Safety information
Make sure that your stereo and other audio equipment is
turned off while connecting the input jacks and speaker
terminals of your amplifier.
The +12 volt DC power wire must be fused at the battery
positive (+) terminal connection. Before making or breaking
power connections at this system’s power terminals,
disconnect the +12V wire at the battery end.
Because of the amplifier’s power requirements, the amplifier’s
power connection should be made directly to the battery’s
positive (+) terminal. For safety, install an in-line fuse holder
(not included) as close to the battery’s positive (+) terminal as
possible. The fuse should have an ampere rating not
exceeding the total value of the fuses in the amplifier.
Thoroughly investigate the layout of your vehicle before drilling
or cutting any holes. Take extra precautions when working near
tanks, lines, hydraulic lines, and electrical wiring. Don’t mount
this system so that the wire connections are unprotected or are
subject to pinching or damage from nearby objects.
The amplifier produces a large amount of heat, and that heat
must be dissipated correctly or the amplifier will turn off to
prevent damage. Do not enclose the amplifier in a small box or
cover it so that air cannot flow around the cooling fins. If
mounting it in a trunk, mount it vertically.
If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only with a
fuse identical to that supplied with the system. Using a fuse of
a different type or rating may result in damage to this system,
which isn’t covered by the warranty.
If the Protect LED is on, carefully check the system to
determine what has caused the protection circuit to engage.
The amplifier can be reset by turning the remote power off and
then on again. If the amplifier shut down because of thermal
overload, allow it to cool down before restarting. If the amplifier
shut down because of an input overload or short circuit, repair
these conditions before trying to turn the amplifier on again.
Continued exposure to excessively high volume sound levels
may cause hearing loss or damage. Operation of a motor
vehicle while listening to audio equipment at high volume levels
may impair your ability to hear external sounds such as horns,
warning signals, or emergency vehicles, which could create a
traffic hazard.
