Connect the amplifier to the car's battery.

At times, the amplifier will need to draw large levels of current that cannot be provided by
any circuit in the car's fuse box. We recommended using an 4 to 8 gauge power wire for
your connections depending on the amplifier and length of the wire. Strip one end of the
wire to crimp on a barrier spade. Loosen the +12V screw terminal and insert the power
wire with the barrier spade and tighten. Use caution to make sure no stray wire stands
come in contact with surrounding terminals causing short circuits. Run the wire directly
to the positive terminal of the car's battery. Make sure to use an in-line fuse within 12” of
the car's battery to protect the electrical system and amplifier against short circuits
and/or power surges.

Connect the ground terminal of the amplifier to the car's chassis.

For the ground connection, use an 4 to 8 gauge wire (black) to connect to the terminal
marked GND and then connect it to the car's chassis. Try to keep the length of the cable as
short as possible, preferably less than 6". Also make sure that the point on the car where
the connection is to be made is free of paint and dirt.

Connect the remote terminal of the amplifier to a switchable +12V source

.

This connection allows the amplifier to be turned on and off with the power control of the
radio. If the radio has a REMOTE output terminal, connect it to the amplifier's terminal
marked REMOTE (using a 16 gauge wire or heavier). Now when the radio is turned on, the
amplifier will automatically turn on. This connection can also be made to the radio’s Power
Antenna wire.

IMPORTANT!

Before making any connections, disconnect the car’s battery until the

installation is completed to avoid possible damage to the electrical system.
