WARNING
High powered audio systems in a vehicle are capable of generating Live Concert high
levels of sound pressure,Continual exposure to excessively high volume sound levels may
cause hearing loss or damage.Also,operation of a motor vehicle while listening to audio
equipments at high volume levels may impair your ability to hear external sounds such as;
horns,warning signals,or emergency vehicles,thus constituting to a potential traffic hazard.
In the interest of safety,Consumer Electronics recommends listening at lower volume levels
While driving.

Questions and answers
How to hook it up
To hook up the Power Acoustik PS2-420 amplifier:
1. Select Mounting Location:
- Choose a location with good air circulation.
- Avoid small enclosures without airflow.
- For best cooling, mount vertically in a trunk or under a seat with at least 1 inch (2 cm) clearance above the fins.
2. Mount the Amplifier:
- Use the amplifier as a template to mark and drill four mounting holes.
- Secure it using the provided screws.
3. Connect Power:
- Run a power wire from the battery to the amplifier.
- Connect a ground wire to a clean, unpainted metal surface near the amp.
- Use a remote turn-on wire from the head unit to the amp's remote input.
4. Connect Inputs:
- Use pre-amp (low-level) RCA outputs from the head unit to the amplifier for better sound quality and lower distortion.
5. Connect Speakers:
- Connect speaker wires from the amplifier output to the speakers or subwoofers.
- Ensure speaker impedance is between 2–8 Ohms and power rating matches or exceeds the amplifier’s output.
6. Adjust Settings:
- Use the input sensitivity control to match input levels.
- If using as a subwoofer channel, set the filter switch to LPF and adjust the crossover frequency (40Hz–250Hz) as needed.
7. Check Operation:
- Power on the system and verify operation using the power indicator LED.
Ensure all wiring is secure and properly insulated.
