Waterproof:

Your NA2 ampliﬁer is an IPX6 waterproof level.

Though this is a Marine IPX6 rated ampliﬁer, whenever possible, mount the ampliﬁer in a dry, well-ventilated location that does not interfere with other factory installed electronic devices. If a dry environment is not available, a location that is not exposed to heavy splashing may be used.

While this ampliﬁer is designed to be water-resistant, it should never be submerged under water or subjected to high-pressure water spray. Do not install where it will be directly exposed to the elements.

Heaving an ampliﬁer sealed to the elements at IPX6 level means that heat generated inside the amp has nowhere to escape. Playing hard with your NA2 will get it Hot. That’s ﬁne and normal. But, avoid touching the ampliﬁer’s surface during or right after use.

A. Installation Applications:

The NMC3 / NMB3 is designed for operation with 12 volts, negative-ground electrical systems. Using this product in systems with positive ground and/or voltages other than 12V may result in damage to the product and will void the warranty.

B. Safety Considerations:

• Though this is a Marine IPX6 rated ampliﬁer, whenever possible, mount the ampliﬁer in a dry, well-ventilated location that does not interfere with other factory installed electronic devices. If a dry environment is not available, a location that is not exposed to heavy splashing may be used.

• While this ampliﬁer is designed to be water-resistant, it should never be submerged under water or subjected to high-pressure water spray. Do not install where it will be directly exposed to the elements.

• Securely mount the ampliﬁer so that it does not come loose in the event of a collision/sudden jolt or as a result of repeated vibrations during normal operation.

• Check before drilling to make sure that you will not be drilling into an exterior panel/hull, fuel tank, gas/brake line, wiring harness, or other vital system.

Do not mount the ampliﬁer in the engine compartment or in any areas of extreme heat. Mounting the unit in the engine compartment will void your warranty.

• Protect all system wires from sharp edges (metal, ﬁberglass, etc.) by carefully routing them, tying them down and using grommets and loom where appropriate.

• Secure all wiring as needed, using cable ties or wire clamps to protect them from moving parts and sharp edges.

Do not run system wiring outside or underneath the vehicle/vessel. This is an extremely dangerous practice, which can result in severe damage/injury.

C. Installation Procedure/Connections

Power/Protect Indicator:

If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it installed by a qualiﬁed technician.

Before installation Disconnect the NEGATIVE battery post connection and secure the disconnected cable to prevent accidental reconnection during installation. This is an essential safety precaution during installation!

Avoid running power wires near the low-level input cables, antenna, power leads, sensitive equipment or harnesses. The power wires carry substantial current and could induce noise into the audio system.

1. Connect the RED power lead to the positive (+12V) battery post.

There are two status indicator lights on the end panel of the ampliﬁer.

1. “POWER” (Blue): Lights to indicate that the ampliﬁer is turned on and operating normally. 2. “PROTECT” (Red): Lights to indicate the ampliﬁer’s protection circuitry has been activated to prevent product failure due to thermal overload, over current or short-circuit to the ampliﬁer’s outputs. When this protection mode is activated, the ampliﬁer will shut down to protect its circuitry. When the problem is corrected, the ampliﬁer will return to normal operation and the “Protect” LED will shut o.

3. Fuse. Your NA2 already includes a 20A fuse. The NA2 power wires are 8’ long, while the Fuse housing located on the Red/Positive power wire at 3.3’ of wire from the ampliﬁer.

4. Connect the NR male controller DIN plug to the NA2’s female DIN plug. * Powering the NA2 ampliﬁer. Long pressing your NR controller’s power button for few seconds will trigger both the NR controller and the NA2 ampliﬁer ON/OFF.

5. Run the speakers wires to the ampliﬁer’s output. Make sure about correct polarity when connecting your speakers to the ampliﬁer. speaker’s Red wire (+) should connect to color (+) output channels. speakers’s Black wire (-) should be connected to color / Black (-) output channels.

Spea

ker connection color codes:

6. If you haven t already done so, mount the amp now.

7. Now you should be good to go and play tunes for the ﬁrst time.

2. We strongly recommend to run the Black/Ground power cable to the negative (-12V) battery post.

Blue / Remote Turn-On wire is not required for installing or running your NA2 ampliﬁer. The NR controller is able to power trigger your ampliﬁer

You have plenty of power wire length before the fuse holder (3.3’). Strive to leave no more than 18” (45.7 cm) of wire between the fuse holder and the battery positive (+12V) terminal. You can cut the remaining wire.

Speaker Wiring

Speaker Wiring:

The N3 has long wiring, well protected in a wiring sleeve.

- You can cut the wiring to a desired length for a clean installation. But, make sure to do so only after you ﬁnished installing your entire audio system, including its ampliﬁer.

- Connect the speaker wires to your ampliﬁer ensuring correct polarity; Red to positive and Black to negative.

Running your N3 wiring:

Run the N3’s wires along and attached the Bike’s cage/body all the way to the ampliﬁer’s location. Use cable ties to ensure it will be kept away from sharp edges to avoid the possibility of getting pinched by moving mechanisms.

...to ensure it is away...

Importnt featurs of the N3

Please read before ﬁrst use

Handlebar Fitment:

Your N3 speakers can be mounted on 7/8”, 1” & 1.25” handlebars. Inside the N3 package are two rubber inserts: For 7/8” handlebar, use the thicker rubber insert. For 1” handlebar, use the thinner rubber insert. For 1.25” handlebar, no rubber insert is required. simply mount the bracket directly on your handlebar.

Choosing the right angle:

The N3 speakers can be mounted in various angles. The M8 screw found on the bottom of the speaker can be loosened to allow full rotation of the speaker. (see page 5) The bracket itself can also be rotated around the handlebar, allowing you to mount the speaker above or underneath the handlebar.

Replacing the speaker:

If, for any reason, you need to replace your speaker, you can easily do it. on the back of your N3 speaker you will ﬁnd a M6 Allen screw. using a M4 Allen wrench, unscrew this screw. You can now take o your speaker and replace it with new one.
