Power
- Use 8-12 gauge power cable from the battery positive (+)
to the amplifier placing the fuse or circuit breaker approximately
18" or less from the battery. Make sure this connection to the
battery is clean and secure. Coat with terminal grease or petroleum
jelly. Remember to route power cables away from signal and high
tension lines in the vehicle.
DO NOT OVER FUSE THE AMPLIFIER, AS POWER ACOUSTIK
WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO
VEHICLE DUE TO INCORRECT OR BAD WIRING INCLUDING
THE POWER WIRE AND/OR FUSE AND FUSE HOLDER.
CONSULT YOUR DEALER IF UNSURE OF THIS PROCEDURE.
GROUND
- Use the same gauge cable as used on the power
connection. Amplifiers must be allowed to sink as much negative
potential to ground as it draws from the electrical system. Securely
connect the ground terminal of the amplifier to a clean grounding
location on the chassis. Coat this connection with terminal grease
or petroleum jelly. This location should be no more than three (3)
feet from the amplifier.
REMOTE
- This terminal should be connected to the remote turn¬
on lead of the head unit or cascaded from another remote mounted
device.
For head units with no auto antenna output, a separate
switch should be wired to allow the amp(s) be turned on or off
manually.
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
Speaker
- Connect the right positive (+) and negative(-) speaker
leads to the corresponding amplifier terminals. Repeat this process
for the left speaker taking care to maintain correct polarity. For
mono operation, connect the speaker positive (+) to the amplifiers
right positive (+) and the speaker negative (-) to the amplifiers left
negative (-). Mixed-mono systems may be built using the stereo
and mono hookups simultaneously, although this may require the
use of a passive crossover.
