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.

Connect

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

located

on

the

side

of

the

STA

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

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).
