1This connector is for INPUTS ONLY! These wires need to be connected directly to the output of the radio.

2This connector is for OUTPUTS only! NEVER connect any wires from this plug to ground, as serious damage to amplifier could occur

3You have two options for this connection. See “Remote Turn on Options” on page 13.

POWER WIRE

The 12 gauge red wire on the 2-pin connector is the 12 Volt positive power wire. It must be fused and connected directly to the positive terminal of the battery to provide a power source with a low voltage drop and low noise. Do not make the power connection at the fuse block or any point other than the battery. Improper power sources can reduce output and cause distortion.

The fuse holder should be connected to the battery's positive terminal. The fuse is designed to prevent fire or damage to your car, should the battery wire short to ground. Wait to insert the fuse into its holder until all wire connections have been made. If it is necessary to lengthen the battery wire, add the required length between the amplifier and the fuse holder, not the fuse holder and the battery. Use 16 gauge or larger to extend the battery wire. It is best to use as short a wire as possible.

Avoid running the power wire near the radio's antenna or power leads, or near sensitive equipment or harnesses. The power wire carries substantial currents and could induce noise.

CAUTION

DO NOT substitute the 15-amp fuse included with the CS8A5 with anything other than the same fast blow current rated fuse. Substitution or deletion will void the product's warranty and may cause damage to your car or the CS8A5’s internal amplifier.

GROUND WIRE

The 12 gauge black wire on the 2-pin connector is the negative ground wire. It must be connected directly to the vehicle chassis near the amplifier. We do not recommend extending the ground wire in any installation, as this can cause unwanted ground loops.

The ground point in the car should be a piece of chassis metal that is part of or welded to the main body of the vehicle. Painted surfaces should be scraped or sanded clean to expose the bare metal before the ground lug is bolted down. (Cover the bare metal area with paint or grease after you finish mounting the ground wire to prevent rust.)
