POWER AND GROUND
To ensure maximum output from your
RUBICON
Class A amplifier, use high
quality, low-loss power and ground cables and connections. The
RUBICON
Class A amplifiers will accept up to 4 gauge power and ground cables. Deter-
mine from the chart below the minimum gauge power and ground wire for your
application.
Use a high quality cable that will be easy to install and has minimal signal loss to
guarantee optimum performance.
SPEAKER CABLE
The
RUBICON
Class A amplifiers will accept up to 8 gauge speaker cable. Use
a high quality, flexible, multi-strand cable for best performance and longevity.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND FUSES
EXTERNAL
Like all audio components, the
RUBICON
Class A amplifiers must be fused near
the battery. A fuse or circuit breaker must be located within 18” of the batterv.
This will prevent a fire in the even of a shorted cable.
See the chart below to
determine the correct fuse value.
INTERNAL
The
RUBICON
Class A amplifiers are fused with an automotive-type fuse. In the
even of a blown power supply fuse, replace with the correct value fuse found in
the chart below. Never replace the fuse with a higher value than what is
supplied.
This may result in amplifier damage and will void
the
warranfy!
