MAKING POWER GROUND AND REMOTE CONNECTIONS
Solid power and ground connections will improve both the performance and reliability of your new COBALT amplifier. Read the following
section carefully to ensure proper performance and safety.
WARNING: Dangerous amounts of current exist in an automobile's electrical system. Use caution when installing your amplifier.
POSITIVE POWER CONNECTION:
Before starting to run your power connections, make sure that you disconnect the negative (-) terminal of your battery.
This will prevent a short of your battery to ground. It will also help to keep you from getting shocked during the install
process.
It is very important to properly fuse your positive power connection. The fuse (or circuit breaker) should be placed in the
positive power connection no more than 18 inches from your battery (see diagram on previous page).
GROUND CONNECTION:
Your amplifier ground should be located as close as possible to your amplifier. Use the same gauge wire as your power con
nection. Find an area about the size of a quarter and use sandpaper to scrape the paint away to bare metal.
Terminate the ground wire with a ring connector. Using a sheet metal screw or a bolt, attach the ground to the bare
metal.
We recommended that you coat both sides of the connection with silicone or some similar material to prevent corrosion
and performance decreases.
REMOTE TURN ON LEAD:
Locate the lead on your headunit marked "remote" or "power antenna."
Connect your turn on wire to this lead and run it to your amplifier. Insert the wire to the connection marked REM.
