INSTALLATION

• Use at least 8-gauge wire for power and ground connections
• Use at least 12-gauge wire for speaker connections
• Use at least 16-gauge wire for remote connection
• Mount the amplifier where it can receive the best ventilation
• Use the shortest ground connection to the chassis of the vehicle and make
sure that the paint is removed at the connection point
• Connect the remote input to the remote/antenna output of the head unit
• Mount the fuse holder within 200mm(8") of the vehicle's battery. Use a
fuse equal to that specified for your amplifier if a large, single +12V line is
run which feeds more than one amplifier add up all required fuse ratings
and use the total rating for the fuse
• Connect the speaker to the amplifier observing the correct phasing. Make
sure that none of the speaker connections can touch the vehicle chassis
• Connect the RCA inputs to the appropriate signal source using only the
highest quality RCA cables
• Make sure that the RCA and speaker cables do not run parallel to the
+12V wiring
