Connecting the units
Always use the recommended battery and
ground wire, which is sold separately. Con-
nect the battery wire directly to the boat
battery positive (+) terminal and the
ground wire to the boat body.
Recommended wires size (AWG: American
Wire Gauge) is as follows. The battery wire,
the ground wire and the optional direct
ground wire must be same size.
Use a wire of 12 AWG to 16 AWG wire for
the speaker wire.

Route battery wire from engine com-
partment to the boat interior.
When drilling a cable pass-thru into a bulk
head or barrier wall, route the cable
through carefully and seal the hole to pre-
vent fumes from seeping from engine com-
partment to other areas.
After completing all other amplifier connec-
tions, finally connect the battery wire terminal
of the amplifier to the positive + battery term-
inal.

pose about 10 mm (3/8 in.) of the end of
each of the wires, and then twist the ex-
posed ends of the wires.
