Connection
Power cable connection
To prevent fire caused by a short in the wiring, connect a fusible link or breaker nearby the battery’s
positive terminal.
Wiring
If a buzzing noise is heard from the speakers when the engine is running, connect a line noise filter
(optional) to each of the battery cable.
Do not allow the cable to directly contact the edge of the iron plate by using Grommets.
Connect the ground cable to a metal part of the car chassis that acts as an electrical ground
passing electricity to the battery‘s negative - terminal. Do not turn the power on if the ground
cable is not connected.
Please be sure to install a protective fuse in the power cable, near the battery. Use a fuse which
has a capacity about 10A higher than the capacity of the fuse in the unit.
For the power cable and the earth cable, use (flame-resistant) power wiring cables for in-car use.
For the power cable, use a power wiring cable with a current capacity about 10A higher than the
capacity of the protective fuse (about 20A higher than the capacity of the fuse in the unit).
When more than one power amplifier are going to be used, use a power supply wiring cable and
protective fuse of greater current-handling capacity than the total maximum current drawn by each
amplifier.
