SELECTING THE SPEAKER OUTPUT MODE
The RUBICON102,2O2 and 302 amplifiers have the ability to operate in any one
of the following modes:
Stereo (STACT/ Mixed Mono):
Use this mode for either stereo operation (left
and right channels) or for Mixed Mono operation (stereo left and right channels
plus bridged mono for a subwoofer).
using both the left and right inputs and gain controls.
Bridged Mono:
Use this mode to get a bridged mono output while using only
the right channel input and gain control (for use with a singular mono input).
Please follow the wiring schemes below for the correct operation:

INSTALLATION STEP 2
POWER AND GROUND
To ensure maximum output from your RUBICON amplifier, use high quality, low-
loss power and ground cables and connections. The RUBICON & 202 ampli-
fiers will accept up to 8 gauge power and ground cables. The RUBICON will
accept up to 4 gauge power and ground cables. Determine from the chart below
the minimum gauge power and ground wire for your application.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND FUSES
EXTERNAL
Like all audio components, the RUBICON amplifiers must be fused near the bat-
tery. A fuse or circuit breaker must be located within 18" of the batten/. This will
prevent a fire in the event of a shorted cable. See the chart below to determine the
correct fuse value.
INTERNAL
The RUBICON amplifiers are fused with an automotive-type or Maxi-fuse. In the
event of a blown power supply fuse(s), replace with the correct value fuse found in
the chart below. Never replace the fuse with a higher value than what is sup-
plied.
This may result in amplifier damage and will void the warranty!
