Connecting
the
amplifier
Before doing any wiring,
look
through
this manual and identify
the
diagrams
to
follow
for
power, input and speaker
connections
for
your
particular
installation. Be sure you understand
all
the connections before you proceed.
1.
Connect the
power
ground terminal
to
the
closest
point
on
the
chassis
of
the
car. Keep this ground wire
to
less
than 39"
(1
00 em)
in
length. Use 8
gauge
(or heavier) wire.
2.
Connect
the remote terminal
to
the
remote
output
of
the
head unit using
16
gauge
(or heavier) wire.
3. Connect
an
empty fuse holder within
18'' (45 em)
of
the
car battery, and run
8
gauge
(or heavier) cable from this
fuse
to
the
amplifier location.
4. Check that the fuse holder is empty.
Then
connect
the
fuse
holder
to
the
"BATT+"
connection
on
the
amplifier.
5.
If multiple amplifiers are being used
in
your
system, either:
• Run a separate pair
of
cables
from
the battery and a chassis ground point
to
each amplifier. Each(+) cable
must
have its
own
inline fuse.
-or-
• Run a #4 cable from
the
fuse holder
at
the
battery
to
a distribution
block
at
or
near the amplifier's location. Then
run separate cables from the amplifier
to
this
distribution
block
and
to
independent
chassis ground points.
6.
Connect
all line inputs and
outputs
(if used) using
high-quality
cables.
Connect
all speakers, following
the
diagrams
in this manual. Be sure
to
observe proper polarity
to
avoid audio
phase problems.
7.
Insert fuse(s) into
the
battery fuse
holder(s).
8.
Recheck all
connections
before
powering
up
the
amplifier.
9. Set all level
controls
to
minimum
position, and set all crossover
controls/switches
to
the
desired
frequency
points.
10.
Power
up
the
head unit and
the
amplifier. Then set
the
volume
control
on
the
head unit
to
about
3/4
volume,
and
adjust
the
amplifier's input level
control(s)
to
just
below
the
level
of
distortion.
11. Further fine tuning
of
the
various
controls may be necessary
to
obtain best
results.
Don•t
misuse
the
level
control!
Do not mistake the input level control
for
a
volume
control! It is designed
ONLY
to
match
the
output
level
of
your
audio
source
to
the
input
level
of
your
amplifier.
Do
not
adjust
this
input
level
to
maximum
unless
your
input
level
requires it.
Ignoring these instructions will result
in
an input overload
to
the amplifier,
and excessive
audio
distortion. It
can also cause the protection circuit
to
engage.
