These chrome plated connectors can accept from 16 to 8 gauge wire. Be careful to observe proper polarity when
connecting the cables
To avoid unwanted ignition noise caused by ground loops, it is essential that the amplifier be grounded to a
clean, bare, metal surface of the vehicles chassis.
Note: GROUND WIRE SHOULD NOT BE EXTENDED MORE THAN 3 FT. (1 METER)
Controls and Functions
To remote or power antenna output of car stereo. This amplifier is turned "ON" remotely when the vehicle's stereo
is turned "ON".
Note: IF YOUR RADIO DOES NOT HAVE +12 VOLT OUTPUT LEAD WHEN THE RADIO IS TURNED ON, THE
"REMOTE" TERMINAL ON THE AMPLIFIER CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE'S ACCESSORY
CIRCUIT THAT IS LIVE WHEN THE KEY (IGNITION) IS "ON".
Due to the power requirements of the amplifier, this connection should be made directly to the positive (+)
terminal of the battery. For a safety measure, install an in-line fuse holder (not included) as close to the battery
positive (+) as possible with an apmere rating not to exceed the total value of fuses in the amp.
MIN MAX
This control adjusts the amplifier's sensitivity to match the signal strength coming from the source unit. Input
sensitivity is variable from 200 Millivolts to 8 volts. Clockwise increases sensitivity. Counterclockwise decreases
sensitivity. THE KNOB IS NOT A VOLUME CONTROL. A lower signal level will require increased sensitivity for
full power. A higher signal will require decreased sensitivity.

-PWR (Power) : This BLUE LED will illuminate when the amplifier is turned "ON". If it fails to illuminate, check the power
connections to the amplifier and fuses.
- PROT (Protection) : The amplifier protection circuitry will disable the amplifier if input overload, short circuit, or extremely
high temperature conditions are detected. When the protection mode is in operation, the LED indicator on the side
panel will be illuminated, indicating the amplifier has gone into a self-preservation mode.
If you observe that the protection LED is lit, please check the system carefully to determine what has caused the
protection circuit to engage. The amplifier shut down due to a thermal overload condition, please allow it to cool
down before restarting. If the amplifier shut down because of an input overload or short circuit, be sure to repair these
conditions before attempting to power up the amplifier again.

Planning and Mounting Your System
NOTE:
DISTORTION LEVEL IS CONSIDERABLY LOWER FROM PRE-AMP (LOW LEVEL)
OUTPUTS, THAN SPEAKER (HIGH LEVEL) OUTPUTS.
b. Are your components matched? The RMS power rating of your speakers must be
equal or greater than the Amplifier's. They also must be 1-8 Ohms impedance
(this information is normally printed on the speaker magnet).
c. Consider both the length of your leads, and routing when determining the mounting
location. Pre-Amp input Jacks require a length of high quality shielded male to male
RCA patch cord.
a. Select a suitable location that is convenient for mounting, accessible for wiring and
has ample room for air circulation and cooling.
b. Use the amplifier as a template to mark the mounting holes. Remove the amplifier
and drill holes. Use extreme caution. Inspect underneath the surfaces before drilling!
c. Secure the Amplifier using the screws provided.
CAUTION: Before connecting any wires to the amplifier, disconnect the ground lead from
the battery. Leave the ground lead disconnected until you are done wiring the
amplifier.

Adjusting and Tunning
Note: Your amplifier temporarily shuts down if it gets too hot, then restarts automatically
once it cools.
For the best performance, you must set GAIN (8V/0.2V) on the side of the amplifier to
adjust match the level of the audio signals that enter the amplifier from the source unit.

Warning / Disclaimer
WARNING
����������������������������������������������������
Investigate the layout of your automobile thoroughly before drilling or cutting any holes.
Take care when you work near gas tanks, gas lines, hydraulic lines, and electrical wiring.
Do not use the power amplifier unmounted. Attach the system securely to the automobile
to prevent damage, particularly in the event of an accident. Do not mount the system
so that the wire connections are unprotected or are subject to pinching or damage
from nearby objects.
The +12V DC power wire must be fused at the battery positive terminal connection.
Before making or breaking power connections at the system power terminals,
disconnect the +12V wire at the battery end. Confirm your radio/head unit and/or other
equiptment is turned off while connecting the input jacks and speaker terminals.
If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only with a fuse identical to that
supplied with the system. Using a fuse of a different type or rating may result in damage to
this system which is not covered by the warranty.
