2. Securely connect the supplied dark
blue/white wire’s spade connector end
to the amplifier’s
REM
(remote power)
terminal.
3. Connect the dark blue/white wire’s
other end to your autosound system’s
switched power lead using a twist-on
terminal connector (such as Cat. No.
64-3057, not supplied).
Note:
If your autosound system does not have a remote power output lead,
connect this wire to a point in your vehicle’s fuse box that provides 12-volt
battery power when the ignition is set to ON or ACC.This connection turns
on the amplifier when you turn your ignition switch to on (or to ACC) and
turns off the amplifier when you turn off the ignition.
4. Connect the black wire’s eyelet/spade terminal end to the amplifier’s two
GND
terminals.
5. Securely connect the black wire’s eyelet-terminal to a nearby metal ground,
such as a bolt attached to a part of the vehicle’s chassis.
Note:
Be sure the bolt is not insulated from the chassis by a plastic part or
other insulating material.
6. Connect the red wire’s eyelet/spade terminal end to the amplifier’s two
+12V
terminals.
7. Remove the nut from the positive (
+
)
cable’s terminal bolt, mount the red
wire’s 50A fused eyelet terminal on the
bolt, then replace and tighten the bolt.
Caution:
Due to the amplifier’s high
current requirement, you MUST con-
nect the red wire’s fused end directly
to the vehicle’s positive (
+
) battery
cable terminal bolt or damage to your
vehicle’s wiring could result.
Note:
Do not reconnect your vehicle battery’s negative (–) cable yet.
