Electrical Wiring All BOSS power amplifiers are equipped with "easy-access" screw terminals. These terminals are nickel- plated to ensure excellent electrical contact and resist corrosion. When making electrical connections t o the amplifier, please observe the following: Use at least 8 gauge or heavier wire for power and ground connections. Connect the amplifier directly to the car battery. -
Page 7: Remote Subwoofer Level Control
High Level Inputs If the HIGH LEVEL INPUTS are used, do not use the LOW LEVEL RCA INPUTS at the same time. The RIPPER 2-Channel amplifiers use ONE HIGH LEVEL INPUT for both channels and the RIPPER 4-Channel amplifiers use TWO of these connectors one for each pair of channels. LOW PASS MODE ONLY. - Page 8 Input /Line Out Level The RCA jacks marked "INPUTS" should be connected the low-level output of your source unit. jacks marked "LINE OUT" will pass the signal that is present on the amplifier inputs, facilitating the connection of additional amplifiers along.

Dual mi-Mode Speaker Wiring Four Channel Amplifiers: RIP796 and RIP896 Tri-Mode Operation is a unique feature which allows a subwoofer to be operated in MONO mode, while the main speakers are playing in STEREO simultaneously on one pair of amplifier output channels. - Page 12 Precautions Before you drill or cut any holes, investigate your car's layout very carefully. Take care when you work near the gas tank, fuel lines, hydraulic lines and electrical wiring. Do not operate the amplifier when securely within the automobile to prevent damage. Do not mount this amplifier so that the wire connections are unprotected or in a pinched condition, or likely to be damaged by nearby objects.
- Page 13 Troubleshooting Before removing your amplifier, refer to the list below and follow the suggested procedures. Always test the speakers and their wires first. No Output Confirm that all terminal strip connections are secure and tight. Check both in-line and built-in fuses. Both the have +12v referenced to chassis ground.
