6. Power Connections
Power Cable
● Atleastan10gaugecableshouldbeusedforboththepower andthegroundconnectionsto
theamplifier.
● Thepowercableshouldbetakendirectlyfromthebattery.Rubbergrommetsshouldbeused
whenpassingthroughanybulkheadstopreventthecablefrombecomingchaffedorcut.
● Itisvitalthatafuse/circuitbreaker(ofatleastequalvaluetotheonefittedontheamplifier)
isplacedinlinewiththepowercableandisnofurtherthaneighteeninchesawayfromthe
battery.
● Pleaseensurethatthefuseisn’tfitteduntiltheentireinstallationprocedureiscomplete.
Ground Cable
● Thegroundcableneedstocarrythesamecurrentasthepowercable.Againatleastan10
gaugecableshouldbeused.
● Theamplifiergroundshouldbeconnecteddirectlytothechassisofthevehicle,tobare
metal.(notpaintedsurface)
● Thecablelengthshouldbekepttoanabsoluteminimum.
● Itisnotrecommendedthatyouconnectthegroundcabletothevehiclesseatbelts.
Remote Turn On
● A minimumof18gaugecableshouldbeusedforthisconnection.
● Thecableshouldberunwithexactlythesamecareandattentionasthepowercableand
takenbacktothesourceandjoinedtotheremotecableprovidedon theheadunit.
● Iftheheadunitdoesnothavearemoteturnoncablethena12vsupplyshouldbeused.This
willrequireaswitchtobefittedinlinetoenabletheamplifiertobeturnedonandoff.
NOTE:Rememberthatifthisswitchisleftonyouwillflattenthecar
battery.
RCA Cables
● A pairofRCA cablesshouldberunfromtheheadunittotheFLIamplifier.
● Pleasetakeextracarewhenrunningthesecablesfromthesourcetotheamplifier.Ensure
thattheyareplacedawayfromallitemsthatcangenerateanyinterference,wiringharnesses
etc.
● ItisrecommendedthattheRCA cablesshouldberunontheoppositesiteofthecartothe
previouslyinstalledpowercables.
