RUNNING THE WIRING CABLES **Always keep the signal cable and the power cables separated to prevent the possibility of inducing noise into the system** Carefully run the power and the signal cables through the boat. Always keep all the wire tight and tied down to prevent the power wire from shorting and reduce the risk of fire. A 4 AWG or larger wire should be used for power and ground connections. We recommend a fuse to be installed on the power wire within 18 inches of the battery for safety.
REMOTE CONNECTION This amplifier is designed to accept a 12 AWG - 16 AWG wire input on the terminal block for speaker outputs 1 and 2. (Diagram A). The Remote Turn-on is how the amplifier knows when to turn on and off. This is typically connected to the remote output wire on an aftermarket radio . When connecting this amplifier to a factory radio, you will need to find a +12 volt accessory wire that switches on and off with the key.
SPEAKER TERMINAL INPUTS The HTX Series utilizes removable speaker terminal blocks for easier installations and stronger power connections. The terminal blocks are designed to accept 12 AWG- 16 AWG speaker wire. When preparing the wire you will need to strip 5/8" of the cables protective shielding. Then take a small Phillips or flat head screwdriver and back out the screw on the terminal block. Insert the speaker wire into the terminal block and then tighten the screw back into the terminal block.

BRIDGED AUDIO RCA CONFIGURATION When connecting two speakers in bridged mode on channels 1-4 on the HTX4 or HTX-6, the left and right RCA's must be split to retain stereo separation . This means you will have left audio out of the left speaker and right audio out of the right speaker. You must also switch to 4CH on the input mode section of the control panel on top of the amplifier (See the switch image below for an example).
