+12v - A high current line run direct from the batter is highly recommended to insure adequate current and voltage. This line MUST be run through a dedicated fuse of some kind and this fuse should be located immediately next to the power source. This

Ground Terminal
Connect to a good chassis ground. The ground connection should be clean, unpainted metal to provide a good electrical connection.
TRIGGER - This line tells the amp to turn on and is remotely switched from the radio which normally provides an amp “trigger” output. This line is required to go “high” (+12V) to turn on the amp. If this line is not available, use the power antenna line trigger which is normally available in most radios.
GROUND - This is the high current ground connection to the chassis of the car. It should be fastened to a clean ground connection in the vehicle, capable of handling high current loads. This wire should be no

BLUE DOT LIGHT INDICATOR ON THE TOP OF THE AMPLIFIER (not shown above)
POWER ON - This light will turn on when the amplifier receives a +12V
PROTECTION LED - This light flashes if the amplifier senses a severe problem, such as a speaker short circuit.
Trigger Terminal
Connect the radio power antenna lead from the receiver to the trigger terminal. This turns the amplifier on whenever the receiver is turned on.
