Installation

precautions

Before

you

drill

or

cut

any

holes,

investigate

your

car's

layout

very

carefully.

Take

special

care

when

you

work

near

the

gas

tank,

fuel

lines,

hydraulic

lines

and

electrical

wiring.

Never

operate

the

amplifier

when

it

is

unmounted.

Attach

all

audio

system

components

securely

to

prevent

damage,

especially

in

an

accident.

Before

making

or

breaking

power

connections

in

your

system,

disconnect

the

vehicle

battery.

Confirm

that

your

head

unit

or

other

equipment

is

turned

off

while

connecting

the

input

jacks

and

speaker

terminals.

If

you

need

to

replace

the

power

fuse,

replace

it

only

with

a

fuse

identical

to

that

supplied

with

the

amplifier.

Using

a

fuse

of

a

different

type

or

rating

may

result

in

damage

to

your

audio

system

or

your

amplifier

which

is

not

covered

by

the

manufacturer's

warranty.

Mounting

the

amplifier

1.

Find

a

suitable

location

in

the

vehicle

in

which

to

mount

the

amplifier.

2.

Make

sure

there

is

sufficient

air

circulation

around

the

intended

mounting

location.

3.

Mark

the

location

for

the

mounting

hole

screws

by

positioning

the

amplifier

where

you

wish

to

install

it.

Use

a

scribe

or

mounting

screw,

inserted

through

each

of

the

amp's

mounting

holes,

to

mark

the

mounting

surface.

If

the

mounting

surface

is

carpeted,

measure

the

hole

centers

and

mark

with

a

felt

tip

pen.

4.

Drill

pilot

holes

in

the

mounting

surface

for

the

mounting

screws.

Place

the

amplifier

in

position,

and

attach

the

amplifier

to

the

mounting

surface

securely

using

screws.

SHOCK

HAZARD!

Do

not

open

the

case

of

this

product.

There

are

dangerous

voltages

present

within

the

unit.

There

are

no

user

-serviceable

parts

within

the

unit.

Connecting

the

amplifier

Before

doing

any

wiring,

look

through

this

manual

and

identify

the

diagrams

to

follow

for

power,

input

and

speaker

connections

for

your

particular

installation.

Be

sure

you

understand

all

the

connections

before

you

proceed.

1.

Connect

the

power

ground

terminal

to

the

closest

point

on

the

chassis

of

the

car.

Keep

this

ground

wire

to

less

than

39"

(100

cm)

in

length.

Use

8

gauge

(or

heavier)

wire.

2.

Connect

the

remote

terminal

to

the

remote

output

of

the

head

unit

using

16

gauge

(or

heavier)

wire.

3.

Connect

an

empty

fuse

holder

within

18"

(45

cm)

of

the

car

battery,

and

run

8

gauge

(or

heavier)

cable

from

this

fuse

to

the

amplifier

location.

4.

Check

that

the

fuse

holder

is

empty.

Then

connect

the

fuse

holder

to

the

"BATT+"

connection

on

the

amplifier.

5.

If

multiple

amplifiers

are

being

used

in

your

system,

either:

•

Run

a

separate

pair

of

cables

from

the

battery

and

a

chassis

ground

point

to

each

amplifier.

Each

(+)

cable

must

have

its

own

inline

fuse.

-or-

•

Run

a

#4

cable

from

the

fuse

holder

at

the

battery

to

a

distribution

block

at

or

near

the

amplifier's

location.

Then

run

separate

cables

from

the

amplifier

to

this

distribution

block

and

to

independent

chassis

ground

points.

6.

Connect

all

line

inputs

and

outputs

(if

used)

using

high

-quality

cables.

Connect

all

speakers,

following

the

diagrams

in

this

manual.

Be

sure

to

observe

proper

polarity

to

avoid

audio

phase

problems.

7.

Insert

fuse(s)

into

the

battery

fuse

holder(s).

8.

Recheck

all

connections

before

powering

up

the

amplifier.

9.

Set

all

level

controls

to

minimum

position,

and

set

all

crossover

controls/switches

to

the

desired

frequency

points.

10.

Power

up

the

head

unit

and

the

amplifier.

Then

set

the

volume

control

on

the

head

unit

to

about

3/4

volume,

and

adjust

the

amplifier's

input

level

control(s)

to

just

below

the

level

of

distortion.

11.

Further

fine

tuning

of

the

various

controls

may

be
