Follow these steps to connect the amplifier to ground, switched power, and
primary power.
1.
If you have not done so already, disconnect the cable from your
vehicle's negative (-) battery terminal.
2.
Use a screwdriver to connect the spade end of the supplied black ground
wire to the amplifier's GND (ground) terminal.
3.
Connect the black ground wire's other end to a chassis ground, such as
a metal bolt attached to a metal part of the vehicle's frame.
the bolt is not insulated from the chassis by a plastic part.
4.
Use a screwdriver to connect the spade end of the supplied blue/white
wire to the amplifier's REM (remote power) terminal.
5.
Connect the blue/white wire's other end to your autosound system's
switched power lead using one of the supplied twist-on terminal
connectors.
This connection turns on the amplifier when you turn on the autosound
system, and turns off the amplifier when you turn off the autosound system.
This prevents your vehicle's battery from being drained if you leave your
amplifier on when you turn your autosound system off.
If your autosound system does not have a switched power lead, connect the
blue/white wire's other end to a point in your vehicle's fuse block that
has power only when you turn on the ignition or turn the key to ACC.
This connection turns on the amplifier when you turn on the ignition or
turn the key to ACC, and turns off the amplifier when you turn off the
ignition.
This prevents your vehicle's battery from being drained if you
leave your amplifier on when you turn off the ignition.
6.
Use a screwdriver to connect the spade end of the supplied red power
cable (with in-line fuse holder) to the amplifier's +12V terminal.
7.
Connect the other end of the red power cable to your vehicle's positive
(+) battery terminal.
Caution:
Due to the amplifier's high current requirement, you must connect
the red power cable's fused end directly to the vehicle's
positive
(+) battery terminal or damage to your vehicle's wiring could
result.
Then tighten the terminal.
Be sure
