4. Speaker Connections

Depending on the type and number of speakers used with the amplifier, wire them to the speaker terminals as per the

appropriate wiring diagram. For most applications, #18 gauge wire should be used for the speaker leads but in no case

thinner than #20 gauge. For leads in excess of 10 feet, #16 gauge is recommended. When wiring the speakers, pay

careful attention to the polarity of the terminals on the speakers and make certain they correspond to the polarity of

the corresponding terminals on the amplifier. DO NOT

DO NOT

DO NOT ground any speaker leads to the chassis of the vehicle.

5. Input Connections

This amplifier features both high and low-level input capability. Use either the low-level or high-level inputs, not both.

If low-level outputs are provided from the car stereo, it is recommended that the low-level inputs be used for lowest

distortion and best performance. Use good quality shielded audio cables with RCA plugs at both ends to connect the

stereo to the amplifier and keep the cable lengths to a minimum to avoid noise.

If the car stereo does not provide low-level outputs, the amplifier may be connected via the speaker (high-level) outputs

from the stereo. Wire the speaker leads from the car stereo to the 5-pin adaptor harness as shown in the diagram

(shielded cable is not required for this application) and plug the connector into the mating High-Level Input socket on

the amplifier. Carefully splice and insulate all wire connections.

CAUTION

CAUTION:

: Use either the low-level or the high-level inputs on the amplifier.

DO NOT

DO NOT use both input levels at the same time.
