Connecon Descripons
NOTE:
Be sure to follow specific instructions included with your amplifier installation kit (not included with this amplifier).
The information below should be used as a general guideline only.
Power Wire (+12V)
1. Disconnect negative battery terminal before proceeding. Consult a qualified technician for instructions if you
are unsure.
2. Plan wire routing before cutting any wires to length. Begin by routing the power +12V wire from the battery to
the amplifier location. Use a grommet when running wires through the firewall or metal openings. Avoid running
the power wire near existing vehicle wiring to prevent induced noise from entering the audio system.
3. Use extreme caution when drilling holes to avoid damaging fuel lines or existing vehicle wiring.
4. The +12V wire MUST be fused within 18” of the battery for protection of the vehicle’s electrical system.
Ground Wire (GND)
1. The amplifier ground wire should be as short as possible (no more than 36” or 1 meter). Choose a clean unpainted
section of metal or the vehicle chassis when attaching the ground connection. Be sure to clean the area of any dirt
or grease.
Remote Turn-on Wire (REM)
1. The remote turn-on wire connects to the head unit’s amplifier turn-on lead or power antenna output.
Speaker Wires
1. Choose adequate gauge speaker wire depending on your exact amplifier/speaker combination. Be sure to observe
polarity when connecting.
2. Do not ground any speaker wires or connect any speaker wires together.
Input Signal
1. The amplifier’s input signal connects to the head unit’s low level (RCA) or high level (speaker wire) outputs.
2. Low level input signals deliver the best performance. If unavailable, use the high level inputs - when interfacing
with factory head unit for instance.
CAUTION
1. Do not use both low and high level inputs at the same time. Connect only one or the other.
2. Keep low level inputs away from any power wires to avoid engine noise.
3. Never run any wires underneath or outside the vehicle.
