Power and Outputs

Power terminal ( +12V)

Connect the fuse holder as close to the vehicle battery + as possible, using AWG5 = 16 mm2 or heavier cable. Use ring crimp terminal cable to connect to battery +. Apply silicon grease to the fuse to prevent corrosion.

Use a fuse holder for AGU fuses like the DLS FH1B. Fuse value 60 A if you use a AWG5 cable.

DLS

DLS FH 1B fuse holder

Connect the battery cable to the +12 Volt on the amplifier. If you want to improve the power capacity you can add a Power capacitor of 1 Farad in parallel with the DC input.

Be sure to use a rubber grommet or a plastic insulating tube where the cable passes the firewall or other places where it can easily be jammed.

Use wire ties to secure to existing cables in the engine room.

Max. fuse value for different cable sizes:

6 mm2 (9 AWG) :25 A

10 mm2 (7AWG) :40 A

16 mm2 (5AWG) :60 A

21 mm2 (4AWG) :100 A

33 mm2 (2AWG) :150 A

42 mm2 (1AWG) :200

Ground Terminal ( GND )

Connect to a good chassis ground. The ground connection should be clean, unpainted metal to prov- ide a good electrical connection. Use a wire brush, a scraper or a piece of an abrasive sheet to clean the metal. Use a lock washer or two to secure contact. Protect with silicon grease or by paint applied afterwards.

+12V REM GND

For RCA cable signal input:

Connect the radio power antenna lead = remote turn on/off from the car stereo to the amplifier remote connection. This turns on the amplifier whenever the car stereo is turned on.

You can either use the built in remote cable in the RCA cable itself or use a separate cable. Sometimes a small disturbance may enter the amplifier coming from the remote voltage , through the built in remote wire and into the RCA cable. Thus we recommend to use a separate remote wire and run the RCA lead separate from remote wire, power cables and speaker cables.

You can either use a crimp fork terminal or insert the cable directly into the amplifier terminal. If there is no remote voltage available from the stereo, you must connect to the ignition key through the radio or any accessories fuse.

For High Level input:

We recommend you to connect the remote wire as described above.

The amplifier will be turned on/ turned off by the high level input voltage. This is done when the Hi level/Low level switch is set to Hi level position. There is a small disadvantage that this function gives soft turn on operation but some plop sound when switching off.

You do not have to connect any remote voltage when using Hi level input.
