IMPORTANT/ PRELIMINARY

Select a safe/dry location to mount your Amplifier. Double check location and placement of

your amplifier before making any connections or drilling any holes. Never mount your Amplifier

in the engine compartment, or cover it with carpet or any other fabric materials that will cause

the Amplifier not to get the proper ventilation. Avoid drilling through electrical wires, fuel lines,

or other obstructions that may be around your mounting area. If you have any questions or

concerns, please contact our tech support team at 1-800-621-3695 Ext. 3

IMPORTANT/ PRELIMINARY WARNING: MAKE SURE YOU CHECK TWICE. DRILLING THROUGH ANY ELECTRICAL WIRES, FUEL LINES OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE SYSTEMS MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. ROUTING CABLES AND WIRES Determine the safest place to run wires through firewall. If it is necessary to drill holes be sure area is free of any obstructions on either side. Always use a grommet to protect wire. Be sure to route all wires and cables away from parts that may move or become hot.

AMPLIFIER ADJUSTMENTS MIN MAX Level: The Level Adjust Control (Gain) matches the output of your Car Stereo to the inputs on the Amplifier. 1. Turn Stereo on and adjust the volume to about 3/4’s of the stereo’s maximum volume. 2. Carefully turn the Level control up (by turning it clockwise from the "Min" position) on the Amp until the sound is just above your normal listening volume or near distortion. (Distortion is when the sound/ music becomes garbled, breaks up, or unclear). 4.

POWERING YOUR AMPLIFIER PRELIMINARY: DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL TO AVOID SHORT CIRCUITS. CAUTION: USE OF OTHER THAN SPECIFIC Fuses: Use only specified fuses (see note). FUSES MAY DAMAGE SYSTEM OR NOTE: Use three 25A ATC fuses for 500c1, or VEHICLE. USE OF UNSPECIFIED FUSES use four 25A ATC fuses for 1000c1. WILL VOID WARRANTY. +12 Volts: The High current lead for the amplifier must run directly to the positive battery terminal via POWER a dedicated fuse block.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS THE FOLLOWING ARE RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO MAKE YOUR CONNECTIONS FOR 1-CHANNEL (MONO) CONFIGURATIONS Speaker connections are used to connect the speakers to the amplifier. Be sure speakers with the appropriate *impedances are used. It is extremely important that the speaker wires are NOT connected to or touching the chassis (Ground) of the vehicle in any way. The EFX 500c1 and 1000c1 are MONO amplifiers.
PAGE 6
MASTER/SLAVE CONFIGURATION If you choose to Slave a second amp, then connect the “Master” audio output on the First amp to the Slave audio ‘IN” on the Second amplifier. Set the switch on the 2nd Amplifier to the “Slave” position. Connect the Negative outputs between the amps with NO LESS than 8 AWG wire. Use the Positive (+) speaker out from the Master to the Positive Subwoofer terminal and use the Positive (+) Speaker out from the Slave amplifier to the Negative terminal of the SUB.

TROUBLE SHOOTING Amplifier will not No Voltage on +12V Input. turn on or No power power light not on. Use a volt meter to verify voltages at terminals of amplifiers +12V Inputs hould have a minimum of 11.5 volts while ignition of vehicle is ON or OFF. Use voltmeter to verify voltage at terminal of amplifiers REM input. REM input should have 12 volts while Car Stereo is "ON" and 0 volts While "OFF".
PAGE 8
TROUBLE SHOOTING Amplifier turns off during loud or distorted passages or Protection Light comes On. Amplifier operates. But gets very hot. Amplifier’s input gain control may be set too high or settings not correct. Check amplifier’s input gain control settings - adjust levels if necessary. Low vehicle battery voltage. Verify battery voltage is greater than 11.5v DC at amplifier with engine off. Bad connection on car stereo or Amplifier Check Car Stereo and amplifier’s ground connections.
