CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND FUSES

EXTERhlAL

Like all audio components, the RUBICON amplifier must be fused near the battery. A fuse or circuit breaker must be located within 18” of the batters. This will prevent a fire in the event of a shorted cable. See the chart below to determine the correct fuse value.

INTERNAL

The RUBICON amplifier is fused with two automotive-type fuses and the RUBJCON805 is fused with a single Maxi-Fuse. In the event of blown power sup- ply fuses, replace with the correct value fuse found in the chart below. Never

replace the fuse with a higher value than what is supplied. This may result in amplifier damage and will void the warranty!

REMOTE TURN-ON

Connect the “Remote” line to the turn-on lead from thesource unit. When +I2 Volts is received, the amplifier will turn on.

SIGNAL CABLE

Use a high quality cable that will be easy to install and has minimal signal loss to guarantee optimum performance.

SPEAKER CABLE

The RUBICON amplifiers will accept up to 8 gauge speaker cable. Use a high quality, flexible, multi-strand cable for best performance and longevity.
