Important Safety Instructions
2
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as muers, silencers, exhaust pipes, or other apparatus (including ampliers) that produce heat.
9. WARNING: Improper installation may lead to permanent injury or death. Installation of the apparatus must be done with great care by qualied personnel, to prevent damage to fuel lines, power and other electrical wiring, hydraulic brake lines, and other systems, that might compromise vehicle safety.
10. Provide +12V and Ground wiring of sucient size to ensure adequate current to the amplier. For the LC-1.1500 this means 0 to 2 gauge wire.
11. Use rubber grommets to protect wiring whenever passing wires through metal openings or bulkheads.
12. Only use attachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.
13. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as the power in­put terminals are damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
14. This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no object lled with liquids, shall be placed on the apparatus.
15. Fuses shall be replaced only with the correct type and fuse value, and only when the apparatus is powered o.
16. Exposure to high sound pressure levels may lead to permanent hearing loss. Take every precaution to protect your hearing.
The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure, that may be of sucient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and mainte­nance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
Caution: to reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the apparatus, other than to remove the top panel to access the controls. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualied personnel.
Recycling notice: If the time comes and this apparatus has fullled its destiny, do not throw it out into the trash. It has to be carefully recycled for the good of mankind, by a facility specially equipped for the safe recycling of electronic apparatii. Please contact your local or state recycling leaders for assistance in locating a suitable nearby recycling facility. Or, contact us and we might be able to repair it for you.

Connection Panel Features

1. Fuses 40A – Replace the fuses only with the exact same style and Ampere rating. Disconnect 12V power before changing or inspecting the fuses.
2. Power Input Terminal +12V – This screw terminal connects to the +12V battery binding post of the vehicle. Use quality insulated wiring of the recommended wire gauge, such as wire gauge 2 or thicker. Thinner wire may cause an overheating hazard due to the large currents involved.
3. Remote Power Input Terminal – This screw terminal connects to the 12V remote trigger output of some head units. When the head unit is turned on, then the LC-1.1500 amplier will turn on. Alternatively, you can use the GTO feature of the amplier so it will turn on when an audio signal is detected at the speaker-level or line-level inputs.

4. Power Input Terminal Ground – This screw terminal connects to a good ground connection on the vehicle.
5. Speaker-Level Inputs – The LC-1.1500 amplier is supplied with a standard 4-conductor plug that allows for easy installation and removal. The speaker-level output from ampliers and factory installed radios can connect here, so the LC-1.1500 will receive the audio signals and do its subwoofer thing. The left and right audio signals are summed internally to produce a mono subwoof­er signal. Make sure that you follow the plus and minus polarity markings on the LC-1.1500 and match it to the polarity of the speaker wiring. Do not use the RCA Line-level inputs if you are using the speaker-level inputs.

6. RCA Analog Line-Level Inputs – The line-level output from the
head unit or factory installed radios can connect here, so the LC-1.1500 will receive the line-level audio signals. The left and right signals are summed internally to produce a mono subwoofer signal. Do not use the speaker-level inputs if you are using the RCA line-level inputs.
7. Remote Control Connector – This connects to the optional ACR-1 remote control and allows you to remotely control the output level.
8. Speaker-Level Output Terminals – These screw terminals con­nect with speaker wire to the subwoofer, or multiple subwoofers. Make sure that the average combined speaker impedance does not dip below 2 Ohm. The LC-1.1500 has four connections (2 plus and 2 minus).
