FEATURE

Please take care following precautions when installing you amplifi er:
• Take care when making the connenctions. Make sure that no electrical, cable gas
tank, hydraulik breakes or other comconents ger demaged.
• Allow enough cooling and air circulation and anvoid installing the unit in small closed
boxes or close to parts that heats up easily.
• Keep the ampli er away from liquid, moisture, heat and foreign materials.
• This ampli er can only be used in vehicles with 12V DC power supply.
• Never install the power supply cable with other orignal vehicle wires (gas cables), fan
motors, control modules etc.
• Install the signal cable (cinch cable) as well as speaker cable far away from the power
cables to avoid interference with music signals.
• To avoid dangers of cables binding, squeeng or breaking, use the cables supplied with
your ampli er.
Battery disconnection
First, disconnect the power supply of the vehicle by removing the ground of battery.
Ground connection
Connect the GND (ground) connection of the ampli er with the car chassis. Keep this
cable as short as possible and use a suitable cross section (AWG size 6). Make sure, that
the connection with the vehicle chassis is free of paint, dirt and dust.
+12V Power connection
Connect the +12V contact of the ampli er with the supply cable via a fuse directly to the
vehicle battery. Keep in mind, that the lenght of the cable from fuseholder to vehicle bat-
tery has to be maximum 30cm.For the ampli er to function at its best, use a high quality
fuse holder and suitable cable preferably AWG 6-4 cable. This fuse protects the ampli er
and the vehicle against the possibility of a short circuit in the power cable.
Remote connection
Connect the REM-terminal of the ampli er to the remote-output (automatic 12 anten-
na-output) of the head unit. Use a 0,5 - 1,5 mm power cable.

Caution
TROUBLESHOOTING
This power ampli er is featured with an ef cient protection system to prevent any damages
such as overheating, overloading, short circuit and DC at the loudspeaker output. If the ampli-
 er reports such errors, protection LED will lightup red. Prior to checking the problem(s),  rst
turn all levels of the head unit and then turn it off.
