Read the following wiring instructions very carefully. If you have any trouble understanding any of these instructions, have the amplifier professionally installed by an experienced technician. Incorrect wiring will prevent the amplifier from operating, or will damage the amplifier.
Recommended Method For Splicing Wires
#1 | #2 | #3 |
Strip 1/2" of insulation from the ends of the wires..
Twist together and bend as shown. | Wrap with electrical tape. |
1.Power Terminal
1.DISCONNECT THE VEHICLE’S NEGATIVE
2.Strip ½" of insulation from the end of the 8 gauge power wire. Connect the 8 gauge power wire to the
After Market Positive Terminal (+) | |
To Amplifier Power Terminal |
|
Vehicle's Positive (+) | |
12 Volt power cable | |
(not included) |
|
3.Install a 35 amp fuse or 35 amp circuit breaker in the 8 gauge power wire as close to the battery as practical.
4.Then route the 8 gauge power wire from the 30 amp fuse or circuit breaker to the rear of the amplifier.
5.Strip 1/2" width of insulation from the end of the 8 gauge power wire.
6.Attach a spade lug on the end of 8 Gauge wire.
7.Loosen screw to open POWER connector plates on rear of amplifier.
8.Insert the spade lug between between the connector plates. Turn screw until power cable is tight.
2.Remote Terminal
The REMOTE wire connection automatically turns on your amplifier when your stereo is turned on.
On most stereos, this wire is marked as the REMOTE, ACCESSORY, or POWER ANTENNA.
1.Locate the REMOTE, ACCESSORY, or POWER ANTENNA on the stereo. (Refer to your stereo owner's manual.)
2.Splice REMOTE, ACCESSORY or POWER ANTENNA wire from rear of the stereo to a length of wire that will reach the rear of the amplifier
3.Loosen screw and open REMOTE connector plates on rear of amplifier.
4.Insert wire end between the REMOTE connector plates.
5.Tighten screw closing REMOTE connector plates on wire.
3.Ground Terminal
1. The ground connection cable should be attached to clean, unpainted chassis metal for a good electrical connection.
2.Find good,
3.Drill a pilot hole with a 1/16" drill bit.
4.Use sandpaper to expose an area of bare metal around the pilot hole about the size of a dime.
5.Tightly fasten the provided ground cable with the self tapping sheet metal screw to the chassis metal. A loose ground will cause distortion and popping noises in the speakers.
You may purchase shielded RCA cables that have a remote wire that is built right into the cable. This type of cable makes it possible to route both RCA cable and remote wire at the same time.
Recommended Method For Attaching Wires to Terminals
1. POWER WIRE
When connecting the power wire, place the spade terminal under the contact plate and the forks around the screw. Then tighten the screw.
2. REMOTE WIRETo connect the remote wire, place the twisted end under the contact plate and tighten screw.
| 3. GROUND WIRE |
|
| |
To connect the supplied ground wire, |
|
| |
remove the screw and contact from the |
|
| |
ground terminal on the rear of the amplifier. |
|
| |
Put the screw through the contact plate, |
| 3. GROUND WIRE | |
then through the ground wire, and finally | 1. POWER WIRE | 2. REMOTE WIRE | |
tighten the screw. | |||
