Fans should be used in correspondence with an escape duct for heat when mounting the amplifier in an enclosed or restricted area. Avoid slipping and scratching your new Crossfire amplifier by pre-drilling the mounting holes with either an 1/8" or 3mm diameter drill bit when using the screws supplied in the accessory kit.

All Crossfire amplifiers are designed to work within 10.5 to 16 volts DC. Therefore, as a precaution, the vehicle's electrical system should be checked for correct voltage supply with the help of a voltmeter. First, connect the test leads of the voltmeter to the battery terminals with the ignition of the vehicle in the off position. The voltmeter should read no less than 12 volts.

Bridging the two like amplifiers together is fairly easy. Study the following instructions as well as the diagrams on PG-10 to assure proper connections. If you experience any difficulties, please contact Crossfire's Technical Assistance at 562-906-0800. BRIDGING CIRCUIT (Invert output) The internal bridging module can only be used when a pair of either VR1000Ds or VR600Ds are used.

200 amps to make the same power. A normal stock automobile sees it differently, 120 amperes is a very high amount of current and very taxing on its electrical system. We at Crossfire strongly suggest using one dedicated, high quality, battery per 1000D amplifier or per two 600D amplifiers. We also recommend upgrading the vehicles alternator whenever possible.
