Installation Warnings and Tips
•Disconnect the negative (–) lead from your vehicle’s
battery.
•At the installation sites, locate and make a note of
all fuel lines, hydraulic brake lines, vacuum lines
and electrical wiring. Use extreme caution when
cutting or drilling in and around these areas.
•Choose a safe mounting location away from moisture.
•Make sure there is sufficient air circulation at the
mounting location for the amplifier to cool itself.
•Mount the amplifier, using the supplied hardware.

*CEA-2006A-compliant
0Speaker Output Connectors
•Connect the subwoofer to these terminals,
observing proper polarity. Either + or –
terminal may be used. Minimum total
impedance is 1 ohm.
1Fuses
•Replace only with the same type and rating.
2Power Input Connectors
•+12V: Connect to the positive terminal of the
vehicle’s battery. 8 AWG wire is recommended.
Install an appropriate fuse holder and fuse (40A
minimum) within 18 inches of the battery. Make
sure the wire is not damaged or pinched during
installation. Install protective grommets when
routing wires through the firewall or other sheet
metal.
•GND: Connect to the vehicle’s chassis. Refer to
the picture below.
•REM: Connect to the “Remote Out” lead from
the source unit or to a source of switched
12V+ (ACC).
3Aux Output Connectors (RCA)
•Nonfiltered pass-through output. Connect to
the input of an additional amplifier.
4Input Connectors (RCA)
•Connect to the RCA outputs from the source unit
or signal processor.
5Input-Level Control
•Used to match the input level of the amplifier
to the output level of the source unit.
•See 9for the adjustment procedure.
6Protect LED
•Illuminated under any of the following fault
conditions: battery over/under voltage, short
circuit in speaker wires, amplifier is too hot,
amplifier’s output circuit has failed (DC voltage
is present in the amplifier’s output).
7Low-Pass Filter Frequency Control
•12dB/octave low-pass filter,
variable from 32Hz to 320Hz.
•See Afor the adjustment procedure.
8Power On LED
•Illuminated when the amplifier is on.
9Setting Input Level
ATurn Input Level control counterclockwise to
6V (minimim).
BWith a dynamic music track playing, turn the
head unit’s volume control to the 3/4 position.
CTurn Input Level control clockwise until the
bass output is proportionate to the output of
the high-frequency speakers, according to
your preference.
DInput level is now adjusted correctly.
ASetting the Crossover

Amplifier Troubleshooting Guide
1. Status LED on Amplifier not Lit - Head Unit (Source) Turned ON
Verify: A. Remote turn-on wire from source to amplifier has proper voltage
B. Power (B+) connections at amplifier, terminal blocks, and battery are secure
C. Ground (GND) connections at amplifier and vehicle chassis are secure
D. Battery B+ fuse (if used) is OK
E. Amplifier fuse is OK
F. B+ at battery and B+ at amplifier has proper voltage
2. Status LED’s Lit, No Output from Speakers in Normal Operating Condition
Verify: A. RCA cables from amplifier to source are securely connected
B. Volume adjustment on amplifier is correctly adjusted
C. Source is ON and playing
3. Engine Noise From Speaker(s)
Turn source OFF, Disconnect RCA cables at amplifier. If noise stops, check equipment & cables leading
to amplifier.
Verify: A. RCA cables are of good quality with no breakage to internal shields
B. RCA cables from source to amplifier are not run alongside any power cables
4. Amplifier Output Distorted Music
Verify: A. Source output music to amplifier is not distorted
B. Source output sensitivity is correctly adjusted
5. Amplifier Shuts Down, Green LED’s are Lit - Amplifier is in Thermal Protection Mode
Verify: A. Amplifier is mounted with adequate air circulation around heatsinks or vents
B. Amplifier is not mounted under carpet or sealed enclosure
C. Speakers meet correct impedance for application (mono or stereo hookup)
6. Amplifier Does Not Turn ON, and Red LED is Lit Amplifier (and not Connected to a Shorted Speaker)
Verify: A. Speaker crossover (if used) is not defective
