(illustration - show all amplifier parts, wires, and hardware)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE INSTAL LATION
Before you install your amplifier, rea d all the instructions in this owner’s manual.
And, you should be able to answer all of these questions about your vehicle’s electrical and autosound systems.
• Does my vehicle have an autosound system, such as a car stereo or CD
player, already installed? (You must have a n existing aut osound system to use
this amplifier.)
• How do I connect a wire to the fuse box?
• Which of the autosound system’s wires is the power wire?
• Which of the autosound system’s terminals are low-level outputs and which are
high-level (speaker) outputs?
Also, be aware that installation in your v ehicle might require cutting or modifying
your vehicle.

Choosing a Mounting
Location
A good location for mounting the amplifier is in your vehicle’s trunk. Wh erever you decide t o moun t it, choos e a
location that:
• Does not interfere with the vehicle’s operation
• Lets you drill mounting hole s without damaging other vehicle components
• Allows enough space around the
cooling fins for proper airflow and
cooling
• Lets you easily see the ampl ifier’s
POWER and PROTECTION indicators
Warnin
while it is on. Do not touch the amplifier
or place flammable objects near it
while it is on.
The amplifier gets very hot
:
Preparing the Mounting Area
Before you mount the a mplifier, make
sure you have all the materials you
need, such as an adapter harness,
additional wire, shielded audio cables,
and 16- or 18-gauge marked or colorcoded wires.
Then con firm that the amplifier fits in
your vehicle’s available mounting area. This amplifier requires a 2
high by 10 -inch wi de by 12
(5.2 ¥ 25.4 ¥ 30.8 cm) mounting area
with adequate ventilation space.

/8-inch deep
Routing Cables and W ires
Avoid routing the connection cables
and any speaker wires near moving
parts or sharp edges. You can usually
route wires and cables along the wiring
channel b eneath the vehic le’ s door facings by carefully removing the molding
that holds the carpet in place. After
routing the cables and wires, replace
the molding.
INSTALLATION ORDER
For trouble-free installation, simply follow the sections in this Owner’s Manual in order. First, temporarily connect
the amplifier to:
Ground and power
Your autosound system’s outputs
Your speakers
Then test the connections. When you
verify that everything works as expected, disconnect the amplifier , mount it in
your vehicle, and reconnect it.
Caution:

BEFORE YOU MAKE THE
CONNECTIONS
The supplied connection cables include all the lead wires you need to
connect the amp l ifier to ground, power,
and your existing autosound system.
Important:
• Do not cut these wires. If you cut
any wire, you cannot obtain a
refund or exchange on t his product. However, RadioShack
provide warranty service if you cut
a wire and find the product is
defective.
• If the connectors on your vehicle’s
autosound system are not compatible with the amplifier’s connectors, you might need an
adapter harness to complete the
connections. RadioShack stores
sell adapter harnesses for most
vehicles.
will
Cautions:
• For added safety and to protect
your amplifier and autosound system, disconnect the cable from
your vehicle’s negative (–) battery
terminal before you begin.
• Be sure your front speakers can
handle as much as 20 watts per
channel and your rear speakers
as much as 55 wat ts per channel
of power. Each speaker must
have an impedance of at least 4
ohms. Your local RadioShack
store carries a full line of speakers.
You might need additional wire, depending on your individual autosound
system, to complete the connections.
Your local RadioShack sto re carries a
full line of wire a nd wire managem ent

CONNECTING GROUND AND
SWITCHED/PRIMARY POWER
Follow these steps to connect the amplifier to ground, switched power, and
primary power.
1. If you have not done so already,
disconnect the cable from your
vehicle’s negative (–) battery terminal.
2. Use a screwdriver to connect the
spade end of the supplied black
ground wire to the am pl ifier ’s
(ground) terminal.
3. Connect the black ground wire’s
other end to a chassis ground,
such as a metal bolt attached to a
metal part of the vehicle’s frame.
Be sure the bolt is not insulated
from the chassis by a plastic part.
4. Use a screwdriver to connect the
spade end of the supplied blue/
white wire to the amplifier’s
(remote power) terminal.

5. Connect the blue/white wire’s
other end to your autosound system’s switched power lead using
one of the supplied twist-on terminal connectors.
(illus)
This connection turns on the
amplifier when you turn on the
autosound system, and turns off
the amplifier when you turn off the
autosound system. This prevents
your vehicle’s battery from being
drained if you leave your am plifier
on when you turn off your autosound system.
If your autosound system does
not have a switched power lead,
connect the blue/white wire’s
other end to a point in your vehicle’s fuse block that has power
only when you turn on the ignition
or turn the key to ACC.
This connection turns on the
amplifier when you turn on the
ignition or turn the key to ACC,
and turns off the amplifier when
you turn off the ignition. This p revents your vehicle’s battery from
being drained if you leave your
amplifier on when you turn off the
ignition.
6. Use a screwdriver to connect the
spade end of the supplied red
power cable (with in-line fuse
holder) to the amplifier ’s
+ 12V
ter-
minal.
7. Connect the other end of the red
power cable to your vehicle’s positive (+) battery terminal as shown.
Then tighten the terminal.
(illus)
Caution:
Due to the amplifier’s
high current requirement, you
must

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Optimus XL-150 High Power 4-Channel Stereo Amplifier is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The follow ing suggestions will help you care for
your amplifier so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the amplifier dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Keep the amplifier away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Handle the amplifier gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the amplifier to work improperly.
Wipe the amplifier with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the amplifier.
Modifying or tampe ring with the amplifier’s internal components c an cause a malfunction and might invalidate your amplifier’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your amplifier is not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
Your amplifier might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To determine whether your amplifier is causing the interference, turn off your
amplifier. If the interference goes away, your amplifier is causing it. Try to eliminate
the interference by:
• Moving your amplifier away from the receiver
• Contacting your local RadioShack store for help
