Finish the ends of the wires at the amp and vehicle connection with the proper size terminals. Poorly made connections, and /or inadequate wire size will generate excessive heat and may lead to equipment failure. The 12 VOLT + connection should be made directly at the positive battery post, using the wire size recommended below, and fused within "18"of the battery.

SET UP AND ADJUSTMENT Gain The gain control is NOT a volume control. The gain control adjusts the amount of signal required to drive the amplifier to full output. With the gain at maximum (full clockwise rotation), less signal voltage is required to drive the amp to full output. With the gain at minimum (full counter-clockwise rotation), more signal voltage is required to drive the amp to full output.

Confirm that all terminal strip connections are firmly connected. b. Check in-line and built-in fuses. Both "12V"and "RMT" terminals must have +12 Volts to chassis ground.
