    IMPORTANT/ PRELIMINARY WARNING: MAKE SURE YOU CHECK TWICE. DRILLING THROUGH ANY ELECTRICAL WIRES, FUEL LINES OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE SYSTEMS MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. ROUTING CABLES AND WIRES Determine the safest place to run wires through firewall. If it is necessary to drill holes be sure area is free of any obstructions on either side.
  • Page 3: Amplifier Adjustments

    AMPLIFIER ADJUSTMENTS Level: The Level Adjust Control (Gain) matches the output of your Car Stereo to the inputs on the Amplifier. 1. Turn Stereo on and adjust the volume to about 3/4’s of the stereo’s maximum volume. MIN MAX 2. Carefully turn the Level control up (by turning it clockwise from the "Min" position) on the Amp until the sound is just above your normal listening volume or near distortion.
  • Page 4: Powering Your Amplifier

    DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL TO AVOID SHORT CIRCUITS. Fuses: CAUTION: USE OF OTHER THAN SPECIFIC Use only specified fuses (see note). NOTE: Use three 25A ATC fuses for 500c1, or FUSES MAY DAMAGE SYSTEM OR VEHICLE. USE OF UNSPECIFIED FUSES use four 25A ATC fuses for 1000c1.
  • Page 5: Speaker Outputs

    *impedances are used. It is extremely important that the speaker wires are NOT connected to or touching the chassis (Ground) of the vehicle in any way. The EFX 500c1 and 1000c1 are MONO amplifiers. Though they have 2 positive and 2 negative terminals, they are the SAME output channel and are paralleled inside the amplifier.
  • Page 6: Master/Slave Configuration

    MASTER/SLAVE CONFIGURATION If you choose to Slave a second amp, then connect the “Master” audio output on the First amp to the Slave audio ‘IN” on the Second amplifier. Set the switch on the 2nd Amplifier to the “Slave” position. Connect the Negative outputs between the amps with NO LESS than 8 AWG wire.
