High Level Input Connection
If the car stereo does not provide low-level outputs, the amplifier may be connected via the speaker (high-level) outputs from the stereo.
Wire the speaker leads from the car stereo to the 5-pin adaptor harness as shown in the diagram (shielded cable is not required for
this application) and plug the connector into the mating High-Level Input socket on the amplifier. Carefully splice and insulate all wire
connections.
5
Fuse
The circuitry of the amplifier is protected from damage by an automotive-type fast-blow fuse. If fuse replacement is necessary,
use only fuses of the same ampere rating as originally supplied with the unit. The use of fuses with incorrect ratings may cause
serious damage to the amplifier. If fuses blow consistently, carefully check all electrical connections to the unit.
6
Power Connection
The battery terminal (BATT) must be connected directly to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery to provide an adequate voltage
source and minimize noise. Connecting the battery terminal lead to any other point (such as the fuse block) will reduce the power
output and may cause noise and distortion. Use only #16 gauge or thicker (smaller gauge #) wire for this lead and connect it to the
terminal of the battery after all other wiring is completed.
7
Ground Connection
The ground terminal (GND) connection is also critical to the correct operation of the amplifier. Use a wire of the same gauge as the power
connection (#16 or thicker) and connect it between the ground terminal (GND) of the amplifier and a metal part of the vehicle close to the
mounting location. This wire should be as short as possible and any paint or rust at the grounding point should be scraped away to provide
a clean metal surface to which the end of the ground wire can be screwed or bolted.
8
Remote Turn-On Connection
The amplifier is turned on by applying +12 volts to the remote turn-on terminal (REM). The wire lead to this terminal should be connected to
the "Auto-Antenna" lead from the car stereo which will provide the +12 volts only when the car stereo is turned on. If the car stereo does not
