Connecting the Unit

Connecting the Speaker Output Terminals

Use a 10 AWG to 16 AWG wire for the speaker wire.

1.Expose the end of the speaker wires using nippers or a cutter by about 10 mm (3/8 inch) to 12 mm (1/2 inch).

10 mm (3/8 inch) to 12 mm (1/2 nch)

2.Connect the speaker wires to the speaker output terminals.

Fix the speaker wires securely with the termi- nal screws.

As a result of connecting the car stereo speaker output wire to the amplifier, the power of the amplifier is turned on automatically when the car stereo is turned on. It is not necessary to connect the system remote control wire in this case.

In the case the amplifier and head unit are con- nected using a speaker input wire with RCA pin cord, the amplifier power is only turned on when one amplifier is being used. If two or more ampli- fiers are synchronously connected in combina- tion, connect the head unit and all of the ampli- fiers with the system remote control wire.

Note:

Connect the system remote control wire when the power of the amplifier is not to be turned on when the car stereo is turned on.
