ground wire. Never ground the speaker leads and never
allow the speaker leads to come in contact with each

Never operate the unit without proper fusing. The fuse
holder must be located within 2 feet of the power supply.
This fuse is to protect the vessel, not the electronics.
In case of a short, the fuse will blow instead of the wire
burning up. Using other than the recommended fuse rating
at the power supply and at the unit may cause damage to
the unit and will void your warranty.
Whenever possible, use cable ties, mounting clamps and
similar wiring aids. Adding stress relief loop to wiring is
also advisable to prevent straining or breakage.
If after reading the directions you feel uncomfortable about
installing the unit, or not equipped or competent to do so,
you should have this installed by a professional installer.
Connect the white and grey loudspeaker wires to 1 or 2
pairs of loudspeakers. Pay close attention to polarity
(black stripe = negative)
Connect the green and purple loudspeaker wires to 1 or 2
pairs of loudspeakers or to a sub woofer.
