Power Endplate Controls
1. Power On / Protect indicator: Glows green when amplifier is on. Turns
red when amp is in protection.
2. Turn On Delay: Since some decks take longer than others to turn on,
we have included an adjustment on the C2K amps to lengthen their
turn-on delay. This will eliminate any dangerous turn-on pops.
3. RSD Port: All C2K amps will support a remote mount status display to
provide a visual check on amp functions.
4. Power connectors: See chart below for appropriate wire size. Use of
small gauge wire will greatly restrict amplifier performance. Always use
the same size wire for both Power (+12V) and Ground (-12V).
5. Main Power Fuses: Fuse sizes are listed on the I.D. plate above the
fuses. If the fuses should blow, always, replace with the fuse rating
on the I.D. plate.
• 2.5X: 15 amp fuses
• 4.0X: 25 amp fuses
12V Hookup
The use of small gauge wire will greatly reduce the power potential of
your C2K Amplifier. Please observe the following minimum wire gauges.
Since electricity works only when it travels in a full circle, please
remember that the ground connection must use the same size wire as the
power connection.
Amplifier Run less than 10 ft Run over 10 ft
2.5x 10 Gauge 8 Gauge
4.0X 8 Gauge 4 Gauge
When using multiple amps, use a 4 gauge Minimum to run to a
junction block, close to the amps. If possible, run 2 or 0 gauge to the
junction block, as any current loss will result in a loss of power.
