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 a 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 GND 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 non-anodized screw and a star washer.
6. Prepare the REM turn-on wire for connection to the amplifier by
stripping 1/4" 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. Securely mount the amplifier (with supplied screws) to the
vehicle or amp rack. Be careful not to mount the amplifier on
cardboard or plastic panels. Doing so may enable the screws to
pull out from the panel due to road vibration or sudden vehicle
stops.
