Power cable size
It is critical to use the proper power
and ground cable. Select the size
listed here for your amplier model.
Always use high quality copper
cable. Visit our website for multi amp
system cable recommendations.
Properly route power,
speaker and RCA cables
through the vehicle.
Choose a mounting location
that will provide adequate air
ventilation. Mount the amplier to
a secure surface. Do not mount
the amplier upside down.
Attach the chassis ground, +12V and amp turn on
wire. It is important to make sure these connections
are very secure.
REM TURN ON / DC SENSE ON SWITCH
There are two methods of switching the amplier on and off. Select the appropriate
position suited for your application.
REM TURN ON This will turn on the amplier when a +12v switched power typically
from a source unit, is connected to the Amp Turn On - BLUE wire on the main power
connection harness.
DC SENSE The DC SENSE is for use with source units that do not offer RCA
outputs.
PLEASE NOTE: If switch is set to DC sense on, the amplier will not turn
on via the ampliers remote turn on wire. So if amplier will not turn on
please view this switch on the top control panel and adjust accordingly.
For more information on DC Sense and wiring visit MBQUART.com

Connect the power cable to the
positive battery terminal. The
power cable must be fused
within 18 inches of the battery
terminal.
Re-connect the negative
battery terminal making sure it

Connect the speaker cables to
the speaker output connectors.
Follow the diagram below
that best ts your speaker

Congratulations on your choice of a MBQuart amplier. This “Quick Start
Installation” guide is meant to help you “hook up” and play music. For more
detailed information, on system setting, speaker and subwoofer conguration
and full specications by model please visit our website at www.MBQuart.com

Setup
Quick Start
Installation Guide
The illustrations below describe the various controls. Refer to
the illustration that matches your amplier.
The level control purpose is to match the output of your source signal to the
amplier. Refer to the section C for detailed instructions.
This switch will set the amplier to have a full frequency output or to lter out high
or low frequencies.
The Bass EQ control will increase the power output at 45Hz for more pronounced
bass. Exercise caution when using this control. Increase the level in small
amounts until distortion is noticed, then back off a little.
1. If possible, with the source unit off, conrm that the primary volume control is
turned down (counter clockwise).
2. Turn on the source unit (CD, or MP3 player). Re-conrm that the volume is
turned down. Make sure the source unit controls; balance, fader, bass and
treble are all set to center or “0” adjustment. Make sure that the green LED on
the end of the amplier is illuminated.
3. Play a clean musical selection of which you are very familiar. CD is preferred.
Do not use radio signals for level setting. Hit play and start turning the volume
of the source unit up.
4. Stop increasing the source unit volume when you reach 3/4 (about 75%) or until
you hear speakers begin to slightly start producing distortion.
5. Increase the amplier gain (clockwise) until distortion is heard, then back
the level down (counter clockwise) until the distortion is eliminated. Small
adjustments may need to be made to balance the levels of multiple ampliers.

This is a critical step to insure your amplier
is properly adjusted to match the signal
output level of your source unit.
