●
8 AWG power and ground wire recommended for optimal performance.
●
Connect 12V+ to the battery through fuse holder. This connection provides +12V
●
main power to the amplifier.
Power wire must be fused no more than 18" from battery.
●
Ground amplifier to a good chassis ground as close as possible to the amplifier.
●
Connect REM terminal to remote turn-on lead from source unit. This connection
●
provides +12V power to turn-on the amplifier.
Add extra ground wire between the negative terminal of the battery and the
●
chassis.
NOTE: The addition of a ground wire from the battery to the chassis of the vehicle
improves the ability of the battery to supply power to the amplifier. This is recom-
mended because the current delivery of the factory electrical system was designed
only to accommodate electronics supplied by the auto manufacturer.
