NOTE: TOOLS ARE NOT SUPPLIED

Small flat blade screwdriver
Phillips screwdriver (#2 or medium sized)
Wire cutters
Wire strippers
4 - #6 round head screws, and 1 - #8 sheet metal screw
(or nut, bolt, flat washer star washer) [see detail]
2 - Ring connectors (large enough to accommodate your
method of grounding)
In-line fuse or circuit breaker - see fuse chart below
Power and ground wire - see Power Wire Calculator on page 4
Speaker wire - 16 gauge or larger (up to 12 gauge)
Grommets (sized to work with the power wire you plan to use
in your installation)
Tube of silicone sealant

You will need to install an in-line fuse or circuit breaker in the power wire
within 18" of the battery. This fuse or circuit breaker is to protect your vehicle
from fire in case the power wire shorts to the vehicle body. If you are only

using one amplifier, use the fuse rating indicated in this chart. If you are using
more than one amplifier, add up the fuse ratings for all the amplifiers. This sum is
the rating for your main fuse or circuit breaker.You may also want to add a power
distribution block near your amplifiers to distribute large gauge power cable to
multiple amplifiers.

Before beginning, disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the battery prior to
working on the positive (+) terminal to prevent a short to ground. This is important,
unless you want to spend the rest of your life with a nickname like "Sparky," or
"Smokey." Reconnect the negative terminal only after all connections have been
made.

Warning! A Main Fuse must be installed within 18" of battery!
