WARNING!
INSTALL THE FUSE AT THE BATTERY LAST!
Use conventional stranded copper wire for all connections. Finish the ends of the wires at
the amp and vehicle connection with the proper size terminals. Poorly made connections,
and /or inadequate wire size will generate excessive heat and may lead to equipment failure.
The 12 VOLT + connection should be made directly at the positive battery post, using the
wire size recommended below, and fused within "18"of the battery. This fuse is vital, and
is primarily intended to protect the vehicle from damage in case of a dead short. The fuse
value at the battery should be at least the total fuse value of all of the amplifiers being used.
The GROUND connection should be made directly to the chassis of the vehicle, as close
to the amp as possible. Make this connection with the same wire size as used for the 12 Volt+
connection. Ensure that all dirt, grease, paint, and coatings are removed from around the
connection to the vehicle chassis. Use of a nut, bolt, and toothed type washer is recommended
for attaching the ground wire to the chassis.
The REMOTE TURN ON terminal should be connected to the source units' remote turn on
lead or power antenna output wire. When using the power antenna wire, make certain that this
wire does not lose power when any source other than the radio is selected.
