- Page 5 WIRING The following is a basic formula to be used as a guide to determine amperage draw. A 50% amplifier efficiency rating is used as an average. Your new POWERCLASS ™ amplifier is more efficient, other amplifiers will probably be less. This formula is to be used as a guideline. Using wire of a larger gauge can only improve the current transfer of your system.
- Page 6 WIRING Before beginning, disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the battery prior to working on the positive (+) terminal to prevent a short to ground. This is important, unless you want to spend the rest of your life with a nickname like "Sparky," or "Smokey." Reconnect the negative terminal only after all connections have been made.
- Page 7 POWER / GROUND Locate an area near the amplifier(s) that is metal and clean an area about the size of a quarter to bare metal. Inspect the area around and underneath to be sure you won't drill into wires, brake or fuel lines, etc. Drill a pilot hole into the middle of this area.
- Page 8 SPEAKER WIRING Using 16 gauge or larger, run the speaker wires from the amplifier location through the vehicle to the speakers. Observe the same precautions for routing these wires that you followed for running the power and remote turn-on wires. Cut off excess and, using wire strippers, strip 1/4 inch of insulation.

- Page 10 INPUTS There are two sets of RCA jacks on the front end of your amplifier. The RCA cables from your head unit go in the set labeled INPUTS. If your head unit doesn't have RCA outputs don't worry. Simply add a set of RCA plugs (available at your dealer) to your front or rear set of speaker leads (see drawing below), plug them into the input jacks, and push in the INPUT ATTENUATION button.
- Page 11 90Hz crossover built in to provide system flexibility without the added expense and installation of an outboard crossover. The PC2100 has a third-order Butterworth type 18dB per octave crossover, and the PC2200 and PC2300 house a fourth-order Linkwitz-Riley type, 24dB per octave phase correlated crossover for a tighter sound.
- Page 12 AMPLIFIER ADJUSTMENT A d j u s t i n g T h e A m p l i f i e r I n p u t G a i n 1. Adjust all amplifier input gain controls to just above minimum sensitivity (fully counterclockwise).
- Page 13 TROUBLE SHOOTING NO SOUND Is the LED lit? Check Power and Remote turn-on wire for voltage. Make sure Ground wire is secure. STILL NO SOUND - See your Authorized PrecisionPower Dealer or Call 1-800-62POWER . SOUND IN ONE CHANNEL ONLY Reverse left and right speakers by unplugging the speaker connector, turning it over and plugging it back in.
