General Installation Notes

The amplifier is generally mounted in the rear trunk area but can be mounted in any convenient area
such as beneath a seat. Please be sure to locate this unit where you have reasonable air circulation
and protection from moisture. When considering the mounting location you should minimize the length
of the power and speaker leads. Minimizing both leads will yield a more reliable installation. It is also
important to ensure that the heat sink fins are not against a panel or a surface, preventing air
circulation. Do not install the amplifier on a subwoofer box or on vibrating parts of the vehicle, since
the vibrations can cause damage to the amplifiers electrical components.

Installation

Mark the location for the mounting screw holes by
using the amplifier as a template. Drill holes at the
marked locations and firmly fasten the amplifier in
place with the mounting screws supplied in the
accessory kit.
Before drilling or cutting any holes, investigate the
layout of your automobile thoroughly: Take care when
working near the gas lines or hydraulic lines and
electrical wiring.
Electrical Connections
Ground (GND)
This wire is the electrical ground and must be fastened securely to the vehicle chassis. The best
method is to use a threading sheet metal screw until the threads cut into bare metal. Ensure that all
paint or other insulation is removed around the hole area, and using self tapping screw, securely affix
the bare wire ends to the vehicle chassis. Use as short a piece of cable as possible - use the same
gauge as was used for the +12V cable. Make sure that the connection is safe, a loose connection
may result in amplifier noise and fault condition.
Ground (GND)
Remote (REM)
Please connect the remote turn-on cable of your car stereo decvice (head-unit) with the remote
terminal of the amplifier. After the turn-on of the head unit, the amplifier will be activated automatic.
Battery Connection (+12V)
This wire is usually connected directly to the positive battery terminal. Ensure that the + power supply
wire is fused via an assigned fuse in line with the + power supply wire. Please use a sufficient gauge
for the installed amplifiers. A cable cross-section of 12mm
with the amplifier.

Fuses
The integrated amplifier fuses
protect the units from short
circuit and overload. The fuse
rating is for 4 Ohm loads
(impedance) of the speakers,
for 2 Ohm loads the fuses may
have to get increased by up to
50% in case of higher power
consumption.
Ground (GND)
