Electrical Wiring

All BOSS series power amplifiers are equipped with easy top access screw
terminals. These terminals are n ickel-plated in order to ensure excellent
electrical contact and to resist corrosion.
When making electrical connections to the amplifier, please observe the following:
Use at least 8 gauge or heavier wire for power and ground connections.
Wire the amplifier directly to the car battery. Make sure there is circuit protection
(such as a fuse) on the positive power lead, within 18 inches of the battery.
For the ground connection, use the shortest possible wire to a good chassis
ground point.
Wire the Remote connection to the remote turn-on lead of your equalizer or head
unit. In some cases this may be the power antenna lead of the head unit.
Remote Subwoofer Level Control
Your BOSS digital amplifier is equipped with a dashboard mount remote subwoofer
level control. Run the supplied dashboard remote control from the front panel of
your amplifier. By turning the level knob clockwise, you will increase the output
of low frequencies.
Fuses
Fuses protect both the amplifier and the electrical system of your vehicle from
faulty conditions. If you must replace the fuse in your Riot amplifier, use a fuse
of exactly the same type and rating. A different type or rating may result in damage
or cause a fire.
Mounting the Amplifier
Mark the location for the mounting screw holes by positioning the amplifier where
you wish to install it and use a scribe (or one of the mounting screws) inserted in
each mounting hole to mark the mounting surface. If the mounting surface is carpeted,
measure the hole centers and mark with a felt tip pen.
Drill pilot holes in the mounting surface for the mounting screws and insert the mounting
screws into these holes. Tighten them securely.
Note: Before beginning your installation, be sure to take note of any wires, lines or
other devices in your vehicle which may be located behind any mounting surface.
