  • Page 3 power connections 1. Battery disconnection First disconnect the power supply of the vehicle. This works out the best by removing the ground cable of the battery. 2. Ground connection Connect the GND (ground) connection of the amplifier with the car chassis. Keep this cable as short as possible (not longer than 50 cm) and use a suitable cross section (AWG sice 6 - 10).
  • Page 4 (see figure). You can also operate the US 08 Passive on another power amplifier by using the SUB inputs. ATTENTION: Plug in the white Molex connector for single operation and connect both ASIA connectors. In this regard, AUDIO SYSTEM recommends to adjust your amplifier through a Germany specialized service center, dealer or a specialist.
