Insignia NS-A1000 Car Stereo Amplifier

• If your source unit is equipped with both low-level (pre-amp
level with RCA connectors) and high-level (speaker level) types
of outputs, use the low-level outputs (RCA connectors) for the
amplifier inputs. This type of connection provides for increased
bandwidth and you can still utilize the speaker outputs to drive
the (smaller) front speakers directly.
• Are your components matched? The peak power rating of your
speakers must be equal to, or greater than, the amplifier output
rating. They also must be 2-8 ohms impedance (normally
printed on the speaker magnet).
• Consider both the length of your leads and the routing when
determining the mounting location. Pre-amp input jacks require
a length of high-quality shielded male-to-male RCA patch cord.
Setting up your amplifier
Mounting the amplifier
The following should be considered before mounting your amplifier:
• Select a suitable location that is convenient for mounting, is
accessible for wiring, and has ample room for air circulation
and cooling.
Note
The distortion level is considerably lower from pre-amp (low
level) outputs, than from speaker (high level) outputs.
Warning
Check the layout of your automobile thoroughly before
drilling or cutting any holes. Take extreme care when you
work near the fuel tank lines, hydraulic lines, or electrical
wiring. Do not mount this system so that the wire
connections are unprotected and subject to pinching or
damage from nearby objects.
The +12V DC power wire must be fused at the battery's
positive terminal connection. Before making or breaking
power connections at the system's power terminals,
disconnect the +12 V wire at the battery's end.
Confirm that your source unit and other equipment are all
turned off while connecting the input jacks and speaker
terminals.
If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only with a
fuse identical to that which is supplied with the system.
Using a fuse of different type or rating may result in damage
to the system and this type of damage would NOT be
covered by the standard warranty.
