Bazooka RS8A-hp, RS10A-hp, RS6A-hp installation manual Power Wire, Ground Wire

POWER WIRE

The 12 gauge red wire on the 2-pin power plug is the 12 Volt positive power wire. It must be fused and connected directly to the positive terminal of the battery to pro- vide 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 12 gauge or larger to extend the battery wire. It is best to use as short a wire as possible.

Be sure you DO NOT run the power wire next to the input cables of the amplifier, this will induce noise.

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 Amplified Bazooka 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 amplifier.

GROUND WIRE

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