Operation
TURNING ON THE
AMPLIFIER
The amplifier automatically turns on a few
seconds after you turn your vehicle’s ignition
switch to ACC or ON or turn on your auto
sound system, depending on how you wired
the system. The

when the amplifier is on.
Important:
Your amplifier requires 17 amps
or more of power from your vehicle’s battery
during operation. To protect your battery
from discharging, do not operate the amplifi-
er unless your vehicle is running.
Note:
Your amplifier temporarily shuts down
if it gets too hot, then restarts automatically
once it cools.
