3.Mount the fuseholder within 18" of the battery using two (2) #8 screws. Disassemble the fuseholder. You should have 2 black plastic end caps, 2 gold-plated fuse clips, a plastic spacer and the fuseholder body. Trim the amplifier power cable to reach the fuseholder and strip the wire 3/8". Slide one of the end caps over the wire (narrow end first) and insert the wire into one of the fuse clips. Tighten the set screw. Screw the black end cap to the fuseholder body to secure the cable. Use the section of cable that was trimmed earlier and connect it to the other end of the fuseholder. Install the plastic spacer in the fuseholder and attach the cable to the fuseholder body.

NOTE: The B+ cable MUST be fused 18" or less from the vehicle's battery. Install the fuseholder under the hood and prepare the cable ends as stated above. Connections should be water tight.

4.Strip 3/8" from the battery end of the power cable and crimp the large ring terminal to the cable. Use the ring terminal to connect to the battery positive terminal. Do not install the fuse at this time.

5.Prepare a length of cable to be used for the ground connection. Strip 5/8" of insulation from the end of the cable as described previously and connect to the appropriate terminal of the amplifier. Prepare the chassis ground by scraping any paint from the metal surface and thoroughly clean the area of all dirt and grease. Strip the other end of the wire and attach a ring connector. Fasten the cable to the chassis using a screw.

6.Prepare the REM turn-on wire for connection to the amplifier by stripping 5/8" of insulation from the wire end and crimping an insulated spade connector in place. Slide the connector over the REM terminal on the amplifier. Connect the other end of the REM wire to a switched 12 volt positive source. The switched signal is usually taken from the source unit's auto antenna or the accessory lead. If the source unit does not have these outputs available, the recommended solution is to wire a mechanical switch in line with a 12 volt source to activate the amplifier.

7.Connect the source signal to the amplifier by plugging the RCA cables into the input jacks at the amplifier.
