INSTALLATION STEP 2
To ensure maximum output from your
amplifier, use high quality,
loss power and ground cables and connections. The
202 ampli-
fiers will accept up to 8 gauge power and ground cables. The

CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND FUSES
EXTERNAL
Like all audio components, the
amplifiers must be fused near the bat-
tery. A fuse or circuit breaker must be located within 18” of the

correct fuse value.
correct fuse value.
INTERNAL
The
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
void the warranty!
