BEFORE THE CONNECTION
For professional installation of a sound system, appropriate wiring kits are available in ca audio retail stores. Attend the
sufficient profile section (at least 25 mm2), the suitable fuse rating and the conductivity of the cables when you
purchase your wiring kit. Clean and remove rust-streaked and oxidized areas on the contact point of the battery and
ground connection. Make sure that all screws are screwed on tight after installation because loose connections may
cause malfunctions, insufficient power supply and interferences.
GND
Connect this GROUND terminal with a suitable contact ground point on the vehicle’s chassis. The ground wire
must be as short as possible and must be connected to a blank metallic point at the vehicle’s chassis. Ensure
that this ground point has a stable and safe electric connection to the negative “-” pole of the battery. Check
this ground wire from the battery to the ground point if possible and enforce it, if required. Use a ground wire
with a sufficient cross section and the same size like plus (+12V) power supply wire.
REM
Connect the turn-on signal (e.g. automatic antenna) or the turn-on remote signal of your headunit with the
REM-terminal of the amplifier. Use a suitable cable with a sufficient cross section (0.5mm2). Thereby the
amplifier will turn on or off automatically with your head-unit.
BATT+12V
Connect the BATT+12V-termical with the +12V pole of the vehicle’s battery. Use a suitable cable with a
sufficient cross section and install a additional in-line fuse. For safety reason the distance between the
fuseblock and the battery must be shorter than 30 cm. Do not install the fuse into the fuseblock until the
installation is completed.
The GAIN (LEVEL INPUT) controller adjust the input sensitivity of the amplifier to align the audio signal from
the head unit. The input sensitivity is adjustable from 0.28 to 6.1 Volts.
