Connecting The Unit
& CAUTION
Remove the negative (-) terminal of the
battery to avoid the risk of short-circuit
and damage to the unit.
Secure the wiring with cable clamps or
adhesive tape, To protect the wiring,
wrap adhesive tape around them where
they lie against metal parts.
ff you drill a hole in the engine compart-
ment to directly connect the special red
battery lead to the car battery, plug the
hole with a rubber bushing to protect the
wire. f a rubber bushing is not used, the
insulation may be damaged and a short
circuit may result due to the vibrations of
the car.
Do not route wires where they will get
hot, for example where the heater will
blow over them. If the insulation heats
up, it may become damaged, resulting in
4 short-circuit through the vehicle body.
Make sure that wires will not interfere
with moving parts of the vehicle, such as
the gearshift, handbrake or seat stiding
mechanism.
Do not shorten any leads. Otherwise the
protection circuit may fail ta work when it
should.
Never feed power to other equipment by
cutting the insulation of the power supply
wire to tap from the wire. The current
capacity of the wire will be exceeded,
causing overheating.

+ Be sure to use the special red battery wire
suppiied with the amplifier and connect
unswitched source greater than 15 A. Use
the supplied black ground wire and
connect to the vehicle body. {The sup-
plied special red battery and ground
wires are designed so that the amplifier
can be connected safely.}
OQ To prevent damage
+ Do not ground the speaker wire directly
or connect a negative {-) wire for several
speakers.
Speakers to be connected to the amplifier
should conform with the standards listed
below. Otherwise damage will be caused
to the speaker. The speaker impedance
must be 2 to 8 ohms.

install and route the special red battery
wire supplied with the amplifier as
faraway as possible from the speaker
wires. Install and route the battery wire,
ground wire, speaker wires, and the
amplifier as faraway as possible from the
antenna, antenna cable and tuner.
Connecting the Speakers
