Input and controls
Input Wiring
Inputs may be low level from the RCA output of the car
stereo or high level from the car stereo speaker out-
put. Low level = RCA is to prefer for the best sound
quality.
Important
Use either the low level or high level input, do not
use both at same time.
Low level input
Use a pair of shielded stereo audio cables with RCA
type jack. Most trunk-mount amplifiers need a 20
feet RCA cable ( appr 5 – 6
meters). Most under the seat
installations require 12 feet
( 2 – 3 meters) RCA cables.
Avoid placing the RCA cable
close to speaker cables,
power cables and remote
control cable. Connect to in-
put socket R/L.
RM40 has dual inputs, Front R/L (CH1/2) & Rear R/
L (CH3/4). Depending on your chosen configuration
you can use either two separate RCA cables, or a
single RCA cable together with an Y-split to connect
both inputs.
RM30 has dual inputs, one for the stereo channels
(Input R/L, CH1, CH2), and one for the mono
channel (Sub Input R/L, CH3, CH4), both inputs
must be connected on the mono channel input
socket.
Parallel input on RM30
If you don't have dual line cables to
front and sub Input you can use a
single line cable. Connect to the ste-
reo input sockets and set the Parallel
input swich to position P-sub and the
signal is fed to the Sub input socket
automatically.

Use RCA Outputs to
connect additional

amplifiers (not available on
RM30 / RM40).

High Level Input wiring
Connect left and right speaker wires coming from
the car stereo to the high level input as shown. You
must connect both plus and minus as the inputs are
balanced, connecting plus only gives lower level and
bad sound quality. By changing the polarity of plus
and minus, you can change the phase.
RM10/15/20/30
On these models you connect as in this example:
High Input
(L/R Ch)
RM30
On RM30 the high level signal is fed internally to
channel SUB when using high level input.
RM40
The four channel amplifier is connected likewise,
however we have four channels.
You can feed two channels from RCA and two
channels using high level input from rear speaker
cables.

Automatic turn on when using high level input.
The amplifier turns on automatically when using high
level input, you dont need to connect a separate
remote wire from your head unit.
For a soft turn ON /OFF operation we recommend
you to use a remote wire, if this is available.
