4. WIRE ROUTING
4.1 MAIN POWER WIRES
Run the positive main power cable („+12 V“) directly from the positive terminal of the car battery to
the amplifier’s detachable power terminal. For protection of your car audio system against electrical
fire hazards, resulting from a short-circuit of the main power cable to chassis ground a main fuse
holder must be inserted within the first 30 cm of the positive main power cable.
The applicable fuse value must be matched to the limitations of your main power cable AND the cur-
rent draw of the amplifier – therefore choose an appropriate fuse value.
Attach the ground cable to the amplifier’s detachable power terminal. In most cases
it will be 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 wire must have the same cross-section as the positive
power cable. The contact point where the ground wire is attached to, must be solid and clean, i.e.
free from rust or paint!
Before connecting the detachable plug to the amplifier, tighten both power input terminals of the plug,
and double check for perfect fit of both main cable leads!
4.2 RCA & REMOTE WIRES
Carefully run the audio signal interconnects, the amp remote wire and – if applicable - the cable of the
low pass level remote control from the head-unit or dashboard to the amplifier. As mentioned before,
the audio signal cables should always be routed completely separate from the power cables. Connect
the remote (turn on/turn off) lead to the respective input terminal of the amplifier and to the remote
output of your head-unit. Now you can connect the RCA interconnects to the respective outputs of
your head-unit and to the inputs of the amplifier. The remote low pass level remote control unit can be
mounted in any convenient position where it can be reached while you drive in your car.
4.3 REMOTE & LOUDSPEAKER WIRES
Once the remote and speaker cables have been routed, turn loose the screws of the detachable speaker
terminal and – after inserting the stripped remote and speaker cables – re-tighten the screws. When
baring wires for connection, 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 detachable plug.
At least connect the detachable terminal to the amplifier.
Close the electrical circuit by inserting the main fuse. Now switch on your head unit. The blue
OPERATING LED of the remote control panel should light-up. If the LED lights up red, your installation
is wrong! Immediately turn off your head-unit and carefully re-check all installation steps!
