electrical connections before installing the unit.
• Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after installation.

• It is recommended to connect to the speakers with maximum power of more than 50 (both at
the rear and at the front, with an impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω). If the maximum power is less than
50 , change “AMP GAIN” setting to prevent the speakers from being damaged (see page 13 of the
INSTRUCTIONS).

insulating tape.
