Amplifier Wiring
Power Connections
•PA D2000.2 Fuse Size: 2 x 25 AMP ATC.
•Power connections accept up to 4 AWG wire.
•4 AWG 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 within 12" of the battery.
•Ground the amplifier using a good chassis ground as close as possible to the amplifier.
•Connect REM terminal to remote
•Add extra ground wire between the negative terminal of the battery and the chassis.
The amplifier is capable of bridging a left and right terminal into a single full range channel with higher output power.. For instance, the
Internal Bridging
Terminals that can be used in bridging mode are identified by the black boxes next to each terminal.. In the PA D2000..2, the two black boxes work together to create an internally bridged hookup..
Amplifier Installation
Mounting Locations
The location of your amplifier will depend on several important issues.. Due to the low profile and compact
size of the Polk Audio PA D Series amplifier, there are many possible installation locations that will yield satisfactory amplifier performance.. Always mount the amplifier in a place that protects the amplifier from the elements..
In addition, mount the amplifier on a stable, flat surface..
NOTE: Mounting amplifiers upside down is not recommended and may cause premature thermal shutdown..
WARNING! Do not mount any amplifier in the engine compartment.. Amplifiers are not designed to endure the harsh environment of an engine compartment..
Passenger Compartment
If you are going to mount the amplifier in the passenger compartment, make sure you have adequate room for ventilation. When mounting your amplifier under a seat or similar area, keep a minimum of 1" of clearance around the amplifier for adequate cooling..
Trunk Compartment
Mounting your amplifier in the trunk provides excellent performance as long as you do not restrict the airflow around the heatsink of the amplifier.. For optimal results, mount the amplifier with as much clearance as possible.. This type of mounting will yield the best cooling due to the convection effect of the amplifier chassis..
