AMPLIFIER WIRING
1. Disconnect the vehicle's battery negative (-) terminal before
making any power connections.
2. Reinforce the battery ground: Use an 8 gauge wire ground to
ensure an adequate ground (See Detailed Power Connections.)
3. Connect the power cable directly to the positive (+> terminal
CAUTION: DO NOT connect amplifier power wire to fuse box,
4. Use a fuse within 18 inches of the battery.
5. Make sure that all connections are clean and properly secured.
(Failure to do so may result in damage to the components in the
system.)
6. Make sure the power wire enters the vehicle safely. Always us®
a grommet when routing wire through metal.
7. Run wire through the vehicle in appropriate areas. Avoid power
routing wires near the fuse box or other audio cables and
sensitive electronics (They can radiate noise into your power
wire). Never get power from the fuse box, this can cause noise
problems and other electrical problems.
8. Once you have selected the mounting location, mount the
amplifier using the four self-tapping screws provided. Tighten
screws securely.
CAUTION: Do not drill into the fuel tank, fuel lines or
through electrical wiring!
9. Connect power wire to the power plug supplied with the
amplifier to the chassey of the vechicle. Make sure connection is
short and secure as possible.
10. Ground the amplifier. Be sure the ground is secure to prevent
power loss due to resistance caused by a poor ground.
11. Make speaker connections. Do not allow the speaker leads to
come in contact with each other, or to ground when the
amplifier is on. This will cause a noise problem, and may cause
internal damage to the amplifier.
