Congratulations on your purchase of a Quantum Audio
®
state-of-the-art power amplifier.
Your selection of a Quantum Audio
®
car audio product indicates a true appreciation of fine
musical reproduction. Whether adding to an existing system or including your Quantum
Audio
®
amplifier in a new system, you are certain to notice immediate performance
benefits.
A power amplifier’s performance is only as good as its installation. Proper installation will
maximize the system’s overall performance. It is recommended that you have our
product installed by an authorized Quantum Audio
®
retailer . . However, if you decide to
install it yourself, please carefully read through this manual and take your time to do a
quality installation.
Due to continuing product improvements and possible manual revisions, we recommend
checking our website for latest product information at www.quantumauio.net.
Exposure to high power sound system can cause hearing loss or damage.
Listening to your system at loud levels while driving, will impair your ability to
hear traffic sounds and emergency vehicles. Use common sense when listening
to your system.
IMPORTANT! Before making any connections, disconnect the car’s battery until
the installation is completed to avoid possible damage to the electrical system.

Fuse Amplifier’s Power Wire At The Battery
Be sure to fuse the power wire within 12” of the car's battery. This will protect the car's
battery in case of a short circuit between the power amplifier and battery. THIS IS A
MUST, t he amplifier's built-in fuse will only protect the power amplifier not the car's
battery!
Use High Grade Wire Connectors
T o ensure maximum power transfer and secure safe connections, it is recommended to
use high grade barrier spades (for connection at amplifier) and terminal rings (for
connection at battery).
Do Not Run Any Wires Underneath Vehicle
Exposed wires have a chance of being cut or damaged. It is best to run all wires through
the vehicle under the carpet and/or side panels. This lends to a cleaner installation and
less risk of damage.
Use Caution When Mounting Amplifier
Remember there are many electrical wires, gas lines, vacuum lines, brake lines as well
as a gas tank in the automobile. Make sure you know where they are when mounting the
amplifier to avoid puncturing lines, shorting wires or drilling holes in the gas tank.
Run Signal Wires Away From Electrical Wires
To avoid possibility of induced noise from the car's electrical system (i.e. popping noises
or engine noise), run wires away from the car's electrical wiring.
Make All Ground Wires As Short As Possible And At The Same Point
In order to reduce the chance of ground loops (i.e. engine noise), make the grounding
wire as short as possible to reduce the wire's resistance. Also, when using multiple
components, make sure all units are grounded
at the same point.
Avoid Sharp Edges When Running The Wires
T o avoid the possibility of power, signal or speaker shorts, be careful not to allow the
amplifier’s wires to come in contact with sharp edges. Use a grommet to protect the wire
when running through the fire wall .
