3. Mount the fuseholder within 18" of the battery using two (2) #8
screws. Disassemble the fuseholder. You should have 2 black
plastic end caps, 2 gold-plated fuse clips, a plastic spacer and
the fuseholder body. Trim the amplifier power cable to reach
the fuseholder and strip the wire 3/8". Slide one of the end caps
over the wire (narrow end first) and insert the wire into one of
the fuse clips. Tighten the set screw. Screw the black end cap
to the fuseholder body to secure the cable. Use the section of
cable that was trimmed earlier and connect it to the other end
of the fuseholder. Install the plastic spacer in the fuseholder
and attach the cable to the fuseholder body.
NOTE: The B+ cable MUST be fused 18" or less from the
vehicle's battery. Install the fuseholder under the hood and
prepare the cable ends as stated above. Connections should
be water tight.
4. Strip 3/8" from the battery end of the power cable and crimp
the large ring terminal to the cable. Use the ring terminal to
connect to the battery positive terminal. Do not install the fuse
at this time.
5. Prepare a length of cable to be used for the ground connection.
Strip 5/8" of insulation from the end of the cable as described
previously and connect to the appropriate terminal of the
amplifier. Prepare the chassis ground by scraping any paint
from the metal surface and thoroughly clean the area of all dirt
and grease. Strip the other end of the wire and attach a ring
connector. Fasten the cable to the chassis using a screw.
6. Prepare the REM turn-on wire for connection to the amplifier
by stripping 5/8" of insulation from the wire end and crimping
an insulated spade connector in place. Slide the connector
over the REM terminal on the amplifier. Connect the other end
of the REM wire to a switched 12 volt positive source. The
switched signal is usually taken from the source unit's auto
antenna or the accessory lead. If the source unit does not have
these outputs available, the recommended solution is to wire
a mechanical switch in line with a 12 volt source to activate
the amplifier.
7. Connect the source signal to the amplifier by plugging the RCA
cables into the input jacks at the amplifier.
