other end to your autosound sys-
tem's switched power lead using
one of the supplied twist-on termi-
nal connectors.

This connection turns on the
amplifier when you turn on the
autosound system, and turns off
the amplifier when you turn off the
autosound system. This prevents
your vehicle's battery from being
drained if you leave your amplifier
on when you turn off your auto-
sound system.
If your autosound system does
not have a switched power lead,
connect the blue/white
other end to a point in your vehi-
cle's fuse block that has power
only when you turn on the ignition
or turn the key to ACC.
This connection turns on the
amplifier when you turn on the
ignition or turn the key to ACC,
and turns off the amplifier when
you turn off the ignition. This pre-
vents your vehicle's battery from
being drained if you leave your
amplifier on when you turn off the
ignition.

6. Use a screwdriver to connect the
spade end of the supplied red
power cable (with in-line fuse
holder) to the amplifier's
minal.
7. Connect the other end of the red
power cable to your vehicle's pos-
itive (+) battery terminal as shown.
Then tighten the terminal.
Caution: Due to the amplifier's
high current requirement, you
must connect the red power
wire's
cable's fused end directly to the
vehicle's positive (+) battery termi-
nal or damage to your vehicle's
wiring could result.
Do not reconnect your vehicle's nega-
tive (–) battery cable yet.
