Page 7: Amplifier Status Leds
AMPLIFIER STATUS LEDS The LEDs provide the following indications: 1. Power - These LEDs illuminates the center Precision Power logo background when the amplifier power is turned on. 2. Short - These LEDs behind the PPI logo will flash to indicate a short on the output. -
Page 8: Tools/Parts For Installation
TOOLS/PARTS FOR INSTALLATION NOTE: TOOLS ARE NOT SUPPLIED. Small flat blade screwdriver Phillips screwdriver (#2 or medium sized) Wire cutters Wire strippers 4 - #6 round head screws, and 1 - #8 sheet metal screw. (or nut, bolt, flat washer, star washer) (see details) 2 - Ring connectors (large enough to accommodate your method of grounding) In-line fuse or circuit breaker... - Page 9 Note: The cables running from the battery to the rear of the car should be installed on the side of the car opposite to the antenna. When using 16 gauge wire or larger, run the speaker wires from the amplifier location through the vehicle to the speakers. Observe the same precautions for routing these wires that you followed for running the power and remote turn on wires.

Page 10: Ground Wiring
Note: The amplifier comes with the connector inserted into the amplifier with the wire clamping screws in the up position as shown below. Use a 2mm hex head wrench to secure the wires to the connector. If the connector needs to be unplugged from the amplifier, use a 2.5mm hex head wrench to remove the retaining screw from the connector (set aside and save the retaining screw). -
Page 11: Charging System
Example: A PPI amplifier has two channels at 125 watts per channel RMS rating into 4 ohms (125X2 = 250 watts). You would use the formula in the following way: 250 W X 1.5 = 375 watts Dealer or call Precision Power... -
Page 12: Power Wire Size
375W = 31.25 Amps total current draw If the same amplifier is driven into a 2 ohm stereo or 4 ohm mono load, double it’s 4 ohm RMS rating. These amplifiers will effectively double their power at this load. 250W X 1.5 X2 = 750 watts 750W = 62.5 Amps total current draw If you are using more than one amplifier, add up the total current draw for all of them and choose the appropriate gauge based on the... -
Page 13: Powerlock Connectors
POWERLOCK CONNECTORS Once you have run both the power and ground wires, then connect the cables to the amplifier. Cut off excess wire, and using wire strippers, strip the ends of the power and ground cables approximately 1/4 inch. Locate the PowerLock connector (supplied). -

Cooling Plenums: Maintain a minimum 2” clearance around cooling plenums for proper amplifier cooling. 2. Power/Ground PowerLock to this Power/Ground PowerLock Note: Item descriptions 3 and 4 only apply to the A800/2 and A100/2 amplifiers. -
Page 16: Inputs
REVERSE ADVANCED INSTRUMENTATION INPUT The Advanced Instrumentation Input has been incorporated from the legendary Precision Power isolates the chassis ground from the audio circuit of the amplifier and reduces noise radiated into your signal cables by up to 40dB. This is equivalent to a noise reduction of approximately one hundred times what the noise level would be without this circuitry. -
Page 17: Qbass Plus Specifications
QBASS PLUS SPECIFICATIONS Note: Not available on the model A500/2 amplifier. QBASS PLUS Up to 18dB of boost with selectable center frequency at 30Hz, 36Hz, 44Hz or 60Hz, with a Q-factor of 2. Optional QBASS REMOTE This boost control can be mounted in the dash and will supersede the boost control on the amplifier endplate. -
Page 18: Qbass Plus/Qbass Remote
QBASS PLUS/QBASS REMOTE On A800/2 , and A1000/2 amplifiers, we’ve taken bass control to a higher level with QBASS PLUS (labeled 1 and 2) on the front end of the amplifier allow you to select one of four frequency centers 30Hz, 36Hz, 44Hz and 60Hz. On the... -

Page 21: Adjusting Input Gain
ADJUSTING INPUT GAIN 1. Adjust all amplifier input gain controls to just above minimum sensitivity (fully counterclockwise). 2. Using the cleanest music source (CD) playing, turn up the head unit source volume until you can hear distortion. Now turn it down a bit until you cannot hear the distortion (usually just below full volume). -
