3. ELECTRICAL WIRING
3.3 CONNECTION OF POWER CABLES
Run the positive power cable ("+12 V") directly from
the positive terminal of the car battery to the amplifier.
Make sure the power cable makes good contact to the
battery; i.e. use an appropriate battery clamp that ac-
cepts big gauge power cables! For protection of your car
audio system and your entire car against electrical fire
hazards from a short-circuit of the main power cable
with chassis ground, you must insert a main fuse (holder)
within the first 30cm of the battery. The fuse type/value
should be matching the limitations of your main power
cable and the requirements of your car audio system.
Preferably a minimum of 80 Amperes with this amplifier
and an appropriate power cable cross-section.
Now you route the ground cable to the amplifier. It is best
to keep the ground cable ("-12V") as short as possible,
i.e. to find a chassis contact very close to the amplifier.
The ground power cable must have the same cross-sec-
tion as the positive power cable. It is recommended to
use a corrosion-resistant gold-plated power ring or a
massive ground clamp between the ground cable and
the chassis ground point. Keep in mind that audible
interferences and problems originating in the power
supply of the amplifier, are mostly based on a bad ground
contact. So a good (and clean) grounding to the vehicle
chassis is absolutely crucial, to obtain best performance
of your amplifier.
Especially the music signal cables (RCA interconnects)
should be kept far away from any potential sources of
electrical interference i.e. electronic vehicle manage-
ment systems (engine computers, relays etc.) fuel
pumps, wiring harnesses etc.!
3.1 RCA INTERCONNECTS / REMOTE
LEAD
Carefully run the RCA audio signal interconnect(s) and
the remote switching cable from the head-unit to the
amplifier. The audio signal cables should be routed com-
pletely separate from the power cables. Use only double
or triple shielded quality cables!
Connect the remote wire lead to the remote output of the
head-unit and to the remote input terminal of the ampli-
fier. Finally connect the RCA interconnect cable(s) to the
respective outputs on the head-unit and the RCA inputs
of the amplifier.
3.2 LOUDSPEAKER CABLES
Connect the loudspeaker wires to the speaker terminals
of the amplifier. Use good quality wires of 2.5mm² cross-
section. You will need a set of Allen wrenches for the con-
nection of the wires!
When baring wires, remove approximately 6-8mm of
the insulation and after axially twisting the wires; insert
the bare ends into the corresponding speaker terminal
output on the amplifier. Be sure to follow correct polarity
("+" to "+"; "-" to "-"). Tighten the terminal screws on
the amplifier.
