MOST important to us are the concerns with safety and the installation process. Since our Blaupunkt retail dealers have the tools and experience for an optimized and safe installation, we always recommend they do the final vehicle integration. But, should you choose to install these products yourself, please take the time to read this manual completely and abide by all precautions.
AFETY ONCERNS We always recommend you have your Blaupunkt amplifiers professionally installed but the installation process is often so easy that the average consumer can achieve success with little trouble. Regardless of the person installing, you should be sure to review the following points...
YSTEM LANNING Before wiring up an audio system that may not achieve the sound quality you want, be sure to choose a system concept that fits your listening requirements. Basic systems, a receiver with internal 4x20 watts and 4 coax speakers, are adequate for many listeners.
EHICLE IRING VEHICLE FUSING For safety purposes, a high current fuse (or circuit breaker) MUST be installed in line with the amplifiers(s) immediately at the battery to prevent vehicle damage should the battery line in advertently shorted to the vehicle chassis. The chart at the right shows the recommended master fuse sizes for an average audio system with noted “rms”...
& C ONNECTIONS ONTROLS Ground +12 (Battery) Fuses POWER CONNECTIONS: GROUND - This is the high current ground connection to the chassis of the car. It should be fastened to a clean ground connection in the vehicle, capable of handling high current loads. This wire should be no longer than 3 feet (1 meter) +12v - A high current line run direct from the batter is highly recommended to insure adequate current and voltage.

WILL OCCUR to the amplifier and WILL NOT be covered by warranty! (We put this information in this manual because of the interest of our highly skilled Blaupunkt installers - the average consumer should NOT attempt this on their own!) You should ONLY loop the SIGNAL pin to other amps - DO NOT carry the ground and +12V pin voltages to adjacent amps.
YSTEM ONFIGURATION Full-Range Full-Range 5 Channel Combo (2ch HP + 3ch passive Multi-Mode) The multi-mode system is a “poor-man’s” satellite/subwoofer system. This amplifier is able to drive speakers in stereo mode and at the same time drive low frequencies to a dedicated subwoofer speaker.
YSTEM ONFIGURATION Full-Range Full-Range Full-Range Full-Range 3 Channel Combo (2ch HP + 1ch Subwoofer) Like the four channel systems as shown above, the benefits, and performance trade-offs are similar. But, this system configuration offers an additional advantage with the internal high-pass crossover. This crossover reduces the bass to the front speakers thus protecting them under heavy low frequency loads.
ROUBLE SHOOTING Below is a basic trouble-shooting guide to assist in seeking out and correcting a problem that may occur in the installation process. Although lengthy, this chart cannot address every single problem possible but mainly the ones most common. SYMPTOM No power (power light not on) Power but no sound (power light is on)
