Do not run wiring underneath or outside the car since exposure to the elements may cause the
insulation to deteriorate rapidly, resulting in short-circuits and/or intermittent operation. All cables
should be run beneath carpets and inside trim pieces.
To help minimize interference, it is best to run the power cables along the opposite side from the
audio cables.
Whenever wires pass through metal, rubber or plastic grommets must be used to prevent the mental
from wearing through the installation and causing a short.
Whenever possible, use cable ties, mounting clamps and similar wiring aids (available from an
electrical supply or auto parts store) Adding stress relief loops to wiring is also advisable to prevent
straining or breakage.
It is best to test the system before the amplifier is mounted and interior of car is reassembled.
If the temperature inside your car reaches extreme levels (such as sitting locked up for several hours
in the hot sun or exposed to a very cold winter's day) the amplifier may go into protection mode and
shut off. Leave the unit off until the ambient temperature returns to normal.
The amplifier operates with any vehicle using a 12-volt negative ground system. If you are not sure
of the type of electrical system in your vehicle, consult your authorized dealer or qualified mechanic.
NEVER ground the speaker leads and NEVER allow the speaker leads to come in contact with each
other. Speaker wire should be 18 gauge or larger.
Remote turn on wire must be switched by the radio does not have a remote turn on or antenna
