Thank you for purchasing our car audio amplifier. These power amplifier has been designed to provide high quality performance with minimum maintenance. However, it's performance will only be as good as the care and quality of components with which is installed. We therefore advise that you read these instructions very carefully to familiarize yourself with the product and it's features.

Before installing the power amplifier please read this instruction manual carefully. The instructions for mounting and connecting the set have to be followed precisely. If necessary, a service center should be consulted.

All connection for DC power, signal input and speaker outputs can be carried out easily and safely by way of RCA and screwed terminals.

Please choose a mounting place without any direct weather influences. Note that the amplifier generates heat so that a well ventilated place is necessary. According to your car's construction the set can be made very carefully in order to ensure the amplifier's full performance and reliability.

Keep the wire connections as short as possible with sufficient length in order to minimize power losses and provide a higher audio output of the system.

For safety reasons route all power and speaker wiring by using the exiting wire channels.

To minimize damage to the cables, take care that they do not pass sharp edged metal.

Lay all cables as far away as possible from the ignition cables, modules in the boot and under the key dashboard, as these create interference.

Add a fuse into the (+) power cable in a distance of not more than30cm from the positive battery pole. Keep the length of the power wires as short as possible . It is better to use power cables which are short and then longer speaker cables. In order to reduce interference , please pay attention to the wiring instructions.

OPERATION

GND(-)=GROUND CONNECTION

Connect the GND terminal to the chassis ground of your car and take care of best electric and mechanic contact. In doing so, drill a hole in to the car chassis near the amplifier then remove color, dirt or any other substance from the ground point. After that fasten the cable end with added ring terminal by using a screw. Ensure that the ground connection is as short as possible and that the cable diameter is sufficient ( min 4 mm" ). Route the ground cables from the radio and all other equipment parts. like equalizer. active crossover network or other amplifiers, to the same ground point.

+12V=POWER SUPPLY

Connect the +12V terminal to the positive pole of the battery with a lead cable and add a fuse in to the power cable in a distance of not more then 30 cm from the battery. The lead cables's diameter should be at least 4 mm' for a length of 3m and 6 mm" for a length of 6m.

REM(ON/OFF)REMOTE CONTROL

Connect the REM terminal to the automatic antenna connector of your car radio. Now when turning on and off your car radio. the amplifier automatically switches ON and OFF. A cable diameter of 0.5mm is sufficient.

FUSE

The amplifier is equipped with a plug-in auto fuse protecting the set against fault conditions. Do not use a fuse with a higher value and never bridge the fuse over, as this may lead to irreparability damage so that ant any claim for warranty is denied.

No Function:

The connection cable is not connected correctly ( = terminal BATT/GND /REM). Ensure that all connections and mechanic contact and that the jacket has been removed. The fuse is defective-pay attention to the correct value of a new fuse!

No Sound:

Speaker cable or speaker plug are not connected correctly.

No Sound /Red LED Protection Shines:

The plus and minus wires of the speaker cable have contact, thus eliminate the short circuit. If you use a 2 Ohm speaker in stereo mode, a 4 Ohm speaker in bridge mode or tri-mode and the se is overloaded, then turn the gain control to "min " until the operation is free of trouble.

Poor Sound Quality ( Distortions ):

The speakers are overloaded, therefore turn down the volume level and check the volume control positions.

No Stereo Sound And A Weak Bass:

Speaker cables (+) and (-) are mixed up, unit wired out of phase.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

PRECAUTIONS

FUSE REPLACEMENT

If the fuse blows, check the power connection and replace the f use. If the fuse blows again after replacement, there may be an internal malfunction. In this case, consult your dealer.

WARNING:

Use the specified amperage fuse. Use of a higher amperage fuse may cause serious damage.

PROTECTION CIRCUIT:

This amplifier is provided with a protection circuit which operates in the following cases when: the unit is overheated. the speaker terminals are short circuited.

This unit is designed for negative ground 12V DC operation only. Use speakers with an impedance of 2 or 4 Ohms ( 2 to 4 Ohm when used as bridging amplifier ) Avoid installing the unit where:

-It would be subject to high temperatures, such as from direct sunlight or hot air from the heater.

-It would be exposed to rain or moisture.

-It would be subject to dust or dirt. If your car is parked in direct sunlight and there is a considerable rise in temperature inside the car, allow the unit to cool off before operation. When installing the unit horizontally, be sure not to cover the heatsink fins with the floor carpet. If this unit is placed too close to the car radio, an interference may occur. In this case, separate the amplifier from the car radio. This power amplifier employs a protection circuit to protect the transistors and speakers if the amplifier m lfunctions. Do not attempt to test the protection circuits by covering the heatsink or connecting improper loads. Do not use the unit with a weak auto battery as its optimum performance depends on a normal battery supply voltage. For safety reasons, keep the volume of your car audio system moderate so that you can still hear normal traffic sounds outside your car.
