Installation
6.
Prepare the
REM
turn-on wire for connection
to
the amplifier by stripping 1/2"
of
insulation
from the wire end. Insert the bared wire into the
REM
terminal and tighten the set screw
to
secure the cable into place. Connect the other end
of
the
REM
wire
to
a switched 12 volt
positive source. The switched voltage is usually taken from the source unit's accessory lead.
If the source unit does not have this output available, the recommended solution is
to
wire a
mechanical switch
in
line with a 12 volt source
to
activate the amplifier.
7. Securely mount the amplifier
to
the vehicle
or
amp rack. Be careful not
to
mount the
amplifier on cardboard
or
plastic panels. Doing so may enable the screws
to
pullout
from
the panel due
to
road vibration
or
sudden vehicle stops.
8. Connect the source signal
to
the amplifier by plugging the RCA cables/high level inputs into
the input jacks at the amplifier.
9. Connect the speakers. Strip the speaker wires 1/2" and insert into the speaker terminal
and tighten the set screw
to
secure into place. Be sure
to
maintain proper speaker polarity.
DO
NOT chassis ground any
of
the speaker leads as unstable operation may result.
10. Perform a final check
of
the completed system wiring
to
ensure that all connections are
accurate. Check all power and ground connections for frayed wires and loose connections
which could cause problems.
NOTE: Follow the diagrams for proper signal polarity.
& CAUTION:
& CAUTION:
These amplifiers are not recommended for impedance loads below
2 Q stereo and/or 4 Q bridged (mono).
Use only one input configuration. Using both the RCA and High Level
inputs will cause undesirable operation.
