with the power wire, use caution around sharp corners or body parts that
may easily cut through the cables.
When connecting the signal cables, check the balance when connecting them to the source unit and the amplifier. The cables should be marked: red is right and
black or white is usually left.
Once you have finished connecting the signal cables to the source unit, slide the unit back in to the dash location. Make sure that the unit is in tightly.
HIGH LEVEL INPUTS
Use high level inputs only if your current head unit does not have low level inputs. These inputs may be tapped to the closest left and right speaker wires available.
Please see diagram for connections.
LEVEL CONTROL
Next to the preamp inputs on the side panel of the amplifier is the level control, commonly referred to as the gain. The gain allows you to match the output level of
your source unit or signal processor to the input level of the amplifier. Matching the input can be accomplished in three simple steps:
1. Turn gain (level) control to minimum.
2. Turn on the source unit and adjust to 2/3 of max volume while playing music.
3. Adjust the gain control until desired, maximum volume is achieved without audible distortion
Remember that the gain control is not a volume knob. Ignoring the three steps above may leave you with damaged speakers and possibly a damaged amplifier.
