[. . . ] Disconnect the (­) negative lead from your vehicle's battery. · Check clearances on both sides of a planned mounting surface before drilling any holes or installing any screws. [. . . ] Route the wire to the amplifier's location, and connect it to the amplifier's Positive (+12V) terminal. Be sure to use appropriate grommets whenever routing wires through the firewall or other sheet metal. Failure to adequately protect the positive wire from potential damage may result in a vehicle fire. When you are done routing and connecting this wire, you may install a 40A fuse at the battery. Remote Connection Connect the amplifier's Remote (REM) terminal to the source unit's Remote TurnOn lead using a minimum of 18-gauge wire. NOTE: If your source unit does not have a remote turn-on connection, connect the amplifier's (REM) terminal to the vehicle's accessory circuit. Speaker Connections Refer to the application guides on the pages that follow. Wire Gauge Chart Amplifier Maximum Minimum Model Current Draw Wire Gauge CS50. 4 40A #8 AWG CS200. 1 42A #8 AWG These recommendations assume 10' ­ 12' wire runs. If your installation differs markedly, you will need to adjust the wire gauge accordingly. Figure 1. Terminal connection end plate. 2 APPLICATIONS ­ CS200. 1 The CS subwoofer amplifier is a single-channel amplifier. There are two sets of terminals to make it easy to connect multiple woofers. Either set of (+/­) terminals may be used when connecting woofers. To the right are two application diagrams to help plan your subwoofer system installation. Figures 2 and 3 show how to configure the CS200. 1 subwoofer amplifier. [. . . ] Initially turn the INPUT LEVEL control(s) to minimum (counter clockwise). Slowly increase the INPUT LEVEL control(s) toward three o'clock until you hear slight distortion in the music. [. . . ]
