[. . . ] Note: GROUND WIRE SHOULD NOT BE EXTENDED MORE THAN 3 FEET (1 METER) 12. B+ Terminal (Battery Positive) Due to the power requirements of the amplifier, this connection should be made directly to the positive (+) terminal of the battery. For safety purposes, install an in-line fuse holder (not included) as close to the battery positive (+) terminal as possible with an ampere rating not to exceed the total value of fuses in the amplifier. Controls and Functions 13. Remote Turn-on Input The remote terminal needs to be wired to the car's stereo or source unit remote turn on wire. This amplifier is turned on remotely when the vehicle's stereo is turned on. NOTE: iF YOUR RADIO DOES NOT HAVE A +12 VOLT OUTPUT LEAD WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON, THE "REMOTE" TERMINAL ON THE AMPLIFIER CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE'S ACCESSORY CIRCUIT THAT IS LIVE WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED ON. 14. LED Indicators PWR (Power): This BLUE LED will illuminate when the amplifier is turned on. If it fails to illuminate, check the fuses and power connections to the amplifier. PROT (Protection): The amplifier protection circuitry will disable the amplifier if there is an imput overload, short circuit, or extremely high temperature conditions are detected. When the protection mode is in operation, the LED indicator on the side panel will be illuminated RED, indicating the amplifier has gone into a self-preservation mode. If you observe that the protection LED is lit, please check the system carefully to determine what has caused the protection circuit to engage. The amplifier can be reset by turning the remote power off and then on again. If the amplifier shut down due to a thermal overload condition, please allow time for the amp to cool down before restarting. If the amplifier shut down because of an input overload or short circuit, be sure to repair these conditions before attempting to power up the amplifier again. Planning and Mounting Your System Planning Your System Before beginning the installation, consider the following: a. If you plan to expand your system by adding other components sometime in the future, ensure that adequate space is left, and cooling requirements are met. If your radio/source is equipped with Pre-Amp outputs, it is possible to utilize them to drive an Amplifier and connecting (amplifier) to the 2 rear speakers. Then, use the built-in power of your radio to drive the 2 front speakers. NOTE: DISTORTION LEVEL IS CONSIDERABLY LOWER FROM PRE-AMP (LOW LEVEL) OUTPUTS, THAN SPEAKER (HIGH LEVEL) OUTPUTS. b. The RMS power rating of your speakers must be equal or greater than the amplifier's. They also must be 1-8 Ohms impedance (this information is normally printed on the speaker magnet). Consider both the length of your leads, and routing when determining the mounting location. Pre-Amp input Jacks require a length of high quality shielded male to male RCA patch cord. Mounting Your System The mounting position of your amplifier will have a great effect on its ability to dissipate the heat generated during normal operation.
