I NSTALLATION
• For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the car battery prior to beginning the installation
Trunk Mounting
Mounting the amplifier vertically on a surface with the fin grooves running up and down will provide the best cooling for the amplifier.
Passenger Compartment Mounting
Mounting the amplifier in the passenger compartment will work as long as you provide a sufficient amount of air for the amplifier to cool
itself. If you are going to mount the amplifier under the seat of the vehicle, you must have at least 1” (2.54cm) of air gap around the
amplifier’s heatsink.
B+ Terminal
The B+ cable MUST be fused 18” (45cm) or less from the vehicle’s battery. Prepare the cable ends and install the fuseholder under the
hood. Connections should be water tight.
GND Terminal
Prepare a length of cable to be used for the ground connection. Prepare the chassis ground by scraping any paint from the metal surface
and thoroughly clean the area of all dirt and grease. Fasten the cable to the chassis using a screw.
REM Terminal
Connect the REM wire to a switched 12 volt positive source. The switched signal is usually taken from the source unit’s auto antenna or
the accessory lead. If the source unit does not have these outputs available, the recommended solution is to wire a mechanical switch in-
line with a 12 volt source to activate the amplifier.
Input Connectors
Follow the diagram and connect the appropriate signal cables to the input terminals of the amplifier. Be sure that the signal cables are
routed close together and away from any high current wires.
Speaker Output Terminals
Connect the speaker system to the amplifier by inserting the wires into the corresponding output terminals and tighten the set screws.
Follow the diagram for proper signal polarity. DO NOT chassis ground any of the speaker wires as unstable amplifier operation may
result. CAUTION: This amplifier is not recommended for impedance loads below 2Ωstereo and/or 4Ωbridged (mono).
Gain Control(s)
The amplifier is factory set for optimum dynamic range with a 500mV input signal. The system levels may be adjusted by ear when using
a source unit with higher or lower output levels by using the following procedure.
1. Turn the gain control to minimum (counterclockwise)
2. Play a music track with high dynamic content and turn up the source unit to at least 3/4 volume
3. Slowly increase the gain and set it just below audible distortion or until reaching a comfortable hearing threshold (whichever occurs
first)

I NSTALLATION
• Pour votre sécurité, deéconnectez la borne négative de la batterie du véhicule avant de commencer l’installation.
Montage dans l’habitacle
Monte el amplificador verticalmente con las lineas del radiador orientadas de arriba hacia abajo. De esta manera conseguira la mejor
ventilacion.
Montaje en el Compartimento de Pasajeros
Monter l’amplificateur dans l’habitacle ne pose aucun problème, du moment qu’il y ait assez d’air pour le refroidir. Si vous montez l’ampli en
dessous du siège, prévoyez 3 cm d’air autour du radiateur.
Terminal B+
Il est impératif qu’il y ait un fusible sur le câble pour la connexion à la masse. Préparez le châssis en grattant la peinture de la surface métallique
et nettoyez la saleté et l’huile. Attachez le câble au châssis avec une vis.
Terminal GND
Préparez une longueur de câble pour la connexion à la masse. Préparez le châssis en grattant la peinture de la surface métallique et nettoyez la
saleté et l’huile. Attachez le câble au châssis avec une vis.
Terminal REM
Connectez le fil REM à une commande 12 volts positive de la source. La commande 12 volts est habuituellement prise sur la sortie antenne
électrique de la source ou la commande accessoire. Si al source ne dispose pas de ces sorties, nous vous recommandons d’installer un
interrupteur qui fournira un positif 12 volts au REM de l’amplificateur.
Connecteurs d’entrée
Suivez le diagramme et connectez les câbles de signalisation appropriés aux terminaux d’entrée de l’amplificateur. Assurez-vous que les câbles
de signalisation sont bien acheminés à proximité les uns des autres et suffisamment éloignés de fils électriques à haute intensité.
Terminaux de sortie du haut-parleur
Connectez les haut-parleurs à l’amplificateur en introduisant les fils dans les terminaux de sortie correspondant et en serrant les vis e calage.
Suivez le diagramme pour trouver la bonne polarité de signalisation NE mettez à la terre, au châssis, AUCUN des fils du haut-parleur car cela
risquerait d’entraîner un fonctionnement instable de l’amplificateur.
ATTENTION: cet amplificateur n’est pas recommandé pour des charges d’impédance inférieures à 2 stéréo et/ou 4 biporte (mono).
Réglage(s) du gain
L’ampificateur a été réglé en usine pour une gamme optimum de variations de volume avec une signalisation d’entrée de 500mV. Vous pouvez
ajuster, à l’oreille, les niveaux du système, lorsque vous utilisez une unité de source dotée de niveaux de rendement de sortie inférieurs ou
supérieurs par le biais de la procédure suivante.
1. Réglez le gain sur le minimum (dans le sens contraire des aiguilles d’une montre)
2. Choisissez un morceau de musique comprenant une gamme élevée de variations de volume et réglez le volume de l’unité de source jusqu’à
trois quart, au moins, du volume possible
3. Augmentez doucement le gain et réglez-le juste en-dessous d’une distorsion perceptible à l’oreille ou jusqu’à l’atteinte d’un seuil d’écoute
agréable (selon ce qui est atteint en premier)

E INBAU
• Zur Sicherheit klemmen Sie den Negativ-Pol der Batterie während des gesamten Einbaues ab.
Im Fahrzeugkofferraum
Der vertikale Einbau der Endstufen, das bedeutet, daβdie Kühlrippen von oben nach unten verlaufen, gibt dem Verstärker die beste Kühlung.
Auf der Beifahrerseite
Sollte der Verstärker auf der Beifahrerseite montiert werden, so ist es sehr wichtig für eine ausreichende Kühlung zu sorgen. Sollte der Verstärker z.B. unter
dem Beifahrersitz montiert werden, sollte dem Kühlkörper mindestens ein Luftspalt von 3 cm bleiben, um so für eine ausreichende Kühlung zu sorgen.
B+ Anschluβ
Die Plus-Leitung MUβca. 40 cm nach dem Plus-Pol der Batterie abgesichert sein. Preparieren Sie die Kabellängen und montieren Sie den
Sicherungshalter im Motorraum. ALLE Verbindungen müssen wasserdicht sein.
GND Anschluβ
Preparieren Sie Ihr Kabel für die negativ Leitung (Erdung). Preparieren Sie die Anschluβstelle des Erdungskabels, indem Sie das Metall gründlich reinigen
und vom Lack befreien. Befestigen Sie nun die Erdung an dieser Stelle mit einer Schraube.
REM Anschluβ
Verbinden Sie das Ein-und Ausschaltungskontroll-Kabel mit Ihrem Radio (12 Volt positiv). Normalerweise verwenden Sie hierfür die Ant.-Remote. Sollte
Ihr Radio diesen Anschluβnicht besitzen, so verwenden Sie eine 12 Volt Spannung, die Sie durch einen Schalter ein- und ausschalten können.
Eingangs-Anschlüsse
Beachten Sie den Anschlussplan und verbinden Sie die Signalkabel mit den Eingangs-Anschlüssen des Verstärkers. Seien Sie sicher, daβdie Kabel dicht
zusammen und entfernt von stromführenden Kabeln liegen.
Lautsprecher Ausgänge
Verbinden Sie das Lautsprechersystem mit dem Verstärker, indem Sie die Kabel in die entsprechenden Anschlüsse stecken und verschrauben. Beachten
Sie hierbei den Anschlussplan, um eine korrekte Polarität zu gewährleisten. Erden Sie niemals eine der Lautsprecherleitung auf die Masse des
Fahrzeuges. Achtung: Die minimale Last von 2ΩStereo und/oder 4Ωgebrückt (Mono) darf nicht unterschritten werden.
Eingangsempfindlichkeit
Der Verstärker ist Werksseitig auf eine Eingangsspannung von 500mV eingestellt. Die Eingangsempfindlichkeit kann nach Gehör verstellt werden, wenn
die Ausgangsspannung des Steuergerätes höher oder niedriger ist. Gehen Sie wie folgt vor.
1. Drehen Sie die Eingangsempfindlichkeit auf ein Minimum (gegen den Uhrzeigersinn).
2. Spielen Sie einen Musiktitel mit einer sehr hohen Dynamik und drehen Sie die Lautstärkekontrolle des Steuergerätes auf 3/4 der Maximallautstärke.
3. Jetzt verstellen Sie die Eingangsempfindlichkeit des Verstärkers soweit (im Uhrzeigersinn drehen), bis Sie eine Verzerrung des Signals wahrnehmen.
Danach sollte die Empfindlichkeit wieder soweit zurück gedreht werden (gegen den Uhrzeigersinn), bis die Verzerrungen verschwinden.

I NSTALLAZIONE
• Per sicurezza, scollegare il polo netativo della batteria dell’auto prima di iniziare l’installazione.
Nel Bagagliaio
Montando l’amplificatore su una superficie in verticale con le alette direzionate dall’alto verso il basso si garantirá un miglior
raffreddamento dell’amplificatore.
Nel’abitacolo
Montare l’amplificatore nell’abitacolo si avrá un funzionamento regolare se si garantisce un flusso d’aria sufficiente. Per l’installazione
sotto un sedile, é necessario avere uno spazio di almeno 3 cm attorno a tutto l’amplificatore.
Terminale B+ (cavo positivo)
Il cavo positivo deve essere protetto da un fusibile a non piú di 45 cam dalla batteria. Terminare il cavo e installare il fusibile nel vano
motore. Tutte le connessioni devono essere a prova d’acqua.
Terminal GND (cavo negativo)
Decidere la lunghezza del cavo e terminarlo. Preparare la massa grattando la vernice dal telaio dell’auto ed eliminando tracce di olio o
sporco. Fissare il cavo di massa al telaio con una vite.
Terminal REM (Consenso di accensione)
Collegare il cavo REM ad un positivo present solo ad autoradio accessa (normalmente il cavo pilota dell’antenna elettrica o il cavo
accessori dell’autoradio). Se la sorgente non dovesse essere equipaggiata con queste uscite, la soluzione raccomandabile é di inserire un
interruttore su un cavo positivo e connettersi all’amplificatore.
Connettori di ingresso
Seguendo lo schema collegate i cavi di segnale agli appropriati terminali di ingresso dell’amplificatore. Assicuratevi che i cavi di segnale
siano passati vicini tra loro e lontano da cavi ad alta corrente.
Connettori degli altoparlanti
Collegate il sistema di altoparlanti inserendo i cavi nei terminali corrispondenti e serrate le viti. Seguite lo schema per l’ottimale colle
gamento delle polaritá. Non cortocircuitate a massa nessun cavo degli altoparlanti, potrebbe verificarsi un anomalo comportamento
dell’amplificatore. ATTENZIONE; questo amplificatore non é raccomandato per impedenze inferiori ai 2 ohm stereo w/o 4 ohm
mono a ponte.
Controlli della sensibilitá
L’amplificatore é regolato dalla casa per un ottimale rendimento dinamico con segnale di ingresso di 500 mV. Il lilvello di ingresso puó
essere regolato anche ad orecchio quando si impiega una sorgente con uscita superiore od inferiore. Seguite questa procedure:
1. Portate il controllo della sensibilitá al minimo (senso antiorario)
2. Suonate un brano musicale con elevato contenuto dinamico portando il volume della sorgente a circa 3/4
3. Aumentate lentamente il livello di ingresso dell’amplificatore e posizionatelo subito prima dell’insorgere di distorsione o quando il
livello generale vi appaia confortevole
Sintomo Diagnosi Rimendo
R ISOLUZIONE DEI PROBLEMI
L’ampificatore non si accende Il B+ o il REM n on hanno una tensione
compresa tra i 10,5 e 15,5 volt o nessuna
tensione é presente
L’amplificatore non é correttamente a massa
Verficate l’alternatore, la batteria, i fusibilit,
il cablaggio e riparate quanto necessario
