REPLACING THE FUSES
If the amplifier shuts down, you might need to replace the power wire’s 50-amp
tube-type fuse, either of the two 25-amp blade-type fuses on the back panel, or
all three fuses.
Cautions:
• Do not use a fuse with ratings other than those specified here. Doing so
might damage your amplifier.
• After replacing a fuse, let the amplifier cool down before you turn it on
again.
Turn off your autosound system, then disconnect the cable from your vehicle bat-
tery’s negative (
-
) terminal.
Replacing the Tube-Type Fuse
1. Grasp the two ends of the power
wire’s fuse holder and twist one of
them counterclockwise, then pull the
ends apart.
2. Insert a new 50-amp, tube-type fuse
into the longer of the fuse-holder’s
ends, then grasp the fuse-holder’s two
ends, push them in and twist them
clockwise.
Replacing a Blade-Type Fuse
1. Grasp the fuse’s plastic end and pull it
out.
2. Grasp the new fuse’s plastic end and
simply push it in.
