Page 3: Power Input Connections
Use a fuse or circuit breaker of equal value as that found on the chassis of your GLADIATOR amplifier. You may now connect the cable to the battery, but remember to leave the fuse out or circuit breaker off until all other cable... - Page 4 Ground Connect the GND (-) of the amplifier directly to the negative terminal (-) of the battery. Use cables 18mm. Remote In between the power and ground is a remote turn-on terminal. This terminal must be connected to a switched +12V source. Typically, remote turn-on leads are provided at the head unit which will turn on and off the amplifier in correspondence with the source.
- Page 5 Low Level Input Choose the correct length and style of RCA interconnects for your needs. The GLADIATOR range of RCA’s give you a wide choice to suit your needs. These have multiple layers of shielding or are a twisted pair variety for better noise rejection (consult your GLADIATOR dealer if unsure which to purchase).

Page 6: Speaker Output Connection
Keep in mind this series are high power amplifiers and not high current amplifiers. In other words they require a minimum impedance of 1 ohms MONO (Digital Mono Block Only) to operate trouble free. Too low of an impedance could send your GLADIATOR amplifier into protection mode and/or damage the amplifier. Speaker Wiring Choose the correct speaker wire for your application. - Page 7 CONTROL AND DESCRIPTIONS Features and controls 1. RCA In/Out Jack for Daisy Chain Connect the input of the MASTER to a suitable source, e.g. a head unit with good quality RCA cable and connect the MASTER OUTPUT RCA jack to the corresponding RCA jack on the SLAVE amplifier.
- Page 8 5.Bass EQ This is variable control to increase the Bass EQ at 45Hz from 0dB ~ +18dB of gain, adjust to suit. 6.Remote Bass EQ Control/ Gain Control - Bass EQ Control This port allows connection to the remote bass control (Optional).
