The HT-2 utilizes removable speaker terminal blocks for easier installations and stronger power Speaker Terminal Inputs connections. The terminal blocks are designed to accept 12 AWG- 16 AWG speaker wire. When preparing the wire you will need to strip 5/8” of the cables protective shielding. Then take a small flat head screwdriver and back out the screw on the terminal block.

Setting up the Amplifier Because of the wide range of head unit/radio output configurations all Wet Sounds amplifiers have Input Selection an adjustable input sensitivity or “GAIN”. The gain is NOT a volume or a power limiting control similar to a throttle. It makes the amplifier more sensitive to input from the stereo. When the gain is turned up the amplifier will reach full output at lower volume levels on the head unit/radio.
B. Confirm that there are no loose wires that could be grounding out the amplifier. C. Check that the amplifier has sufficient air circulation where it is located. Insufficient air flow and overdriving the audio system could result in the amplifier going into protection to preserve the amplifier. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wet Sounds HT-2 Owner’s Manual...
