Mounting instructions

•As a precaution, it is recommended to disconnect the vehicles battery before mounting the amplifier.

Note: For new vehicles, disconnecting the battery might cause various errors in your vehicle´s electric

system that can be cleared only by authorized service partners of your vehicle´s manufacturer! Please

ask your service partner first before disconnecting the battery!

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

a fuse value matching the recommendation for your amplifier

Note: If there is more than one amplifier connected using this power wire, the main fuse value must be

equal to the sum of the recommended fuses of all connected devices. However, make sure the

diameter of your power wire will be enough for the required current!

•If necessary, replace a defective fuse by a fuse with identical quality and value

•Never drill holes to the vehicle´s gas tank, brake lines, to wirings or any other important vehicle parts!

•Never pass wires over sharp edges or vehicle parts due avoid any kind of damage

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

•Lay the power supply wiring always separated from speaker wiring to avoid disturbance

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

After a certain cooling time, it will turn on automatically. To avoid heat build-up, enough air supply for

cooling must be provided. Never cover the surface of the amplifier´s heatsink entirely

•The amplifier should NEVER be mounted onto a vibrating part or surface such as a subwoofer

enclosure. This might lead to malfunction due to loosened electrical parts inside the amplifier.

•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 it.

(*not required in high-level input mode)

GND To be connected to the vehicle´s ground

(or directly to the negative terminal of the battery)

Fuse(s)

If necessary to replace a defective fuse, it´s strongly recommended to

use a fuse with identical value

Speaker terminal

To connect the speaker wires

min. 2 ohms load in stereo mode

min. 4 ohms load in bridged mode

Bass boost control

To increase the bass level at 45 Hz up to 12 dB

Line input (RCA)

Input sockets to connect RCA wires

Important note: High-level and RCA inputs should

never

be used

simultaneously! This may cause serious damage to the amplifier

High-level input

Head units without RCA pre-amplifier output signal can be connected

using the high-level input to connect the speaker output of the head

unit directly.

If used, the amplifier turns on automatically (auto-on feature)

The remote input of the power supply terminal remains unused

Important note: High-level and RCA inputs should

never

be used

simultaneously! This may cause serious damage to the amplifier

Sensitivity control

Controller to adjust the input sensitivity

Low pass filter

To adjust the required crossover point. Frequencies above the selected

crossover point will be filtered (40 Hz to 4000 Hz)

High pass filter

To adjust the required crossover point. Frequencies below the selected

crossover point will be filtered (40 Hz to 4000 Hz)

Status indication

POWER (green) ok (correct operation)

PROTECT (red) error (protection mode)

RADIOACTIVE SERIES

Listening to music can be emotional, impressive, relaxing or enjoyable. At that, it doesn´t really

matter what kind of music is the personal favorite, whether it´s Instrumental, Jazz, Electro,

Latin, Classic, Rock or any other music direction. However, audio reproduction quality at each

desired volume is elementary. Some music styles require higher levels while others prefer the

soft tones.

GROUND ZERO considers all the different wishes of customers during the development of

new products. Along with this, the target is to create the most realistic sound, to transfer the

soul of the music and the intention of the performer. Summarized to one phrase: RESPECT THE

MUSIC!
