This line should NOT be run to the fuse panel of the vehicle but directly to the battery. DO NOT run to the alternator either. There MUST be a fuse installed at the battery with adequate amperage as shown in the chart above. As for the final signal wiring, be sure to route the audio cables down the side of the car opposite the power lines to avoid noise pick up from the lines. Also, try to route all audio cables away from noise sources such as engine computers and ABS brake computers. Proper power grounding is important to insure adequate current flow. Be sure to grind the surface clean of all paint to ensure a solid electrical connection. – 6 – Speaker Wires or RCA Cables Speakers Amplifier Power Antenna Turn-On Wire (18-20 gauge wire) Battery Fuse or Circuit Breaker Battery Connector Grommet To prevent damage to power wire Power Wire (10 gauge wire or larger) Ground Screw Drill 1/8" hole in chassis sheet metal Use the same ground if using multiple amplifiers CONNECTIONS & CONTROLS REMOTE GAIN SLOPE SWITCH LINE LEVEL INPUTS CONTROL JACK & OUTPUTS LOW PASS GAIN CONTROL CROSSOVER CONTROL REMOTE GAIN CONTROL JACK - For connecting the remote gain control (included). This allows you to adjust the gain while seated in the vehicle with the system operating. LOW PASS CROSSOVER CONTROL - This control sets the upper frequency limit of the amplifier. For most subwoofers a value just below 100 Hz is usually best. SLOPE SWITCH - This allows you to switch between 12 dB and 24 dB per octave roll-off. GAIN CONTROL - The gain control allows for a range of 0.3 - 8 Volts input. This means that if the setting is 0.3V, it only takes 0.3V to drive the amp to full output. (Such a low setting allows for the amp to be easily overdriven, and more susceptible to noise so a mid-position is highly recommended for most radios.) LINE LEVEL INPUTS & OUTPUTS - The most commonly used inputs and outputs in the aftermarket are RCA type line level. These can handle up to about 6 Volts rms without overdriving the amp. Such high voltages are rarely found from car audio head units, so this is a very comfortable value. But should you need to drive the amp directly from speaker level leads, use the supplied “High Level Adapter” to connect to the amp. – 7 – English SPEAKER OUTPUTS FUSES POWER CONNECTIONS & TRIGGER LINE CONNECTIONS & CONTROLS SPEAKER OUTPUTS FUSES POWER CONNECTIONS & TRIGGER LINE CONNECTIONS & CONTROLS SPEAKER OUTPUTS - The amplifier is connected to appropriate impedance speakers via these leads. It is IMPERATIVE that these leads NOT be connected or touch the vehicle chassis in any way or the amplifier will be damaged. The (+) and (-) leads of the amp are in no way interconnected to one another. Also, NONE of the leads can touch each other, touch ground, or touch +12V or damage may occur to the amp or vehicle. FUSES - These fuses are only for catastrophic situations should the amplifier begin to self-destruct or incur installation situations where gross amounts of current are being required from the amp beyond its design limits. Although another fuse should be installed inline with the high power line at the battery, these amplifier mounted fuses MUST remain in the circuit to protect the amplifier. POWER CONNECTIONS & TRIGGER LINE +12v - A high current line run direct from the batter is highly recommended to insure adequate current and voltage. This line MUST be run through a dedicated fuse of some kind and this fuse should be located immediately next to the power source. This in-line fuse is used to protect the vehicle should a short to chassis occur. TRIGGER - This line tells the amp to turn on and is remotely switched from the radio which normally provides an amp “trigger” output. This line is required to go “high” (+12V) to turn on the amp. If this line is not available, use the power antenna line trigger which is normally available in most radios. GROUND - This is the high current ground connection to the chassis of the car. It should be fastened to a clean ground connection in the vehicle, capable of handling high current loads. This wire should be no longer than 3 feet (1 meter). BLUE DOT LIGHT INDICATOR ON THE TOP OF THE AMPLIFIER (not shown above) POWER ON - This light will turn on when the amplifier receives a +12V turn-on signal from the radio. If the amp is properly wired, but the light does not turn on, there may be a short circuit condition that the amp is protecting itself from. PROTECTION LED - This light flashes if the amplifier senses a severe problem, such as a speaker short circuit. +12V Terminal 10 Gage Wire To Battery Terminal NOT SUPPLIED Fuse or Circuit Breaker Battery Terminal Adapter Ground Terminal Connect directly to the vehicle battery (+) terminal with 10 gage wire (minimum) 10 Gage Wire Ring Connector Sheet Metal Screw Drill 1/8” hole in chassis sheet metal Trigger Terminal Connect to a good chassis ground.
