Cautions:
•For added safety and to protect your amplifier and auto sound system, dis- connect the cable from your vehicle’s negative (– ) battery terminal before you begin.
•Be sure your speakers can handle as much as 400 watts of power (200 watts per channel if you connect your auto sound system to one pair of speakers and bridge the amplifier’s outputs, or
100 watts per channel if you connect your auto sound system to two pairs of speakers or one pair of speakers and a subwoofer). Each speaker must have an impedance of at least 4 ohms. Your local RadioShack store carries a full line of speakers.
To make it easier to gauge wire length and connect the amplifier, temporarily place the amplifier as close as possible to the selected mounting location.

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
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
