If
the
length
of
the power and ground
cables
exceed 1
m,
or
if
you connect more than one
amplifier, a distribution block should
be used.

Connect all
equipment
to
the same ground
point
while
keeping wire

as
short
as
possible.
Ensure
that
you
install a correctly-rated

near the battery positive post.
Cautions
on wire lead
connections
When using third-party wire
cables
(power
supply
wire),
use
the
supplied screws
to
simplify the
connection. Refer
to
the description
below
for
the
proper procedure.
If
you are in
doubt
about
how
to
make this connection,
consult
your
dealer.
1.
Check
the
wire
size.

If
the wire gauge used
is
unknown,
ask
your
dealer.
2.
Remove the insulation from the ends
of
the
wire
leads
by
about
7-
10
mm
(9/32"-
13/32").

NOTES:
•
If
length
of
the exposed wire
is
too
short, a poor
connection may occur causing operation failure
or sound interruption.
•
On
the
other
hand,
if
the
length
is
too
long,
an
electrical short-circuit may occur.
3.
Tighten the set screw
with
the hexagon wrench
(included)
to
secure
the
lead.
(Fig.
9)
Before making this connection,
use
insulated
shrink tubing to cover any exposed wire
extending beyond
the
terminal.

Use
only
the
screws included.

•
For
safety reasons, connect
the
battery
leads last.
•
To
prevent disconnection
of
the
leads
or
dropping
of
the unit,
do
not
use
the
cabling
to
carry
the
unit.
