The
X50s
amplifier
requires
8
gauge
power
wires
for
both
+12v
and
ground
connections.
The
screws
in
the
amplifiers
terminal
strip
must
be
very
tight.
Always
make
the
ground
connection
first
when
installing
thls
amplifier
and
disconnect
ground
last
when
removing
It
from
the
system.
Connect
the
ground
wire,
which
is
24
inches
or
less,
to
a
structural
chassis
member.
Be
sure
this
connection
Is
to
bare
metal
and
securely
screwed
or
bolted.
(It
Is
not
recommended
to
run
the
ground
wire
to
the
battery.)
Run
the
positive
wire
directly
to
the
positive
terminal
of
the
battery
and
use
a
60
amp
fuse
within
18
inches
of
the
battery.
This
fuse
protects
the
wire
run
from
the
battery.
Run
the
power
and
signal
wires
on
opposite
sides
of
the
car.
This
helps
to
reduce
nolse
in
the
signal
wires
between
the
source
and
+
the
amplifier.
The
speaker
connections
can
accept
up
to
8
gauge
wire
to
reduce
losses
In
long
runs.
The
cover
panel
allows
for
two
wiring
methods;
standard
and
stealth.
The
standard
method
requires
the
removal
of
a
break-away
panel,
as
shown
in
the
following
diagram.
