Connecting the power terminal

WARNING
If the battery wire is not securely fixed to the term-
inal using the terminal screws, there is a risk of
overheating, malfunction and injury, including
minor burns.
! Always use the recommended battery and
ground wire, which is sold separately. Con-
nect the battery wire directly to the car bat-
tery positive (+) terminal and the ground
wire to the car body.
! Recommended wires size (AWG: American
Wire Gauge) is as follows. The battery wire,
the ground wire and the optional direct
ground wire must be same size.
! Use a wire of 8 AWG to 16 AWG wire for the
speaker/subwoofer wire.

! When drilling a cable pass-hole into the ve-

ough it, take care not to short-circuit the
wire damaging it by the cut edges or burrs
of the hole.
After completing all other amplifier connec-
tions, finally connect the battery wire terminal
