Features
Your RadioShack High-Power 2/1 Channel Bridgeable Amplifier produces a total
of 200 watts to give added punch and
power to your vehicle’s existing auto
sound system.
The amplifier produces up to 100 watts
per channel (if bridged) of cl ean, powerful sound at all audio frequencies with
minimum distortion. You can connect
your auto sound system’s low-level or
speaker-level outputs to this amplifier.
Its features include:
14K Gold-Plated Noise-Isolated LowLevel Input Jacks — let you connect
low-level (preamplifier) signal inputs to
match your auto sound system’s output
for the best high-fidelity performance.
14K Gold-Plated Speaker Terminals
— provide low impedance, high conductivity, and minimum corrosion for the
highest signal transfer and lowest sound
distortion.
Mute Turn-On Circuit — eliminates the
thump you hear when you turn on so me
amplifiers.
Power Indicator — lights when power
is supplied to the amplifier.
Protection Indicator — lights if the amplifier shuts itself down.
Crossover Frequency Circuit — lets
you adjust the crossover frequency from
45–400 Hz. This lets you set up the amplifier so you can connect a subwoofer.
Short-Circuit Protection — distorts the
amplifier’s sound if any output channel
shorts, alerting you to turn off the auto
sound system.
Auto-Off — protects the amplifier by
temporarily shutting down if it gets too
hot or it detects an input overload. The
amplifier restarts automatically when it
cools or the problem is corrected.
Input Level Controls — let you adjust
the level of the audio signals that enter
the amplifier.
Automatic Power Switching — can
automatically turn the amplifie r on or off
when you turn your auto sound system
on or off (depending on how you hook
up the amplifier).
Bridging Capability — lets you combine the amplifier’s two 100-watt channels so you can use the amplifier with
only one channel that produces a total of
200 watts.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE
INSTALLATION
Before you install your amplifier, you
should be able to answer all of these
questions about your vehicle’s electrical
and auto sound systems.
• Does my vehicle have an auto
sound system, such as a car stereo
or CD player, already installed?
(You must have an existing auto
sound system to use this amplifier.)
• How do I connect a wire to the fuse
box?
• Which of the auto sound system’s
wires is the power wire?
• Which of the auto sound system’s
terminals are low-level outputs and
which are high-level (speaker) outputs?

Choosing a Mounting Location
A good location for mounting the amplifier is in your vehicle’s trunk. Wherever
you decide to mount it, choose a mounting location that:
• does not interfere with the vehicle’s
operation
• lets you drill mounting holes without
damaging other vehicle components
• allows enough space around the
cooling fins for proper airflow and
cooling
• lets you easily see the amplifier’s

Warning: The amplifier gets very hot
while it is on. Do not touch the amplifier
or place flammable objects near it while
it is on.
Preparing the Mounting Area
Before you mount the amplifier, make
sure you have all the materials you
need, such as an adapter harness, a dd itional wire, shielded audio cables, and
16- or 18-gauge marked or color-coded
wires. (Parts and accessories are available at your local RadioShack store.)
Then confirm that the amplifier fits in
your vehicle’s available mounting area.
This amplifier requires a 3

Routing Cables and Wires
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 beneath the vehicle’s door facings by
carefully removing the molding that holds
the carpet in place. After rou ting the cables and wires, replace the molding.
INSTALLATION
SEQUENCE
For trouble-free installation, simply follow the instructions in the order they appear in this Owner’s Manual.
First make all the connections by tempo rarily connecting the amplifier to:
1. Ground and power
2. Your auto sound system’s outputs
3. 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: If you do not make the connections in the order shown, or if you
connect any wires incorrectly, your amplifier or your auto sound system could
be damaged.
Note: For easier installation, mark each
wire you plan to connect with the name
of the terminal you will connect it to.
BEFORE YOU MAKE THE
CONNECTIONS
The supplied connection cables include
all the lead wires you need to connect
the amplifier to ground, power, and your
existing auto sound system.
Important:
• Do not cut these wires. If you cut
any wire, you cannot obtain a refund
or exchange on this product. However, RadioShack will provide warranty service if you cut a wire and
find the product is defective.
• If the connectors on your vehicle’s
auto sound 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.
You might need additional wire to complete the connections, depending on

your individual auto sound system. Your
local RadioShack store carries a full line
of wire and wire management accessories.
Cautions:
• For added safety and to protect your
amplifier and auto sound system,
disconnect the cable from your vehicle’s negative (–) battery terminal
before you begin.
• Be sure your speakers can handle
as much as 200 watts of power (100
watts per channel if you connect

of speakers, or 200 watts per channel if you connect your auto sound
system to a subwoofer and bridge
the amplifier’s outputs). Each
speaker must have an impedance of
at least 4 ohms. Your local RadioShack store carries a full line of
speakers.
To make it easier to gauge wire length
and connect the amplifier, temporarily
place the amplifier as close as possible
to the selected mounting location.

Care and Maintenance
Your RadioShack High-Power 2/1 Channel Bridgeable Amplifier is an example of
superior design and craftsmanship. The following 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 th e ele ctr on ic 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 tampering with the amplifier’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its 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
