REPLACING THE FUSES

If the amplifier shuts down, you might need to replace the power wire’s 50-amp tube-type fuse, either of the two 25-amp blade-type fuses on the back panel, or all three fuses.

Cautions:

•Do not use a fuse with ratings other than those specified here. Doing so might damage your amplifier.

•After replacing a fuse, let the amplifier cool down before you turn it on again.

Turn off your autosound system, then disconnect the cable from your vehicle bat- tery’s negative (-) terminal.

Replacing the Tube-Type Fuse

1.Grasp the two ends of the power wire’s fuse holder and twist one of them counterclockwise, then pull the ends apart.

2.Insert a new 50-amp, tube-type fuse into the longer of the fuse-holder’s ends, then grasp the fuse-holder’s two ends, push them in and twist them clockwise.

Replacing a Blade-Type Fuse
