Connect the Amplifier to the Battery
Heavy gauge wire is preferred. Add a fuse or circuit breaker to any power wire that runs through firewall or sheet metal to protect the battery, the vehicle, and more importantly, you. It is highly recommended that installation is carried out by an authorized Coustic dealer.
Connect the Amplifier Remote Control
Connect the remote input terminal of the amplifier to the remote output terminal of the source unit to establish amplifier remote on/off through the power on/off of the source unit. If the source unit does not provide a remote output, connect to its power antenna lead or other switched
Connect the Amplifier Ground to Vehicle Chassis
Find a good ground spot in the vehicle and connect the ground terminal of the amplifier to this point via a large gauge ground cable.
Reconnect the Battery Ground to the Vehicle Chassis
Double check all the previous installation steps, in particular, the wiring and component connec- tion. If everything is in order, complete the installation by reconnecting the battery ground to the vehicle chassis.
Optional RS Remote Subwoofer Level Control
If the optional remote subwoofer level control (model RS) is used, connect the plug of the RS to the port on the end panel of the amplifier.
