OPERATION
GND(-)=GROUND CONNECTION
Connect the GNDterminal to thechassis ground ofyour car andtake care ofbest
electric and mechaniccontact. In doingso, drill ahole in tothe car chassisnear
the amplifier thenremove color,dirt or anyother substance fromthe ground point.
After that fastenthe cable endwith added ringterminal by usinga screw. Ensure
that the groundconnection is asshort as possibleand that thecable diameter is
sufficient ( min4 mm" ).Route the ground cables from the radio and allother
equipment parts. likeequalizer. active crossover network orother amplifiers, to
the same groundpoint.
+12V=POWER SUPPLY
Connect the +12Vterminal to thepositive pole ofthe battery with a lead cable
and add afuse in tothe power cablein a distanceof not morethen 30 cmfrom the
battery. The lead cables'sdiameter should beat least 4mm' for alength of 3m
and 6 mm"for a lengthof 6m.
REM(ON/OFF)REMOTE CONTROL
Connect the REMterminal to theautomatic antenna connectorof your car radio.
Now when turningon and off your carradio. the amplifierautomatically switches
ON and OFF. Acable diameter of0.5mm is sufficient.
FUSE
The amplifier isequipped with aplug-in auto fuseprotecting the setagainst fault
conditions. Do notuse a fusewith a highervalue and neverbridge the fuseover,
as this maylead to irreparabilitydamage so thatant any claim for warranty is
denied.
No Function:
The connection cableis not connectedcorrectly ( =terminal BATT/GND /REM).
Ensure that all connections and mechaniccontact and that the jacket has been
removed. The fuseis defective-pay attentionto the correct value of anew fuse!
No Sound:
Speaker cable orspeaker plug arenot connected correctly.
No Sound /RedLED Protection Shines:
The plus andminus wires ofthe speaker cablehave contact, thuseliminate the
short circuit. Ifyou use a 2 Ohm speakerin stereo mode, a 4 Ohm speaker in
bridge mode or tri-mode and these is overloaded, thenturn the gaincontrol to
"min " untilthe operation isfree of trouble.
Poor Sound Quality( Distortions ):
The speakers areoverloaded, therefore turn down the volumelevel and check
the volume controlpositions.
No Stereo SoundAndA WeakBass:
Speaker cables (+)and (-) aremixed up, unitwired out ofphase.
t
TROUBLE SHOOTING
PRECAUTIONS
FUSE REPLACEMENT
If the fuseblows, check thepower connection andreplace the fuse. If the fuse
blows again afterreplacement, there maybe an internalmalfunction. In thiscase,
consult your dealer.
WARNING:
Use the specifiedamperage fuse. Useof a higheramperage fuse maycause
serious damage.
PROTECTION CIRCUIT:
This amplifier isprovided with aprotection circuit whichoperates in thefollowing
cases when:
the unit isoverheated.
the speaker terminalsare short circuited.
This unit isdesigned for negativeground 12V DCoperation only.
Use speakers withan impedance of2 or 4Ohms (2 to 4Ohm when usedas
bridging amplifier)
Avoid installingthe unit where:
-It would besubject to hightemperatures, such asfrom direct sunlightor hot air
from the heater.
-It would beexposed to rainor moisture.
-It would besubject to dustor dirt.
If your caris parked indirect sunlight andthere is aconsiderable rise in
temperature inside thecar, allowthe unit tocool offbefore operation.
When installing theunit horizontally, be surenot to coverthe heatsink fins with
the floor carpet.
If this unitis placed tooclose to thecar radio, aninterference may occur. In this
case, separate theamplifier from thecar radio.
This power amplifieremploys a protectioncircuit to protectthe transistors and
speakers if theamplifier m lfunctions. Do notattempt to test the protection
circuits by coveringthe heatsink orconnecting improper loads.
Do not usethe unit with a weak autobattery as itsoptimum performance
depends on anormal battery supplyvoltage.
For safety reasons,keep the volumeof your caraudio system moderateso that
you can stillhear normal traffic sounds outsideyour car.

POWER CONNECTION LEADS
Connect the +12V power input leadonly after allother leads havebeen
connected.
Be sure toconnect the groundwire of theunit securely toa metal partof the car.
A loseconnection may causea malfunction ofthe amplifier.
REM: Theunit is turnedon by applying+12 Voltsto this terminal. This terminal
does not draw heavy current like the Power Terminalsso a thinner
connecting wire isacceptable. Standard 18GAUGE is fine and the standard
color is yellow.lf the radiois equipped witha PowerAntenna control wire, it can
drive this terminal. If thePower Antennawire is alreadyin use, you can still
splice into it.With this method,the unit willturn on automaticallywith the radio.
Use the powersupply lead with a fuse attachedwhose value isthe same as
original fuse.
Place the fusein the powersupply lead asclose as possibleto the car battery .
During a fullpower operation, maximum current will runthrough the system
Therefore, make surethat the leadsto be connectedto the +12V and GND
terminals of the unit respectively mustbe larger than 10-Gauge (AWG.10).

POWER
POWER CONNECTION
The battery terminal(+12V) must beconnected directly tothe positive terminalof
the vehicle batteryto provide anadequate voltage source and minimize noise.
Connecting the batteryterminal lead toany other point(such as the fuse block )
will reduce thepower output andmay cause noiseand distortion. Use only #10
gauge or thicker(smaller gauge #) wire forthis lead andconnect it tothe terminal
of the batteryafter all otherwiring is completed.
GROUND CONNECTION
The ground terminal(GND) connection isalso critical tothe correct operationof
the amplifier.Use a wireof the samegauge as thepower connection (#10 or thic-
ker)and connect itbetween the groundterminal (GND ) of the amplifier and a
metal part ofthe vehicle closeto the mountinglocation. Thiswire should be as
short as possibleand any paintor rust atthe grounding pointshould be scraped
away to providea clean metalsurface to whichthe end ofthe ground wirecan be
screwed or bolted.
REMOTE TURN-ON CONNECTION
The amplifier isturned on byapplying +12V tothe remote turn-onterminal (REM).
The wire leadto this terminalshould be connectedto the "Auto-Antenna" lead
from the carstereo which willprovide the +12Vonly when thecar stereo isturned
on. If thecar stereo doesnot provide anAuto-Antenna" lead,the remote turn-on
lead may bewired to an"Accessory " or "Radio "terminal inthe car's fuse block.
This will turnthe amplifier onand offwith the ignitionkey,regardless of whether
the car stereois on oroff. Theremote turn-on leaddoes not carrylarge currents.
So #20 gaugewire may beused for thisapplication.
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
Depending on thetype and numberof speakers usedwith the amplifier, wire them
to the speaker terminals as per the appropriate wiringdiagram. For most
applications #18gauge wireshould be usedfor the speakerleads but inno case
thinner than #20gauge. For leadsin excess of10 feet #16 gauge is recommen-
ded. When wiringthe speakers, paycareful attention tothe polarity ofthe termi-
nals on thespeakers and makecertain they correspondto the polarity of the c-
orresponding terminals onthe amplifier.Do not groundany speaker leadsto the
chassis of thevehicle.
INPUT CONNECTIONS
This amplifier featureslow-level input capability.
If the carstereo does notprovide low-level outputs,the amplifier may be connec
-ted via thespeaker (high-level) outputsfrom the stereowith aAUTOCRAFT line
converter.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

After the amplifierhas been installedand all connectionshave been made careful
-lyand securely, turn theradio on sothat the amplifieris switched on automatically.
After a shortpower-on period, theamplifier reaches itsfull performance.
Now turn upthe volume slowlyusing the volumecontrol of theradio. If there is no
sound or onlya distorted replay, switch offthe radio immediately, the amplifierwill
also switch offautomatically,and check ifall connections havebeen made correctly.
POWER=LED POWER INDICATOR
After the orderlyconnection of thethree power terminals,the LED indicatorshines
green and goesout with off.
PROTECT =LED PROTECTIONINDICATOR
This set is equipped with anoverload protection, immediately upon overloading
due to shortcircuit or muchincreased temperature theoverload protection is
activated and thered LED indicatoris shining. Throughthis the amplifieris
protected against damage.In case ofthe thermal protectiona certain shortcooling
time must beallowed after whichthe amplifier automaticallyresumes operation.
LEVEL CONTROL
The input levelcontrol allows thesystem to workwell within awide range of output
level. Choose theadjustment in theway that you achieve a sound most possibly
without any distortion.as a guidelinethe following procedure is recommended:
If you useseveral amplifier,the adjustment hasto be madefor each setseparately,
tune up thevolume of yourcar radio to2/3 of themaximum volume.
Now turn thegain control ofthe amplifier from" Min " to " Max" direction until you
can hear distortions. Then turn the levelcontrol a littleback to "Min ". The gain
control adjustment isfinished now.
Attention! If you use2 Ohm speakersin stereo mode.Tri-mode or4 Ohm speakers
in bridge modeand the overloadprotection is triggered, turn the gain control to
" Min "direction, until theoperation is freeof trouble.
HIGH PASS ANDLOW PASS CONTROLS
This amplifier has controls for makinggood sound
combination.
high pass andlow pass
OPERATION INTERFERENCE
Use only ascreened audio cablefor the wiringbetween " lowlevel in " of the
amplifier and RCAor DIN outputof the radio.
Lay the signal, speaker and power cables separately with enough distance
from one anotherand also fromeach other carcable. lf notpossible, you can
lay the circuitand ground cable together with the serial cables. Audio and
speaker cable shouldbe as faraway from theseas possible. The REM cableto
the automatic antennaoutput of the radio can belaid together with the signal
cables.
Avoid groundloops by laying the ground wiringof all componentsto a center
point in astar-like way. You can find the best central point in measuring the
voltage directly atthe battery. Now comparethis voltage valuewith the chosen
ground point andthe (+) terminal of the amplifier. lf the measured voltage in
only less different you've found thecorrect central.Otherwise youhave to look
for another point. Youshould measure withthe ignition being switched on and
additionally switched on other electronics (rear window heating and light ).
If there arepickups from external electrical sources into the speaker cables,
divide the coreleads and twistthem together.
If there arenoises from the car electronics. Add an interferencesuppression
choke to thepower wiring .
If there are huming noises, use thicker ground cablesor add furtherground
cables to thechassis.
Toreduce contact resistance and bad andloose contacts, pleasetin the cable
ends or use multi core cable ends, spade terminals or others. GoldPlated
spade terminal are free of corrosion and have thelowest contact resistance.
Should all these measures to without any success. theuse of aground loop
isolator may solvethe problem.
All cables aresources of interference. The power cable and RCA audio cable
are very proneto interference; theremote cables areless prone . There is often
interference caused bythe generator (piping), ignition ( cracking) or other car
electronic parts. Mostof these problemscan be eliminatedby correct and careful
cabling. In doingso, these arethe following guidelines:
