Key Recommendations
You can find below some key recommendations to get the most out of your
amplifier:
Examples of connections in the
1-) Read this instruction manual carefully before carrying out any connection.
power supply input:
ANY CONNECTION TO THE AMPLIFIER INPUT OR OUTPUT MUST BE
Note: Minimum current required: 170A
CARRIED OUT WHEN AMPLIFIER IS OFF;
2-) Check carefully the polarity of power supply wiring (battery's positive and
It is compulsory to install
negative terminals) and loudspeakers, and the minimum speaker impedance;
protection fuses or circuit
3-) It is compulsory to install fuses to protect against overloading. The fuse or
breakers the closest possible
from batteries, and the final value
circuit breaker must be installed as close as possible to the battery and sized
should be around 170A
according to the amplifier;
4-) The gauge of power supply wiring is extremely important both to reach the
desired amplifier output and to the amplifier's safety. Use the wire gauge
recommended in this manual (page 5). Using wire gauges below the specified
value will result in power loss and overheating of cables. It is important that the
power supply cables are the shortest possible.
5-) Amplifier must be installed in a firm and ventilated area.
6-) In order to avoid interferences, the signal cable (RCA) must be away from
the original wiring of vehicle or from any other power supply cable.
Remoto
7-) The amplifier must be installed by a qualified professional.
Recommended wire gauge and fuse
Positive / negative power supply cable
Protection fuse or circuit breaker
Calculated considering a maximum length of 4 m.
Caution:
Using wire gauges below the recommendation will result in power loss and overheating of wiring.
Check polarity and never reverse power supply cables due to the risk of damage to the amplifier.
