WIRING
POWER AND GROUND
To ensure maximum output from your
RUBICON
amplifier, use high quality,
low-
loss power and ground cables and connections. The
RUBICON
amplifiers will
accept up to 4 gauge power and ground cables. Determine from the chart below
the minimum gauge power and ground wire for your application.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND FUSES
EXTERNAL
Like all audio components, the RUBICON amplifiers must be fused near the
batters. A fuse or circuit breaker must be located within 18” of the batterv. This will
e
*
prevent a fire in the event of a shorted cable. See the chart below to determine the
correct fuse value.
INTERNAL
The
RUBICON
amplifiers are fused with an automotive-type or Maxi-fuse. In the
event of a blown power supply fuse(s), replace with the correct value fuse found in
the chart below. Never replace the fuse with a higher value than what is sup-
plied.
This may result in amplifier damage and will void the warranty!
