CONNECTIONS
Each input and outputjack is individually labeled to reduce installation
errors. Male to male RCA cables are required to connect the AMPLIFIER
inputs to the source units or crossover outputs. High Quality shielded cables
should be used to minimize the pickup of electricalnoises. The RCA cables
shouldbe run on the opposite side
of the vehicle fromthe power and ground
wires
of the Amplifiers. This will help to minimizenoise problems.
Before making any electrical connections,Disconnect your car battery's
Groundcable toprevent thepossibility ofshort circuits
or damage toyour
electronicequipment.
