10. Provide +12V and Ground wiring of sufficient size to ensure adequate remove the top panel to access the controls. ACM-2.300 There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer current to the amplifier. For the this means 8 gauge wire or servicing to qualified personnel.
Line-level inputs if you are using the speaker-level inputs. to the 12V remote trigger output of some head units. When the head unit is turned on, then the ACM-2.300 amplifier will turn on. Alternatively, you can use the GTO™ feature of the amplifier so it will turn on when an audio signal is detected at the speaker-level or line-level inputs.
