min 35.0 mm² / 2 AWG

Remote wire

min 0.75 mm² / 20 AWG

Mounting instructions

•As a precaution, it is recommended to disconnect the vehicles battery before mounting (also note the vehicles manual!)

•The power supply wire (+12 V) has to be protected within max. 20 cm / 8” by a main fuse holder with matching fuse value

(Main fuse value has to be equal to the sum of the recommended fuses of all connected devices to the power wire)

•If necessary, replace a defective fuse with the identical value only

•Never drill a hole to the vehicles gas tank or brake lines, to wirings or any other important vehicle part!

•Never pass wires over sharp edges or vehicle parts

•Keep the wiring away from the antenna and electronic devices contributing to radio reception

•Lay the power supply wiring always separated from speaker wiring

•The amplifier contains a temperature protection circuit that turns the device off in case of overheating. After a cooling time,

it will turn on again automatically. To avoid heat build-up, sufficient air supply for cooling must be provided. Never cover the

surface of the heatsink entirely.

•The amplifier should not be mounted on a strongly vibrating part or surface (e.g. subwoofer enclosure)

•Some amplifiers offer a high-level input option, however if a pre-amplified output (RCA) is available ( at the head unit),

it is strongly recommended to make use of them.

WARNING !

Powerful car audio systems are able to create extremely high SPL similar to real live concert levels. Permanent exposure to excessively high

sound levels may cause damage to or loss of the hearing.

Furthermore, operation of a motor vehicle while listening to audio equipment at high volume levels may impair your ability to concentrate

on road traffic and external sounds such as horns, warning signals or emergency vehicles. In the interest of general and own safety, it is

recommended to listen to music at appropriately low volume levels while driving.
