kit (not included with this amplifier). The information below should be  used a 
general guideline only.
Power Wire (BAT+)
•Disconnectnegativebatteryterminalbeforeproceeding.Consultaqualified
technician for instructions if you are unsure.
•Planwireroutingbeforecuttinganywirestolength.Beginby routingthepower
BAT+wirefromthebatterytotheamplifierlocation.Usea grommetwhen
