ENGLISH
Replace defective fuses only with a new one of the same type and with the same fuse rating.
CAUTION
REM
Connect the turn-on signal from your head unit / car radio (REM) with the REM terminals of the power
capacitors. Then connect the REM terminal of one of the power capacitors with the REM terminal of
the amplier. Hereby the amplier and the power capacitors are turning on or off with the head unit /
car radio. Use therefor suitable cables with a sufcient cross section (0,5 mm
2
).

ADDITIONAL CABLE FUSE (NOT INCLUDED)
Install an extra fuse (not included) for the +12V power cable near the battery to secure the power
cable. The distance between the fuse and the battery should not exceed 30 cm. The fuse size must be
adapted to the cable cross-section of the installed power cable.
ATTENTION: The fuse at the battery does not protect the amplier, but the cable between the battery
and the amplier against short circuits.
POWER CAPACITORS (NOT INCLUDED)
We generally recommend operating this amplier with suitable power capacitors (powercaps), which
are not included in the scope of delivery. A power capacitor offers a more constant power supply, a
sound improvement and better bass performance of the amplier. The higher the nominal capacity, the
better it absorbs unpleasant voltage uctuations and stabilizes the entire sound system. For maximum
benet from the power capacitor, mount it as close to the amplier as possible.
With an output power per 1000 watts RMS, we recommend a capacity of 1 farad. Further information
is available from specialist retailers.
For the connection and operation, please also refer to the instructions for the power capacitor.

FUSES (NOT INCLUDED)
The amplier inherently has no internal device fuses. You should therefore use suitable fuses and
holders from a specialist retailer and install them in the power cables near the 12 volt terminal of the
amplier. The distance between the fuses and the amplier should not exceed 15 cm. Please note the
recommendations for the fuse values on page 16.

GND
Connect the minus poles of the power capacitors with a suitable contact ground point on the vehicle’s
chassis. Then connect the minus poles of the power capacitors with the GND terminal of the amplier.
The ground wires must be as short as possible and must be connected to a blank metallic point at
the vehicle’s chassis. Ensure that this ground point has a stable and safe electric connection to the
negative “–”pole of the battery. Check the ground wires from the battery to the ground point if possible
and enforce it if required.
ATTENTION: Use for both connections sufciently dimensioned cables of at least Ø 50 mm
2
with
a total length of max. 1,5 meters. If you use a longer cable, the cross-section must be correspond-
ingly larger. Use a very short cable length from the amplier to the power capacitor, which should be
mounted close as possible to the amplier.
