This power amplifier has been designed to provide high quality performance with a minimum of maintenance. However, it's performance will only be as good as the care and quality of components with which it is installed. We therefore advise that you read these instructions very carefully to familiarize yourself with the product and it's features. Should you require assistance with the installation or wiring of this unit, please call our toll-free "HELP" line at 1-800-645-4994 during the days/hours shown.

PRECAUTIONSPRECAUTIONS
1. Although this unit is designed with built-in self-protection circuits, there may be a possibility of damage if it is not wired correctly. Please follow the wiring instructions carefully for the type of system being used.
2 . The last lead to be connected is the wire to the positive (
completed and checked all other connections to the amplifier.
3 . By nature of its design, a power amplifier generates heat and requires good air circulation around it to dissipate that
heat. Do not install the amplifier in an enclosed area which does not permit adequate air circulation. Should the temperature of the unit rise too high, the internal thermal sensors will shut off operation until it has cooled down sufficiently.
4. If fuse replacement is necessary, use only fuses of the same ampere rating as originally supplied with the unit. The use of fuses with incorrect ratings may cause serious damage to the amplifier. If fuses blow consistently, carefully check all electrical connections to the unit.
5 . Supply of adequate battery voltage is critical to the proper operation of the power amplifier. The leads to the battery

1. Select a mounting area where the amplifier will have sufficient air circulation for proper cooling. Inadequate air circulation will cause the temperature of the amplifier to rise and will trigger the thermal protection mode.
2. Place the amplifier on the mounting surface and mark the locations of the four mounting holes as shown in the illustration.
3 . Remove the amplifier and drill a 1/8" hole a t

The power and speaker wire connections for this amplifier are made via screw tightened terminal blocks. Loosen the screw for the connection to be made and fully insert the wire (strip 1/2" of insulation from the end) into the respective screw on the side panel (crimp-on "U" terminals are provided to simplify wiring and we recommend their use.) Tighten the screw down to secure the wire.
1. Power Connection1. Power Connection
1. Power Connection
1. Power Connection1. Power Connection The battery terminal (BATT) must be connected directly to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery to provide an adequate voltage source and minimize noise. Connecting the battery terminal lead to any other point (such as the fuse block) will reduce the power output and may cause noise and distortion. Use only #) wire for this lead and connect it to the terminal of the battery after all other wiring is completed.
2. Ground Connection2. Ground Connection

2. Ground Connection2. Ground Connection The ground terminal (GND) connection is also critical to the correct operation of the amplifier. Use a wire of the same gauge as the power connection ( a metal part of the vehicle close to the mounting location. This wire should be as short as possible and any paint or rust at the grounding point should be scraped away to provide a clean metal surface to which the end of the ground wire can be screwed or bolted.

3. Remote Turn-On Connection
3. Remote Turn-On Connection3. Remote Turn-On Connection The amplifier is turned on by applying +12 volts to the remote turn-on terminal (REM). The wire lead to this terminal should be connected to the "Auto-Antenna" lead from the car stereo which will provide the +12 volts only when the car stereo is turned on. If the car stereo does not provide an Auto-Antenna lead, the remote turn-on lead may be wired to an "Accessory" or "Radio" terminal in the car's fuse block. This will turn the amplifier on and off with the ignition key, regardless of whether the car stereo is on or off. The remote turn-on lead does not carry large currents, so #20 gauge wire may be used for this application.

4. Speaker Connections4. Speaker Connections Depending on the type and number of speakers used with the amplifier, wire them to the speaker terminals as per the appropriate wiring diagram. For most applications, #18 gauge wire should be used for the speaker leads but in no case thinner than #20 gauge. For leads in excess of 10 feet, #16 gauge is recommended. When wiring the speakers, pay careful attention to the polarity of the terminals on the speakers and make certain they correspond to the polarity of the corresponding terminals on the amplifier.

5. Input Connections5. Input Connections This amplifier features both high and low-level input capability. Use either the low-level or high-level inputs, not both.
If low-level outputs are provided from the car stereo, it is recommended that the low-level inputs be used for lowest distortion and best performance. Use good quality shielded audio cables with RCA plugs at both ends to connect the stereo to the amplifier and keep the cable lengths to a minimum to avoid noise.
If the car stereo does not provide low-level outputs, the amplifier may be connected via the speaker (high-level) outputs from the stereo. Wire the speaker leads from the car stereo to the 5-pin adaptor harness as shown in the diagram (shielded cable is not required for this application) and plug the connector into the mating High-Level Input socket on the amplifier. Carefully splice and insulate all wire connections.
