•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.

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.
