Note: After you complete the connections and reconnect the battery wire,
you will need to reset all clock/timer/memory devices in your vehicle.
2. Connect the supplied dark blue/white wire’s end to the amplifier’s REM
(remote power) terminal.
3. Securely connect the supplied dark blue/white wire’s male quick disconnect
plug to your autosound system’s switched power lead.
This connection turns your amplifier on or off when you turn your autosound
system on or off.
Note: If your autosound system does not have a remote power output lead,
connect this wire to a point in your vehicle’s ignition switch that provides 12-
volt battery power when the ignition is set to ON or ACC. This connection
turns on the amplifier when you turn your ignition switch to on (or to ACC)
and turns off the amplifier when you turn off the ignition.
4. Connect the black wire’s spade connector to the amplifier’s GND terminal.
5. Securely connect the black wire’s eyelet-terminal to a nearby metal ground,
such as a bolt attached to a part of the vehicle’s chassis.
Note: Be sure the bolt is not insulated from the chassis by a plastic part or
other insulating material.
6. Connect the red wire’s spade connector to the amplifier’s +12V terminal.
7. Remove the nut from the battery’s positive (
+
) terminal bolt, then place the
red wire’s 10A fused eyelet terminal over the end of the bolt.
Caution: Due to the amplifier’s high current requirement, you MUST con-
nect the red wire’s fused end directly to the vehicle’s positive (
+
) battery
cable terminal or damage to your vehicle’s wiring could result.
Note: Do not reconnect your vehicle battery’s negative (
-
) cable yet.
