1. Battery disconnection
First, disconnect the power supply of the vehicle by removing the ground cable of the battery.
2. Ground connection
Connect the GND (ground) connection of the amplifier with the car chassis.
Keep this cable as short as possible (not longer than 50 cm) and use a suitable cross section
(AWG size 6 - 4). Make sure, that the connection with the vehicle chassis is free of paint,
dirt and dust.
3. +12 V Power connection
Connect the +12 V contact of the amplifier with the supply cable via a fuse directly to the
vehicle battery. Keep in mind, that the length of the cable from fuseholder to vehicle battery
has to be maximum 30cm..
For the amplifier to function at its best, use a high quality fuse holder and suitable cable
preferably AWG 6-4 cable.
This fuse protects the amplifier and the vehicle against the possibility of a short circuit in
the power cable.
4. Remote connection
Connect the REM-terminal of the amplifier to the remote-output (automatic 12 V
antenna-output) ofthe head unit. Use a 0,5 - 1,5 mm power cable.
a) Take extra care when making the connections. Make sure that no electrical cable,
gas tank, hydraulic brakes or other components get damaged.
b) Allow enough cooling and air circulation and avoid installing the unit in small closed
boxes or close to parts that heats up easily.
c) Keep the amplifier away from liquid, moisture, heat and foreign materials.
d) This amplifier can only be used in vehicles with 12V DC power supply.
e) Never install the power supply cable with other original vehicle wires (gas cables), fan
motors, control modules etc.
f) Install the signal cable (cinch cable) as well as speaker cable far away from the power
cables to avoid interference with music signals.
g) To avoid dangers of cables binding, squeezing or breaking, use the cables supplied with
your amplifier.
Please take the following precautions when installing your amplifier:

Using a dual amplifier configuration, the MASTER amplifier has total control over the SLAVE
amplifier. The positive terminal of the subwoofer's voice coil must be connected to the positive
terminal of the MASTER Amplifier and the negative terminal of the subwoofer'sm voice coil must
be connected to positive terminal of the SLAVE Amplifier. Since the dual amplifier configuration
has tremendous output potential, please ensure that your subwoofers can handle such a large
amount of power.
When utilizing the dual amplifier configuration, it is important to note that the connected
speakers' load cannot be lower than 2 ohms. Connecting a lower impedance load can
damage the amplifier and void your warranty.

This power amplifier features an efficient protection system to prevent damages due to overheating,
overvoltage, short-circuit and DC at the loudspeaker output. If there is an error or problem,
the protection LED will light up red.
To check the problem, first turn down all levels of the head unit and then turn it off.
