- Page 2 It is important that you closely follow the wiring instructions contained in this Owners Manual so that you get the most from your MDS Class D Mono mobile amplifier.
- Page 3 We strongly recommend installation by an authorized MDS dealer. This Owners Manual only provides general installation and operation instructions. If you have any reservations about your installation skills, please contact your local MDS dealer for assistance. IMPORTANT: This amplifier is designed for operation...
- Page 4 INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS Proceed only if you are a qualiied installer, otherwise; see your Authorized MDS NOTE: Dealer to professionally install this amplifier. Always wear protective eyewear when us- ing tools. • Turn off all stereo and other electrical devices before you begin.
- Page 5 MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIER To keep your MDS amplifier running at top performance, choosing the proper location is of utmost importance. For this reason the amplifier should be mounted in a location which will allow air to circulate freely. A clearance of at least 2-inches (5 cm) to all sides of the amplifier is necessary not only for proper cooling, but also for gaining access to...
- Page 6 NOTE: Panel Layout and Controls may differ by model. REMOTE LEVEL PORT This is the connector port for the optional Remote Gain Control. Now the ampliiers sec- ondary gain circuit can be adjusted from the driver’s seat. Requires MDS-GAIN-18dB accesory. HIGH INPUT Allows you to connect speaker output from factory radio to amplifier without the use of a...
- Page 7 “mm” for each model. (Remote Input Connection) All MDS ampliiers can be turned on by applying 12V to this terminal. This can be found on the rear of the source unit in the form of an electric antenna output, or a remote out- put.
- Page 8 POWER WIRING AND SIGNAL CONNECTIONS Your MDS amplifier requires unrestricted current to deliver peak performance, so do not “starve” your amplifier by using small power cable. Using under sized power cable can result in unnecessary over-heating of the amplifier, distortion at high volume levels and might even cause the thermal protection circuitry to shut-off the amplifier.

Page 9: Power Wiring
These ampliiers are designed to work within a 9- to 16VDC range. Before any wires are connected, the vehicles electrical system should be checked for correct voltage supply with the help of a voltmeter. First, check the voltage at the battery with the ignition in the OFF position. The voltmeter should read no less than 12V. - Page 10 (cross) type screwdriver. FUSE REQUIREMENTS While the panel on your MDS amplifier incorporates one or more fuses, these do nothing to protect the vehicle from a dangerous short circuit. It is absolutely vital that the main power lead to the ampliier(s) in the system be fused within 30cm of the connection to the vehicle battery.
- Page 11 Choose the correct length and style of RCA interconnects for your needs. Always use high quality RCA audio cables (MDS) for signal connections—those with mul- tiple layers of shielding or a twisted pair variety provides better noise rejection. Be extra careful when routing your RCA audio interconnect cables. Car environments are notorious for poorly insulated wires.
- Page 12 (Optional) HIGH LEVEL CONNECTIONS High Level inputs have been included to connect the amplifier to a radio without low-lev- el outputs (i.e. factory radio). This plug-in terminal will allow you to connect directly to the speaker output of the radio without the need of an external adapter. Determine the type of radio you have and make one of the following connections.

- Page 14 Remote Level Controller Connection (Option) A Remote Level control module is available sep- arately, ask your dealer for model MDS-GAIN- 18dB. It uses standard telephone wire and tele- phone RJ45 connectors. To connect the Remote Level Control to the amplifier, simply insert one...
- Page 15 SPEAKER WIRING AND CONFIGURATIONS Speaker (Subwoofer) Load Keep in mind your MDS Class D amp is a high power ampliier and not a high current amplifier. In other words this amplifier requires a minimum impendance of 1-Ohm mono to operate trouble free. Lower impedance will send the amplifier into protection and possibly damage the electronics inside.
- Page 17 Maintaining proper impedance is critical when wiring the Class D model ampli- iers. Improper wiring can cause severe damage to BOTH the woofer and the amplifier. Detailed wiring diagrams are supplied with all MDS woofers. IF YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCED OR UNCOMFORTABLE READING THE WIR- ING DIAGRAMS CONSULT YOUR AUTHORIZED MDS DEALER BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO WIRE THE SYSTEM.
