Connections when using the

speaker input wire

Connect the headunit speaker output wires to

the amplifier using the supplied speaker input

wire with RCA pin cord.

 Make sure to switch the INPUT SENS switch

to SP.

Notes

 If speaker input wires from a headunit are

connected to this amplifier, the amplifier will

automatically turn on when the headunit is

turned on. When the headunit is turned off,

the amplifier turns off automatically. This

function may not work with some headunits.

In such cases, make sure that the front chan-

nel is connected correctly. If the function still

does not work, please use a system remote

control wire (sold separately). If multiple

amplifiers are to be connected together

synchronously, connect the headunit and all

amplifiers via the system remote control wire.

Solderless terminal

connections

 Since the wire may become loose over time,

it must be periodically inspected and tight-

ened as necessary.



Do not solder or bind the ends of the

twisted wires.

 Fasten while making sure to not to clamp

the insulating sheath of the wire.

 Use the supplied hexagonal wrench to

tighten and loosen the terminal screw of the

amplifier and use it to securely fasten the

wire. Be careful to avoid excessive tighten

ing of this screw, which may damage the

ire.

Connecting the power terminal

WARNING

If the battery wire is not securely fixed to the

terminal using the terminal screws, there is

a risk of overheating, malfunction and injury,

including burns.

 Always use the recommended bat-

tery and ground wire, sold separately.

onnect the battery wire directly to the

boat battery positive () terminal and the

ground wire to the boat body.

 Recommended wires size (AWG: American

Wire Gauge) is as follows. The battery wire,

the ground wire and the optional direct

ground wire must be same

size.

 Use a wire of 12 AWG to 16 AWG wire for

the speaker wire.

 When drilling a cable pass-thru into a bulk-

head or barrier wall, route the cable through

carefully and seal the hole to prevent fumes

from seeping from engine compartment to

other areas.

1 Route battery wire from engine

compartment to the boat interior.

After completing all other amplifier con

nections, finally connect the battery wire

erminal of the amplifier to the positive 

battery terminal.

1 Positive  terminal

2 Battery wire (sold separately)

The maximum length of the wire between the

fuse and the positive  terminal of the bat-

tery is 30 cm (12 in.).

3 Fuse (80 A) (sold separately)

Each amplifier must be separately fused at

80 A.

2 Use wire cutters or a utility knife to

strip the end of the battery wire,

ground wire and system remote

control wire to expose about 10 mm

(3/8 in.) of the end of each of the wires,

and then twist the exposed ends of the

wires.

Twist

10 mm (3/8 in.)

3 Connect the wires to the terminal.

Fix the wires securely with the terminal

screws.

Installation

Before installing the amplier

WARNING

 To ensure proper installation, use the supplied

parts in the manner specified. If any parts

other than those supplied are used, they may

damage internal parts of the amplifier or

become loose, causing the amplifier to shut

down.

 Do not install in:

— Places where injury could occur if the boat

stops suddenly.

— Places where it may interfere with the

boat’s operation.
