Now it’s time to connect the power and ground cables to the ampliﬁer. Cut both cables to length.

Strip off 1/2 inch (12mm) of the insulation so that the bare wire ﬁts all the way in the terminal block on the

side panel of the ampliﬁer, seating it ﬁrmly so no bare wire is exposed. Use a Philips screwdriver to loosen

the BATT+ and the GND connections on the ampliﬁer. Insert the ground ﬁrst, and then the +12V and please

make sure that you place them into the correctly marked terminals. Hand tighten the set screws and make

sure the connection secure to prevent possible arcing due to loose screws.

REM (Remote Trigger)

This terminal must be connected to a switched +12V source. Typically, remote turn-on leads are provided

at the source unit that will turn on and off the ampliﬁer in correspondence with the source. If the source unit

does not have a remote turn-on lead, then a power antenna wire can be used. If neither of these leads is

available at the source unit, then a switched +12V supply must be used, like the ACC, +12V.

Run a minimum of 18 gauge wire from the ampliﬁer location to the source of the switched +12V lead. If pos-

sible, route this wire on the same side of the vehicle as your power cable. Connect the source remote output

to the wire. Go back to the ampliﬁer and cut the wire to length. Loosen the screw terminal marked REM on

the ampliﬁer. Insert the stripped (bare) portion of the wire into the terminal and tighten the screw securely.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that a hand screw driver and NOT a power drill is used to

tighten the set screws on the terminal blocks. This will prevent stripping or other possible

damage to the ampliﬁer.
