• NEVER operate the amplifier without proper fusing. Fuse holder must
be located within 2 feet from the battery. This fuse is to protect the
vessel, 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.
• To help minimize interference, it is best to run the power cables
along the side opposite of the audio (RCA) cables.
• Whenever wires pass through metal, rubber or plastic grommets
must be used to prevent the metal from wearing through the
installation and causing a short.
• Whenever possible, use cable ties, mounting clamps and similar
wiring aids. Adding stress relief loop to wiring is also advisable to
prevent straining or breakage.
• The amplifier operates with any vehicle using a 12 volt negative
ground system
• Remote turn on wire must be switched by the radio. If the radio does
not have a remote turn on or antenna output, connect to wire that
has a positive 12 volt output when the key is turned to the accessory
position. If the amplifier does not turn off the battery will die.
• WARNING! Amplifiers may produce sound pressure levels that
exceed the threshold at which hearing loss may result. Practice
safe listening when listening to your audio system. When the
amplifier works in particularly hard conditions it can reach operating
temperatures above 90˚C/194˚F. Be careful to check the case
temperature before touching it. This amplifier is developed for
marine use and has been carefully designed to resist corrosion and
exposure to humidity. Please do not expose this Amplifier to liquid
water at any time. Make sure the amplifier is mounted in a
clean/dry location.
