Please note!

Tools and materials you need

• As a precaution it is advisable to disconnect the vehicle’s battery before making connection to the +12 Volts supply wiring (see owner’s manual of your car for fur ther information).

• Please use great caution drilling your trunk. Your gas tank and brake lines can be damaged by puncturing with your drill bit – this could cause damage or failure of your cars operating systems.

• Never pass wires over sharp angles. It is recommended to buffer the power supply of the amplifier with a capacitor min. 1 Farad to guarantee a stable operation voltage.

High powered audio systems in a vehicle are capable of generating "Live Concert" levels of sound pressure. Continued exposure to

excessively high volume sound levels may cause hearing loss or damage. Also, operation of a motor vehicle while listening to audio

equipment 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.

Planning your system

Before beginning the installation, consider the following:

a. If you plan to expand your system by adding other components sometime in the future, ensure adequate space is left, and

cooling requirements are met.

b. If your radio / source is equipped with pre-amp outputs, it is possible to utilize them to drive the amplifier

Mounting your amplifier

a. Select a suitable location that is convenient for mounting, is accessible for wiring and has ample room for air circulation and cooling. b. Use the amplifier as a template to mark the mounting holes, remove the amplifier.

Chose a mounting position where all eclectic wires are protected from being damaged by sharp edges, heat or other conditions. +12Volt DC electrical connections must be fused on the battery side. Make sure your radio and all other devices will b e turned off while connection your system. If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only with a fuse identical to that supplied with the system. Using a fuse of different type or rating may result in damage to this system which isn’t covered by the warranty.

High Level Input

The Auto-On function allows you to use the amplifier without an additional remote connection. This makes it possible to operate it with an OEM headunit and OEM active systems, which are not equipped with cinch ouputs or switched remote-outputs.

High Level Input – GZIA 1.600HPX-II

Depending on the configuration of your car and sound system, error noises may a ppear when using the high level inputs. Please use the additional middle ground-connection of this input to reduce these noises. Connect this wire to the GND powerterminal. A connection to the GND connection of the signal source can also be useful.

The Auto-On function allows you to use the amplifier without an additional remote connection.

The remote terminal will not be used.
