Follow these steps to connect the amplifier to ground, switched power, and primary power.

1.If you have not done so already, discon- nect the cable from your vehicle’s nega- tive (–) battery terminal.

2.Use a screwdriver to connect the spade end of the supplied black ground wire to the amplifier’s GND (ground) terminal.

3.Connect the black ground wire’s other end to a chassis ground, such as a metal bolt attached to a metal part of the vehicle’s frame. Be sure the bolt is not insulated from the chassis by a plastic part.

4.Use a screwdriver to connect the spade end of the supplied blue/white wire to the amplifier’s REM (remote power) ter- minal.

5.If your auto sound system has a switched power lead, connect the blue/ white wire’s other end to your auto sound system’s switched power lead

using one of the supplied twist-on termi- nal connectors.

This connection turns on the amplifier when you turn on the auto sound sys- tem, and turns off the amplifier when you turn off the auto sound system. This prevents your vehicle’s battery from being drained if you leave your amplifier on when you turn off your auto sound system.

If your auto sound system does not have a switched power lead, connect the blue/white wire’s other end to a point in your vehicle’s fuse block that has power only when you turn on the ignition or turn the key to ACC.

This connection turns on the amplifier when you turn on the ignition or turn the key to ACC, and turns off the amplifier when you turn off the ignition. This pre- vents your vehicle’s battery from being drained if you leave your amplifier on when you turn off the ignition.
