&TRIGGER LINE:
GROUND - This is the high current ground connection to the chassis
of the
car. It should be fastened to a clean ground connection in the vehicle,
capable
of handling high current loads. This wire should be no longer than
3 feet
(1 meter)
+12v - A high current line run direct from the batter is highly recommended
to insure adequate current and voltage. This line MUST
be run through a
dedicated fuse
of some kind and this fuse should be located immediately
next to the power source. This in-line fuse is used to protect the vehicle
should a short to chassis occur.
TRIGGER - This line tells the amp to turn on and is remotely switched from
the radio which normally provides an amp "trigger" output. This line is
required to go "high"
(+ 12V) to turn on the amp. If this line is not available,
use the power antenna line trigger which is normally available
in most
radios.
FUSES - These fuses are only for catastrophic situations should the amplifier
begin to self-destruct or incur installation situations where gross amounts
of
current are being reqUired from the amp beyond its design limits. Although
another fuse should be installed inline with the high power line at the battery,
these amplifier mounted fuses MUST remain
in the circuit to protect the
amplifier.
SPEAKER OUTPUTS - The amplifier is connected to appropriate impedance
speakers via these leads. It is IMPERATIVE that these leads NOT be
connected or touch the vehicle chassis
in any way or the amplifier will be
damaged. The
(+) and (-) leads of the amp are in no way inter-connected to
one another. Also, NONE
of the leads can touch each other, touch ground, or
touch
+12V or damage may occur to the amp or vehicle.
-7-
+12V Terminal
Connect directly to the vehicle battery (+)
terminal with 10 gage wire (minimum)
Ground Terminal
Connect to a good chassis ground. The
ground connection should be clean.
unpainted metal to provide a good electrical
connection.

Trigger Terminal
Connect the radio power antenna lead from
the receiver to the trigger terminal. This
turns the amplifier on whenever the receiver
is turned on.
