This will protect the car's battery in case of a short circuit between the power amplifier and battery. THIS IS A MUST, the amplifier's built-in fuse will only protect the power amplifier not the car's battery! Use high grade wire connectors. -
Page 4: Features And Benefits
EATURES AND BENEFITS DC Offset Protection This circuit protects the output of the amplifier against DC voltage. If for some reason DC voltage is detected at the output stage, the amplifier will shut down protecting the speakers from direct current. Short Circuit Protection The circuit protects the amplifier from damage due to a short found in the speakers or wiring. -
Page 5: Remote Turn-On
Power Fusing This protects the amplifier against short circuits and excessive current. Remote Turn-on Automatically turns amplifier on when connected to the head unit's remote output. The amplifier will turn on and off with the head unit to save current consumption. This control also operates the reset circuit for the amplifier's protection. -
Page 6: Mounting Location
OUNTING LOCATION Before you start the installation, it will be necessary to find a mounting location for the amplifier. Find a location in which the amplifier will receive adequate ventilation in order to dissipate the heat it develops during operation. Two popular mounting locations are in the trunk or under the seat. -

Before making any connections, disconnect the car's battery until the installation is completed to avoid possible damage to the electrical system. Connect the amplifier to the car's battery. At times, the amplifier will need to draw large levels of current that cannot be provided by any circuit in the car's fuse box. -
Page 8: Signal Connections
IGNAL CONNECTIONS Connect the output of the head unit (AM/FM cassette player, CD, or DAT) to the RCA input terminals of the amplifier. To make these connections, we recommend high quality RCA cables, which are available at your local car audio retailer. Run signal wires away from electrical wires to avoid possibility of induced noise from the car's electrical system (i.e. - Page 9 IGH LEVEL CONNECTIONS (OPTIONAL) If a low level RCA signal source is not available, you may still wire the amplifier with high-level or speaker level outputs from your head unit. ground" system may be used (see diagram below).

PEAKER CONNECTIONS Make the speaker connections using speaker wire that is at least 10 gauge or heavier. As with any audio component, proper phasing of the amplifier and speakers is essential for strong bass response. When connecting, make sure that positive (+) from the amplifier is connected to the positive (+) of the speaker, and the same for negative (-). - Page 11 ETTING THE CROSSOVER AND BASS BOOST Select your crossover type and frequency.
