3. Determine and connect your source unit output to the amplifier input cable(s) using
one of the following high or low level input methods:
3.1. High Level (Speaker) Input Wires: Use if no RCA connectors are available.
Connect the front speaker output wires from the source unit to the High Level input
cable (use attached terminals to connect input wires to the speaker wire terminals if
possible).
For custom wiring connections, we recommend crimp, solder, and heat shrink.
3.2. Low Level (RCA) Input Cables: Preferred if RCA connectors are available.
Connect the front RCA output connectors from the source unit to the Low Level input
cable and input jack on the front of the amplifier.
Very little dielectric grease is needed to keep your connections corrosion free.
Very little moisture is needed to corrode contacts not covered with dielectric grease.
4. Plug the chosen input cable into the corresponding connector of the main amplifier
labeled high or low accordingly.
WIRING THE AMPLIFIER
1. Route and connect the power wire (without the in-line fuse installed) from the posi-
tive (+) battery terminal to the main amplifier terminal labeled PWR.
Do not install the in-line fuse until instructed to do so.
2. Route and connect the ground wire from chassis ground to the amplifier terminal
labeled GND.
The majority of problem installs are the result of a poor ground. Refer to section
‘Ensure proper power and ground connections’ in the Important Information’
section for more information.
High Level (Speaker) Input Wires
2 Channel - use Front only
4 Channel - use both
Front Left + White
Front Left - White with Black strip
Front Right + Grey
Front Right - Grey with Black strip
These wire colors correspond
to an Aquatic AV Source Unit
harness. If using a High-Level
source other than from Aquatic
AV, these colors could vary.
