POWER WIRING AND SIGNAL CONNECTIONS

POWER CONNECTION

BATT+ The ampliﬁer should be wired directly to the vehicle battery using a 8ga power cable. Start at the

vehicle battery and run the power cable through the vehicle’s ﬁrewall using grommets to the ampliﬁer’s BATT +

screw terminal. If factory grommets are not available install grommets yourself to protect the cable from sharp

metal edges.

Avoid running the power cable over the engine components and near heater cores. The use of an in-line fuse

or circuit breaker is a must, this will prevent the risk of potential ﬁre caused by a short in the power cable. Con-

nect the fuse holder or circuit breaker as close to the battery positive (+) terminal as possible (no farther than

18-inches from the battery).

The fuse or breaker amperage should be no greater than the fuse rating found on the ampliﬁer control panel lo-

cated on the side of the PS-AWB enclosure. You can now connect the cable to the battery, but remember to leave

the fuse out or the circuit breaker “off” until the other cable connections are made. It is highly recommended that

the cable end connecting to the ampliﬁer is terminated with a spade or ring terminal.

IMPORTANT—You MUST install a fuse holder with an appropriate fuse in line with the power cable

no further than 18-inches from the battery.

REM Run 18ga wire (not included) to the radio power antenna lead or remote output. This wire is responsible

for turning the ampliﬁer on and off. If the source unit (radio) is not equipped with a Remote lead you can connect

this wire to an accessory or ignition point at the vehicle fuse block. In this type of installation, the ampliﬁer will

be on whenever the ignition is on.

GND A cable of the same size (gauge) as the power cable should be used to ground the ampliﬁer. Connect

the ground wire from the screw terminal marked GND on the ampliﬁer control panel to the nearest bare-metal

surface on the vehicle. Keep the length of the ground cable to an absolute minimum using a spade terminal at

the ampliﬁer end and ring terminal as shown in below at the chassis end (Fig 3).
