4. WIREROUTINGANDCONNECTIONS
4.1 MAINPOWERWIRES
Runthepositivemainpowercable(„+12V“)directlyfromthepositiveterminalofthecarbattery
totheamplifier.Forprotectionofyourcaraudiosystemagainstelectricalfirehazards,resulting
froma short-circuitof themain powercabletochassisground amain fuseholdermustbe
insertedwithinthefirst30cmofthepositivemainpowercable.Theapplicablefusevalue
mustbematchedtothelimitationsofyourmainpowercableANDthecurrentdrawoftheampli-
fier–thereforechooseanappropriatefusevalue.
Attachthegroundcabletotheamplifier.Inmostcasesitwillbebesttokeepthegroundcable
asshortaspossible,i.e.tofindachassiscontactveryclosetotheamplifier.Thegroundpower
wiremusthavethesamecross-sectionasthepositivepowercable.Thecontactpointwherethe
groundwireisattachedto,mustbesolidandclean,i.e.freefromrustorpaint!
Tightenbothpowerinputterminalsoftheamplifier,anddoublecheckforperfectfitofbothmain
cableleads!
4.2 RCA&REMOTEWIRES
Carefullyruntheaudiosignalinterconnects,theremotewireand–ifapplicable-thecableof
thelowpasslevelremotecontrolfromthehead-unitordashboardtotheamplifier.Asmentioned
before,the audio signal cablesshouldalways be routed completely separatefromthe power
cables.Connecttheremote(turnon/turnoff)leadoftheheadunittotherespectiveREMterminal
oftheamplifier.NowyoucanconnecttheRCAinterconnectstotherespectiveoutputsofyour
head-unitandtothe inputsoftheamplifier.Pay attentiontoconnectthestereointerconnects
correspondingly,leftis1CH,rightisalways2CHa.s.o.

Note:Youcaninstalltheremotelowpasslevelremotecontrolinaconvenientpositionunderor
besidesthedashboard.
4.3 LOUDSPEAKERWIRES
Oncethespeakercableshavebeenrouted,turnloosethescrewsofthespeakerterminalbind-
ingpostsand–afterinsertingthestrippedspeakercables–re-tightenthescrews.Whenbaring
wires for connection, remove approximately 6-8mm of the insulation and after axially twisting
thewires,insertthebareendsintothecorrespondingspeakerterminaloutputontheamplifier.
Closetheelectricalcircuitbyinsertingthemainfuseandreconnectthenegativebatterypole.
Nowswitchonyourhead-unit.ThegreenOPERATINGLEDoftheamplifiershouldlight-up.If
theLEDlightsupred,yourinstallationiswrong!Immediatelyturnoffyourhead-unitandcare-
fullyre-checkallwiringsteps!
