to an "Accessory" or "Radio" terminal in the car's fuse block. This will turn the amplifier on and off with the ignition key,
regardless of whether the car stereo is on or off. The remote turn-on lead does not carry large currents, so

Only 4 Ohm or 2 Ohm impedance speaker(s) can be used with the amplifier. Wire it to the speaker terminals as per
the appropriate wiring diagram. For most applications,
#18#18
#18#18
#18 gauge wire should be used for the speaker leads but in no
case thinner than

#20 gauge. For leads in excess of 10 feet,
#16#16
#16#16
#16 gauge is recommended. When wiring the speaker,
pay careful attention to the polarity of the terminals on the speaker and make certain they correspond to the polarity
of the corresponding terminals on the amplifier.

This amplifier features low-level input and output capability, plus remote sub-woofer level control. The low-level output
capability can be used if an additional amplifier is installed. When low-level outputs are provided from the car stereo,
this amplifier can be included in the audio system as shown in the associated wiring diagram. The amplifier low-level
inputs provide the lowest distortion and best performance. Use good quality shielded audio cables with RCA plugs at
both ends to connect the stereo to the amplifier and keep the cable lengths to a minimum to avoid noise.
If the car stereo does not provide low-level outputs, the amplifier cannot be used, since high level speaker inputs are
not provided.

Remote sub-woofer level control is provided by a PAB-RC control unit, which can be connected to the amplifier using
a REMOTE CONTROL telephone cable (supplied) with RJ-11 connectors at each end. Refer to the amplifier wiring
diagram for details.
