3. Electrical Connections
Read the following wiring instructions very carefully. If you have any
trouble understanding any of these instructions, have the amplifier
professionally installed by an experienced technician. Incorrect wiring
will prevent the amplifier from operating, or will damage the amplifier.
1. Power Terminal
Strip 1/2" of insulation from the end of the minimum 10 gauge power
1.
wire. Connect the 10 gauge power wire to the battery terminal for the
LS-SUB-100.
Loosen screw to open battery and ground connector plates on
2.
rear of amplifier.
Insert the 10 gauge wire between the connector plates. Turn screw until
3.
power cable is tight.
2. Remote Terminal
The REMOTE wire connection automatically turns on your amplifier when
your stereo is tuned on. On most stereos, this wire is marked as the
REMOTE, ACCESSORY, or POWER ANTENNA.
Locate the REMOTE, ACCESSORY, or POWER ANTENNA on the stereo.

Find good, no-rusted chassis metal, as close to the amplifier as possible.
2.
Drill a pilot hole with a 1/16" drill bit.
3.
Use sandpaper to expose an area of bare metal around the pilot hole
4.
about the size of a dime.
Tightly fasten the provided ground cable with self tapping sheet metal
5.
screw to the chassis metal. A loose ground will cause distortion and
popping noises in the speakers.
