Precautions: Read First!

If after reading the direction you feel uncomfortable about installing the amplifier in your car, or not

equipped or competent to do so, you should have the amplifier installed by an authorized installer.
It's your car!

Negative battery terminal must be disconnected before any electrical connections are made.
Be sure choosing a location that provides substantial ventilation for the amplifier.
The most preferred locations would be in your car's trunk, under the front seats or on the back wall of

a truck.

The location chosen should provide at least 2" of clearance above the amplifier for adequate

ventilation.

If the amplifier is to be mounted vertically be sure that it is in a place where adequate air will flow

along the length of its heat sink fins for cooling.

NEVER mount the amplifier up side down; this will cause the heat to rise back into the amplifier

causing thermal shutdown or possible permanent damage.

NEVER mount the amplifier in a location that is subject to direct sunlight or exposed to moisture.
Be sure to mount the amplifier to a strong, solid surface, which will not give way under the stress of a

sudden stop or accident.

Make sure that the mounting screws will not penetrate the gas tank, brake and fuel lines, wiring or

other critical parts of your car when installed.

NEVER operate the amplifier without the proper power and ground wire 10 gauge minimum.
NEVER operate the amplifier without proper fusing. Fuse holder must be located with in 0.5 meters

from the battery. This fuse is to protect the car not the electronics. In case of a short, the fuse will
blow instead of the wire burning up. Using other than the recommended fuse ratings at the battery
and at the amplifier may cause damage to the amplifier and will void your warranty.

Do not run wiring underneath or outside the car since exposure to the elements may cause the

insulation to deteriorate rapidly, resulting in short-circuits and/or intermittent operation. All cables
should be run beneath carpets and inside trim pieces.

To help minimize interference, it is best to run the power cables along the opposite side from the

audio cables.

Whenever wires pass through metal, rubber or plastic grommets must be used to prevent the mental

from wearing through the installation and causing a short.

Whenever possible, use cable ties, mounting clamps and similar wiring aids (available from an

electrical supply or auto parts store) Adding stress relief loops to wiring is also advisable to prevent
straining or breakage.

It is best to test the system before the amplifier is mounted and interior of car is reassembled.

If the temperature inside your car reaches extreme levels (such as sitting locked up for several hours

in the hot sun or exposed to a very cold winter's day) the amplifier may go into protection mode and
shut off. Leave the unit off until the ambient temperature returns to normal.

The amplifier operates with any vehicle using a 12-volt negative ground system. If you are not sure

of the type of electrical system in your vehicle, consult your authorized dealer or qualified mechanic.

NEVER ground the speaker leads and NEVER allow the speaker leads to come in contact with each

other. Speaker wire should be 16 gauge or larger.

Remote turn on wire must be switched by the radio does not have a remote turn on or antenna

output, connect to wire that has a positive 12 volts when the key is turned to the accessory. If the
amplifier does not turn off the battery will die.

Do not listen to high volumes for extended periods of time or hearing damage may occur.

CONTINOUS EXPOSURE TO SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS OVER 100dB

MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS. HIGH POWERED AUTOSOUND

SYSTEM MAY PRODUCE SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS WELL OVER

130dB. USE COMMON SENSE AND PRACTICE SAFE SOUND.

Installation

MOUNTING:

1. After reading precaution, decide where you are going to install the unit. Also, see the picture below.

2. Once the location has been determined, remove the plastic decorative panels from left and right sides
of amplifier then place the amplifier in position. Using a felt tip pen or pencil mark the four holes to be
drilled for mounting. NEVER use the amplifier as a template for drilling. It is very easy to damage the
amplifier surface in manner.

3. Remove the amplifier. Drill four holes into mounting surface.

4. If possible, test the system to ensure it is operating correctly before final mounting of the amplifier.

5. Mount the amplifier using the supplied 4 self-threading screws.

Connections

POWER CONNECTION

• GND: Ground terminal. Connect to the car chassis. Keep the length of the ground cable to the

minimum.

Locate the position on the chassis of the car to which the amplifier is to be grounded. The surface must
be free from any paint or dirt. This can be accomplished with a small grinding bit, sand paper or wire
wheel.
NOTE: The wiring connection should be reliable and ensure direct connection of the amplifier to the car
battery.

• REM: remote control terminal. Connect the remote wire (power antenna output) from the head unit to

the remote turn-on wire of the amplifier. If the head unit is not equipped with a remote/antenna output,
locate a wire that is controlled by the accessory position of the key. It is important to have the amplifier
turn off with the radio or key. If the amplifier remains on, the result will most likely be a dead battery.
The applied voltage should be 10 - 15 V DC.

• B+: Anode of power connection terminal. Connect the proper gauge power wire to the amplifier “B+”

terminal. Run wire towards the fuse holder that is no greater than 0.5 meters from the battery.
Remember, the fuse is to protect the safety of the car in the case of a short. Connect fuse holder to
battery, but do not install fuse at this time.
NOTE: It is important to have good-quality power and ground connections. Remember, to complete an
electrical circuit, the ground connection is just as important as the positive power connection. Before any
power connections are made, disconnect the ground cable at the battery.

Speaker connection

This amplifier can operate in one-, two-, three- or four-channel mode. The minimum impedance for single
channel bridged operation is 4 or 8 ohms, mono operation 2 - 4 Ohm. Tri-channel power is referred to
stereo and mono at the same time. Minimum impedance remains the same for three channel
(front/subwoofer) systems when proper passive crossovers are used. Connect right and left speaker wire to
corresponding speaker output terminals of the amplifier. Be sure to have the positive wire from the speaker
connected to the positive speaker terminal of the amplifier and the negative wire from the speaker must
connect with the negative terminal of the amplifier. Reversing any of the connections will result in the
speaker cones moving out of phase which causes bass cancellation.
