*1 If you have the factory original or some other car audio or
DSP (digital signal processor) without a remote output
for the amplifier, connect the remote input (REMOTE)
terminal to the ACC power supply. In high level input
connection, the amplifier can also be activated without a
need for REMOTE connection. However, this function is
not guaranteed for all car audio or DSP.
*2 Ground (earth) to the car chassis.
+12 V terminal
Connect the +12 V power supply lead to the +12 V
terminal only after all the other connections have
been completed.
Use a +12 V power supply lead with a 160 A fuse
attached.
During full-power operation, a current of more
than 160 A will run through the system. Therefore,
make sure the leads to be connected to the +12 V
terminal are at least 0-Gauge (AWG-1/0) or have a
sectional area of more than 55 mm² (2
5
/16 in²).
All power leads connected to the positive battery
post should be fused within 450 mm (17
3
/4 in) of
the battery post before they pass through any
metal.
Make sure the leads connecting from the car
battery to the metal point on the car chassis are at
least of a lead gauge equal to that of the +12 V
power supply lead connected from the battery to
the amplifier.
Make sure the leads connecting from the car
battery to the metal point on the car chassis are
not more than 0-Gauge (AWG-1/0) or sectional
area of 55 mm² (2
5
/16 in²), and at least of a lead
gauge equal to that of the +12 V power supply
lead connected from the battery to the amplifier.
GROUND terminal
Be sure to connect the ground (earth) lead
securely to a metal point on the car chassis. A
loose connection may cause the amplifier to
malfunction.
During full-power operation, a current of more
than 160 A will run through the system. Therefore,
make sure the leads to be connected to the
GROUND terminal are at least 0-Gauge (AWG-1/0)
or have a sectional area of more than 55 mm²
(2
5
/16 in²).
REMOTE terminal
To turn on the amplifier using a dedicated remote
turn-on lead, set the TURN-ON switch to
REMOTE”, then connect the remote output
(REMOTE OUT) of your car audio or DSP to the
REMOTE terminal.
When using a car audio or DSP without a remote
output (REMOTE OUT) for the amplifier, connect
the REMOTE terminal to the ACC power supply of
your car or use the signal sensing turn-on setting
instead.
Use a remote turn-on lead with a thickness from
AWG-8 to AWG-18 or a sectional area from
8.4 mm² (
11
/32 in²) to 0.82 mm² (
1
/16 in²).
Notes on using high-level sensing turn-on
settings
In high level input connection, the amplifier can
also be activated without the need for a REMOTE
connection. However, this function is not
guaranteed for all car audio or DSP.
By setting the TURN-ON switch to “SIGNAL”, the
amplifier operates automatically when a turn-on
signal is received from the INPUT connector.
