INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a list of tools needed for installation:

Fuse-holder and fuse.

(See specifications for fuse rating)

Volt/Ohm Meter

Wire strippers

Wire crimpers

Wire cutters

#2 Phillips screwdriver

Battery post wrench

Hand held drill w/assorted bits

1/8" diameter heatshrink tubing

Assorted connectors

Adequate Length—Red 1/0 AWGPower Wire

Adequate Length—Remote Turn-on Wire

Adequate Length—Black 1/0 AWG Grounding Wire

NOTE:We recommend a 1/0 AWG wire for use on the power (B+) and ground (GND) connections.

This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your new amplifier.

Pre-planning your system layout and best wiring routes will save installation time.When deciding on the

layout of your new system,be sure that each component will be easily accessible for making adjustments.

CAUTION:If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself,have it installed by a

qualified technician.

CAUTION:Before installation,disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent

damage to the unit,fire and/or possible injury.

Before beginning any installation,follow these simple rules:

1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install the unit.

2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation.

3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting your unit in place.

4. Route all of the RCA cables close together and away from any high current wires.

5. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.

6. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks,fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines,

vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.

7. Ne

er run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle provides the best

protection.

8. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges.Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any

wires routed through metal,especially the firewall.

WAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with proper fusing.Install the

ppr

opriate fuse holder and fuse on the +12V power wire within 18" (45.7 cm) of the battery

terminal.

10. When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle,scrape all paint from the metal to ensure a good,clean

ground connection.Grounding connections should be as short as possible and always be connected to

metal that is welded to the main body,or chassis, of the vehicle.

14. RCA Pass-Thru Jack – This Pass-Thru provides a convenient source for daisy-chaining an additional

amplifier without running an extra set of RCA cables from the front of the vehicle to the rear amplifier

location.

15. Remote Terminal – This heavy duty,nickel-plated wire connector will accept wire sizes from

8 AWG to 16 AWG.This terminal is used to remotely turn-on and turn-off the amplifier when

+12V DC is applied.

16. Power Terminals – The power and ground connectors on the amplifier are nickel-plated and will

accommodate up to 1/0 AWG wire maximizing the input current capability of the amplifier.
