INSTALLATION STEP 1
WIRING
POWER AND GROUND
To ensure maximum output from your
amplifier, use high quality,
loss power and ground cables and connections. The
amplifiers will
accept up to 4 gauge power and ground cables. Determine from the chart below
the minimum gauge power and ground wire for your application.

up to 20’

4 gauge only
CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND FUSES
EXTERNAL
Like all audio components, the
amplifiers must be fused near the
A fuse or circuit breaker must be located within 18” of the batterv. This will
prevent a fire in the event of a shorted cable. See the chart below to determine the
correct fuse value.
INTERNAL
The
amplifiers are fused with an automotive-type or Maxi-fuse. In the
event of a blown power supply fuse(s), replace with the correct value fuse found in
the chart below. Never replace the fuse with a higher value than what is sup-
plied. This may result in amplifier damage and will void the warranty!
