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. SCREW 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.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS The power connections for this amplifier are made via screw tightened terminal blocks. Loosen the screw for the connection to be made and fully insert the wire (strip 1/2" of insulation from the end) under the respective screw on the side panel. Tighten the screw down to secure the wire. 1. Power Connection The battery terminal (+12V) must be connected directly to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery to provide an adequate voltage source and minimize noise.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS 4. Speaker Connections Wire the speakers to the "Speaker Output" terminals as per the Output Wiring Diagram. For most applications, #18 gauge wire should be used for the speaker leads but in no case thinner than #20 gauge. When wiring the speakers, pay careful attention to the polarity of the terminals on the speakers and make certain they correspond to the polarity of the corresponding terminals on the amplifier. DO NOT ground any speaker leads to the chassis of the vehicle. 5.

WARNING! l NEVER COMBINE (BRIDGE) OUTPUTS FOR USE WITH 2 SPEAKERS. l NEVER GROUND NEGATIVE SPEAKER LEADS TO CHASSIS GROUND. l FAILURE TO WIRE CORRECTLY MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AMPLIFIER.
OPERATION 2 1 3 2 After initial set-up, the amplifier should not require any further adjustment unless there is a change in the car stereo or speaker system with which it is used. increase the output from the system. If, however, there is still output from the amplifier when the car stereo volume control is at its minimum setting, or the output level increases too fast with a small rotation of the volume control, adjust the Gain control to decrease the output from the system.
90 DAY/12 MONTH LIMITED WARRANTY Applies to car stereo power amplifiers, equalizers and accessories.
