Audiovox PAB-1500D manual Speaker Connections, Input Connections, Wiring Instructions

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

to an "Accessory" or "Radio" terminal in the car's fuse block. This will turn the amplifier on and off with the ignition key, regardless of whether the car stereo is on or off. The remote turn-on lead does not carry large currents, so #20 gauge wire may be used for this application.

4.Speaker Connections

Only 4 Ohm or 2 Ohm impedance speaker(s) can be used with the amplifier. Wire it to the speaker terminals as per the appropriate wiring diagram. For most applications, #18 gauge wire should be used for the speaker leads but in no case thinner than #20 gauge. For leads in excess of 10 feet, #16 gauge is recommended. When wiring the speaker, pay careful attention to the polarity of the terminals on the speaker and make certain they correspond to the polarity of the corresponding terminals on the amplifier. DO NOT ground either of the speaker leads to the chassis of the vehicle.

5.Input Connections

This amplifier features low-level input and output capability, plus remote sub-woofer level control. The low-level output capability can be used if an additional amplifier is installed. When low-level outputs are provided from the car stereo, this amplifier can be included in the audio system as shown in the associated wiring diagram. The amplifier low-level inputs provide the lowest distortion and best performance. Use good quality shielded audio cables with RCA plugs at

both ends to connect the stereo to the amplifier and keep the cable lengths to a minimum to avoid noise.

If the car stereo does not provide low-level outputs, the amplifier cannot be used, since high level speaker inputs are not provided.

6. Remote Sub-Woofer Level Control Connection

Remote sub-woofer level control is provided by a PAB-RC control unit, which can be connected to the amplifier using a REMOTE CONTROL telephone cable (supplied) with RJ-11 connectors at each end. Refer to the amplifier wiring diagram for details.
