Installation Warnings
1. Ensure the +12V lead is disconnected from the battery before you
connect any new equipment
2. Ensure that the amplier mounting location and holes will not interfere
with the petrol tank, brake lines or electrical wiring.
3. Ensure the amplier is securely fastened to the vehicle to prevent the
amplier moving and causing damage in the event of an accident
4. Ensure all wiring is protected from sharp objects and from pinching or
crushing which could result in damage to the audio system
5. Ensure the mounting location has sufcient air ow around the
amplier. If the amplier is mounted in an enclosed space a 3” fan
with ducting should be used to assist with cooling.
6. Do not mount any amplier on a subwoofer enclosure as extended
exposure to vibration may cause damage to the amplier.
7. Ensure the minimum recommended gauge wire/cable or larger for all
amplier connections
8. Appropriate mounting is very important for prolonged life
expectancy of any amplier. Select a location that provides
protection from moisture. Keep in mind that an amplier should never
be mounted upside down. Upside down mounting will compromise
heat dissipation through the heat sink and could engage the thermal
protection circuit.

Connection
Ensure the audio system is turned off before making any connections to the
amplier, speakers or source unit. Failure to do so could result in permanent
damage to the audio system.
Ensure the correct gauge cable is used for all connections; consult the cable
calculator diagram below for the correct gauge cable for your installation.

The above chart shows cable gauges to be used, if no less than a 0.5 volt drop is accept-
able. If aluminium wire is used, the gauges should be of an even larger size to compen-
sate. Cable gauge size calculation takes into account terminal connection resistance.
Z150.2 - Z300.4 - Z300.1 - Z600.5 1. +12Volt Power
Ensure ALL other cable connections are
completed before connecting this cable to the
battery. PHOENIX GOLD ampliers should be
connected directly to the 12v battery terminal
using the appropriate gauge cable. Start at the
vehicles battery and run the cable through to
the amplier. PHOENIX GOLD recommends the
use of rubber grommets when passing any ca-
ble through metal panels to avoid sharp corners
or panels that could cut through the insulation
of the cable. An inline fuse or circuit breaker
MUST be used within 30cm (12”) of your battery;
this will prevent the potential

risk of a re caused by a short in your power cable (see specications table for
recommended inline fuse/circuit breaker ratings). Connect the other end of your power
cable to the battery, but remember to leave the fuse out or circuit breaker off until all
other cable connections are made.
2. Remote Turn-On
This connection turns the amplier on and should be connected to the ‘Remote Turn on’
wire from the Head Unit. If one is not available a switched +12v source must be used, such
as a power antenna wire or ACC +12v.
If you are using high level (speaker) inputs and a remote turn on wire is not available, then
instead the ‘Auto Turn-On’ switch must be set to ON
3. Ground
Connect the Ground/Earth cable for your amplier rst. Ensure that the location is a good
source of ground (preferably the chassis/oor pan). Investigate the area you wish to use
to ensure it is free of wiring, vacuum lines, brake and fuel lines. Use either a wire brush or
sandpaper to expose bare metal, this will provide a high current contact for your ground
connection. Use the same gauge cable for the ground cable as you did for the power
cable. Secure the ground cable to the ground point with a bolt, star washer and nut.
Apply some neutral cure silicon to the bolt and bare metal to prevent possible water
leaks and rust. Connect the other end of your ground cable to the amplier.
4. Speaker Output Connection
(Z300.4 - Z150.2 - Z600.5)
Ensure the correct polarity is observed when
connecting speakers/subwoofers.
2 Ohm minimum speaker impedance for stereo
operation (per channel).
4 Ohm minimum speaker impedance for bridged
operation.
4B. Internally Linked Output (Z300.1 ONLY)
The Z300.1 Monoblock amplier provides dual output
connections to simplify wiring when using 2 subwoofers
or a dual voice coil subwoofer. Both positive and
negative terminals and internally connected or linked
in parallel. For dual coil (2 x 4ohm) or two single coil
(4 ohm) subwoofers connect each coil to positive or
negative terminal. For a standard single coil subwoofer
connect to either positive and either negative terminal.

5. RCA Inputs Front-Rear-Subwoofer
Choose the correct length RCA cables to connect the RCA outputs of the source/head unit, to the
input connectors of the amplier. Run the RCA cables on the opposite side of the vehicle. to the power cable and
vehicle wiring loom. Avoid the electric fan motor and wiring. Ensure you follow the correct balance. (L LEFT = White or
Black. R Right = Red)
6. Low Level RCA outputs (Z300.1 + Z1000.1 only)
Use these RCA connectors to connect to a secondary amplier. This output is a pass-thru connection from the RCA
input connectors so that the signal level and frequency response is the same as the original input signal.

7. Gain/Level Control (Sub/Front/Rear)
This control is used to match the input level of the amplier to the output level of your
head unit. We recommend the method below, as failure to follow these steps may
damage the audio system.
1. Turn the amplier Gain to zero
2. Turn the volume of the head unit to ¾ and the bass and treble to zero
3. Adjust the amplier Gain/Level control until the desired maximum volume is
achieved without distortion.
4. Make ne adjustments to tune your install.
8. High Pass Crossover Filter
Set the crossover switch to HP and turn this control to 65Hz or above when using
speaker’s smaller than 6 x 9”. When a subwoofer is used in the system, this feature is
designed to lter out all low bass frequencies that only subwoofers should produce. See
specication table for adjustable frequency range
9. Low Pass Crossover Filter
Ensure the crossover frequency is set at 100Hz or below. This feature must be used with
a subwoofer to lter out all mid to high frequencies that only full range speakers should
produce. See specication table for adjustable frequency range
10. Crossover Switch
Full - This setting is for large speakers (e.g. 6 X 9”) or speakers when a sub
woofer is not included in the system. The amplied audio signal is not ltered
so the full range audio signal is sent to the speakers.
Low - This setting is used when using a subwoofer and will only allow
frequencies below the low pass lter setting to pass through.
High - Used to run mid-range speakers when a spearate subwoofer is
connected. This etting will only allow frequencies above the set high pass lter
setting to pass through.
11. Subsonic Filter (Z300.1 + Z1000.1)
This is a variable control that lters out all subsonic bass frequencies below the set point.
These are frequencies that are not audible. These frequencies can damage
subwoofers. See specication table for adjustable frequency range.
12. Bass Boost (Z300.1 + Z1000.1)
This control adjusts the bass boost at 45Hz, from 0 to +18dB. Start from 0 and slowly
increase to the desired level. Use this control with extreme care as failure to do so may
result in damage to the subwoofers.
13. Remote Bass Controller Port
This connection should be used with the optional remote control
(ZRBC - sold separately) to adjust the bass level from any location within the vehicle.

14. Input Voltage
This function switches the amplier input between Low level (RCA
cable) and High level (speaker wire) connection. Where possible
RCA (Low Level) connections are preferable.
High
The High setting is selected when the Phoenix Gold High
Level adaptor (sold separately) is used to connect a full range signal
from the source (head) unit speaker
connections to the amplier. Simply connect the speaker wires to the
input connections observing polarity and then connect the PHOENIX
GOLD ZRHC to the RCA inputs on the Amplier.
Low
The Low setting is for RCA connection from the source (head) unit to the
amplier. Connect the RCA interconnects to the appropriate Line Out
connectors on the source head unit and connect to the RCA inputs of the
Amplier. This is the preferred installation method, as this provides a higher
quality audio signal.
15. Auto Turn-On
Auto Turn on switch = 12V
If you are using a 12V switched supply to the remote terminal of the amplier this switch
should be in the off position. If you are not using a switched supply and the amplier is
connected to high level inputs this switch should be in the on position
16. Power / Protect LED
1. When illuminated Green, indicates normal operation. Amplier is powered on with no
faults detected
2. When illuminated Red, indicates the amplier is in protection mode / fault state. See
troubleshooting section on the next page.
17. Phase (Z1000.1 ONLY)
This adjusts the phase of the subwoofer relative to the rest of the system. 0-180º
18. RMD (Z1000.1 ONLY)
Use this port to connect to the optional Remote Voltage Display (RMD-1)
