This sum is the rating for your fuse or circuit breaker. You may also want to add a power distribution block near your amplifiers to distribute large gauge power cable to multiple amplifiers. D500/1 D1000/1 D2000/1 D3000/1 Dimensions Length D500/1 12-½”...
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.
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...

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.
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).
Total Input Wattage = Current Draw (in Amps) Supply Voltage Example: A PPI amplifier has one channel at 1000 watts RMS rating into 4 ohms. You would use the formula in the following way: 1000 W X 1.3 = 1300 watts Dealer or call Precision Power...
1300W = 108 Amps total current draw If the same amplifier is driven into a 2 ohm load, double it’s 4 ohm RMS rating. These amplifiers will effectively double their power at this load. 1000W X 1.3 X 2 = 2600 watts 2600W = 217 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...
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).
FRONT PLATE DIAGRAMS 1. Cooling Plenums: Maintain a minimum 2” clearance around cooling plenums for proper amplifier cooling. 2. Speaker/Remote Connector: The PowerLock speaker connector. 3. Output Freq. Control: Use this control to adjust the sub bass output signal crossover frequency from 30Hz to 4kHz. (See the Crossover Frequency chart in this manual).
12. -12dB Input Attenuation: Push this switch ‘IN’ for high voltage (4V-12V) capability. This button pushed ‘IN’ must be used for speaker level input on common ground head-units or for high voltage line drivers. 13. Phase: These switch sets the phase of the output relative to the amplifier input.
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.
QBASS PLUS SPECIFICATIONS 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.
In doing this, Precision Power allowed you to daisy chain your RCA output to the next amplifier input, causing the first amplifier’s QBASS REMOTE master control amplifier. See your authorized Precision Power dealer for more information! switches (labeled 1 and 2) on level control and plug-in for an dash mounted level control.
HP/LP/FULL, your new amplifier allows independent selection of frequencies from 30Hz- 4kHz (see Crossover Detent Chart in this guide).

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).
