AMPLIFIER WIRING

Power Connections

8002 Fuse Size: 1 x 80 AMP MAXI

Power connections accept up to four-gauge wire.

Four-gauge power and ground wire recommended for optimal performance.

Connect 12V+ to the battery through fuse holder. This connection provides +12V main power to the amplifier.

Power wire must be fused no more than 18" from battery.

Ground amplifier to a good chassis ground as close as possible to the amplifier.

Connect REM terminal to remote turn-on lead from source unit. This connection provides +12V power to turn-on the amplifier.

Add Extra Ground wire between the negative terminal of the battery and the chassis.

NOTE: The addition of a ground wire from the battery to the chassis of the vehicle improves the ability of the battery to supply power to the amplifier. This helps especially in newer vehicles, where the current delivery of the factory electrical system was designed only to accommodate electronics supplied by the auto man- ufacturer.
