Connections
Caution
• Before making any connections, discolu_ect
the ground terminal of the car battery to avoid
short circuits.
* Be sure to use speakers with an adequate
power rating. If you use small capacity
speakers, they may be damaged.
• Do not connect the 0 terminal of the speaker
system to the car chassis, and do not connect
the 0 terminal of the right speaker with that
of the left speaker.
• Install the input and output cords away from
the power supply lead as running them close
together can generate some interference noise.
I This unit is a high powered amplifer.
Therefore, it may not perform to its full
potential if used with the speaker cords
supplied with the car.
• If your car is equipped with a computer
system for navigation or some other purpose,
do not to remove the ground wire from the
car battery. If you disconnect the wire, the
computer memory may be erased. To avoid
short circuits when making connections,
disconnect the +12 V power supply lead until
all the other leads have been connected.
Make the terminal
connections as Illustrated below.
Note
When you tighten the screw, be careful not to
apply too much torque* as doing so may damage
the screw.
* The torque value should be less than 1 N•m.
Pass the leads
through the cap,
connect the leads,
then cover the
terminals with the
cap.

* If you have thefactory original or some other car audio without a remote output on the amplifier, connect the remote input
terminal (REMOTE) to the accessory power supply.

Notes on the power supply
• Connect the +12 V power supply lead only after all the
other leads have been connected.
• Be sure to connect the ground lead of the unit
securely to a metal polnt of the car. A loose
connection may cause a malfunction of the
amplifier.
• Be sure to connect the remote control lead of the car audio
to the remote terminal.
• When using a car audio without a remote output on the
amplifier, connect the remote input terminal (REMOTE)
to the accessory power supply.
• Use the power supply lead with a fuse attached (30 A).
• Place the fuse in the power supply lead as close as possible
to the car battery.
• Make sure that the leads to be connected to the +12 Vand
GND terminals of this unit respectively must be larger
than l O-Gauge (A WG- IO) or "with the sectional area of
mare than 5 mmL
• When using the optional RC-46 power amplifier
connecting cord, consult that manual for proper use.

Notes
• A maximum 3 amplifiers can be connected to the
THROUGH OUT terminal. If you connect more
than three ampli_ers, it may cause problems such as
sound dropout.
• High level input connection cannot use THROUGH
OUT.

Notes
• When using passive crossover networks in a multi-speaker
system, care must be taken as the speaker system's
;impedance should not be lower than that of the suitable
;impedancefor this unit.
• When you are installing a 12 decibels/octave system in
your car, the following points must be considered. In a 12
decibels/octave system where both a choke and capacitor
are used in series to form a circuit, a great care must be
taken when they are connected. In such a circuit, there is
going to be an increase in the current which by-passes the
speaker with frequencies at around the crossover
frequency. If audio signals are continued to befed into the
crossover frequency area, it may cause the amplifier to
become abnormally hot or the fuse will be blown. Also if
the speaker is disconnected, a series-resonant circuit will
be formed by the choke and the capacitor. In this case, the
impedance in the resonance area will decrease
dramatically resulting in a short circuit like situation
causing a damage to the ampli_er. Therefore, make sure
that a speaker is connected to such a circuit at all times.
