REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

1. Fuses—These fuses protect the amplifier against

internal electrical damage and are meant to protect
the amplifier only. All other power connections should
be fused at the source. The PA200.4 uses 1-30A fuse,
the PA500.4 uses 2-40A fuses and the PA100.5 uses
3-40A fuses.

2. (+) 12 Volt Power—Connect this terminal through

a FUSE or CIRCUIT BREAKER to the positive terminal
of the vehicle battery or the positive terminal of an
isolated audio system battery.

WARNING: Always protect this power wire by install-
ing a fuse or circuit breaker of the appropriate size
within 12 inches of the battery terminal connection.

3. Remote Turn On—This terminal turns on the amplifier

when (+) 12 volt is applied to it. Connect it to the remote
turn on lead of the head unit or signal source.

4. Ground—Connect this terminal directly to the sheet

metal chassis of the vehicle, using the shortest wire
necessary to make this connection. Always use wire
of the same gauge or larger than the (+) 12 volt power
wire. The chassis connection point should be scraped
free of paint and dirt. Use only quality crimped and/or
soldered connectors at both ends of this wire. DO NOT
connect this terminal directly to the vehicle battery
ground terminal or any other factory ground points.

5. Speaker Terminals—Connect subwoofers to these

terminals. (Refer to the Speaker Wiring Diagrams
section of this guide.)
