RCA Cables
• At least 4 gauge cable should be used for the ground connection to the amplier.
• The amplier ground should be connected directly to the chassis of the vehicle, to
bare metal.
• The cable length should be kept to an absolute minimum.
• It is not recommended that you connect the ground cable to the vehicles seatbelts
anchor point.
• At least 4 gauge cable should be used for the power connection to the amplier.
• The power cable should be taken directly from the battery. Rubber grommets should be
used when passing through any bulkheads to prevent the cable from becoming chaffed
or cut.
• It is vital that a fuse / circuit breaker (of at least equal value to the one tted in the
amplier) is placed inline with the power cable and is no further than 18 inches away
from the battery.
• Please ensure that the fuse is not tted until the entire installation procedure is complete.
• The PowerBox ampliers feature an auto turn on circuit called Autosense.
• This circuit allows the amplier to switch on and off without a remote turn on wire
when using high level input, for low level input (RCA) it will still be necessary to
connect the remote turn on wire from the headunit.
• When the connected source (headunit) is turned on the amplier will turn on
automatically, after the connected source (headunit) is turned off the amplier will
shut down.
• Depending on the model of your headunit and the number of speakers you
wish to power you will have to run either one, two or three RCA cables from the
source to the amplier.
• Please take extra care when running these cables from the source to the amplier.
Ensure that they are placed away from all items that can generate any interference,
wiring harnesses etc.
• It is recommended that the RCA cables should be run on opposite sides of the car
to the previously installed power cables if possible, to avoid the cable picking up
interference.
NOTE : When using high level input it is not necessary to connect the remote turn on wire.
Do not connect both high level and low level input at the same time.
