WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
FUSE
The 40ss amplifier requires 8 gauge power wires for both +12v and
ground connections. The screws in the amplifiers terminal strip must
be very tight. Always make the ground connection first when
installing this amplifier and disconnect ground last when removing it
from the system. Connect the ground wire, which is 24 inches or less,
to a structural chassis member. Be sure this connection is to bare
metal and securely screwed or bolted. (It is not recommended to
run the ground wire to the battery.) Run the positive wire directly to
the positive terminal of the battery and use a 30 amp fuse within 18
inches of the battery. This fuse protects the wire run from the battery.
Run the power and signal wires on opposite sides of the car. This
helps to reduce noise in the signal wires between the source and
the amplifier. The speaker connections can accept up to 8 gauge
wire to reduce losses in long runs.
The cover panel allows for two wiring methods; standard and
stealth. The standard method requires the removal of a break-away
panel, as shown in the following diagram.
