Connection
WARNING
Particular attention must be given to making good electrical contact
at the amplifier-output and speaker terminals.
Poor or loose connections can cause sparking or burning at the
terminals because of the very high power that the amplifier can deliver.
CAUTION
• If sound is not output normally, immediately turn power off and
check connections.
• Be sure to turn the power off before changing the setting of any
switch.
• If the fuse blows, check wires for shorts, then replace the fuse with
one of the same rating.
• Check that no unconnected wires or connectors are touching
the car body. Do not remove caps from unconnected wires or
connectors to prevent short circuits.
• Connect the speaker wires to appropriate speaker connectors
separately. Sharing the negative wire of the speaker or grounding
speaker wires to the metal body of the car can cause this unit to fail.
• After installation, check that the brake lamps, turn signal lamps and
windshield wipers work properly.
