Wiring
Signal can be input into the amplifier using either the low level RCA input connections or the high level (speaker level) input connections. Using the low level RCA connections is the preferred method. Use the high level inputs only if your source unit does not have low level RCA type outputs.
Never Both At The Same Time!!!

The use of twisted pair interconnects is recommended for all installations to minimize noise. When routing these cables through the automobile, try to keep them away from factory wiring harnesses and other power wiring. If you need to cross any of this wiring do so at a 90 degree angle to reduce the potential of alternator noise and electrical interference.
When working with power connections it is always recommended that you disconnect the battery to prevent accidents.
The ground should be connected to the amplifier first before making any of the other connections. This wire should be as short as possible (24 inches or less) and connected to a paint- and
If you ever need to remove the amplifier from the vehicle after it has been installed, the ground wire should be the last wire disconnected from the
A fuse must be installed within 18 inches of the battery to protect the power wire feeding your amplifier. This fuse should be of at least the same value used in the amplifier but no higher than the capacity of the wire. See the chart below for wire size and fusing recommendations.
