Dual DA301L Car Amplifier User Manual


 
NOTE:
Be sure to follow specific instructions included with your amplifier installation kit
(not included with this amplifier). The information below should be used as a general
guideline only.
Power Wire (+12V)
•Disconnectnegativebatteryterminalbeforeproceeding.Consultaqualified
technician for instructions if you are unsure.
•Planwireroutingbeforecuttinganywirestolength.Beginbyroutingthepower
+12Vwirefromthebatterytotheamplifierlocation.Useagrommetwhenrunning
wiresthroughthefirewallormetalopenings.Avoidrunningthepowerwirenear
existingvehiclewiringtopreventinducednoisefromenteringtheaudiosystem.
•Useextremecautionwhendrillingholestoavoiddamagingfuellinesorexisting
vehiclewiring.
•The+12VwireMUSTbefusedwithin18"ofthebatteryforprotectionofthevehicle’s
electrical system.
Ground Wire (GND)
•Theamplifiergroundwireshouldbeasshortaspossible(nomorethan36"or
1meter).Chooseacleanunpaintedsectionofmetalorthevehiclechassiswhen
attachingthegroundconnection.Besuretocleantheareaofanydirtorgrease.
Remote Turn-on Wire (REM)
•Theremoteturn-onwireconnectstotheheadunit'samplifierturn-onleador
powerantennaoutput.
Speaker Wires
•Chooseadequategaugespeakerwiredependingonyourexactamplifier/speaker
combination.Besuretoobservepolaritywhenconnecting.
•Donotgroundanyspeakerwiresorconnectanyspeakerwirestogether.
Input Signal
•Theamplifier'sinputsignalconnectstotheheadunit'slowlevel(RCA)orhighlevel
(speakerwire)outputs.
•Lowlevelinputsignalsdeliverthebestperformance.Ifunavailable,usethehigh
levelinputs-wheninterfacingwithfactoryheadunitforinstance.
CAUTION
•Donotusebothlowandhighlevelinputsatthesametime.Connectonlyoneorthe
other.
•Keeplowlevelinputsawayfromanypowerwirestoavoidenginenoise.
•Neverrunanywiresunderneathoroutsidethevehicle.
