♦ When making connections, be sure that each connection is clean and
secure. Insulate final connections with electrical tape or shrink tubing.
Failure to do so may damage your equipment.
♦ A secure, clean ground connection is critical to the performance of your
Clarion car audio amplifier. Use the shortest ground wire possible to
minimize resistance and avoid noise problems.
♦ Refer to Figure 7 when making electrical connections. Connect the
amplifier’s positive (+) power lead via a fuse directly to the positive (+)
terminal on the battery. Do not connect this wire to the car’s fuse panel.
Use the power cable calculator chart (see Figure 8 on page 12) to
determine the appropriate wire size for the amplifier’s positive (+)
power lead and the same-gauge black-insulated wire for the ground.
