Presentation
RCA input for up to 4V RMS: Input gain adjustment that allows head units up to 4V RMS output level;
Dual RCA IN / OUT Input: RCA connector with input and output function, eliminates the needing of "Y"
cables for send the same unput signal to another amplifier;
Power connector for cables up to 2/0 AWG: Allows the use of power cables with larger gauge (up to
70mm²) for higher performance;
AUTO-Restart Protections: The amplifier automatically restarts after a protection event;
RAMP audio initialization: After turning on the amplifier, audio is released gradually (ramp).
Key recommendations
You can find below some key recommendations to get the maximum performance of your amplifier:
1- Read this instruction manual carefully before carrying out any connection;
Any connection to the amplifier input or output must be carried out when amplifier is off;
2 - Check carefully the polarity of power supply wiring (battery's positive and negative terminals)
loudspeakers and the minimum speaker impedance;
3 - It is compulsory to install fuses to protect against overloading. The fuse or circuit breaker must be
installed as close as possible to the battery and sized up according to the amplifier;
4 - The gauge of power supply wiring is extremely important both to reach the desired amplifier power
and to the amplifier's safety. Use the wire gauge recommended in this manual (page 11). Using wire
gauges below the specified value will result in power loss and overheating of cables. It is important that
the power supply cables are the shortest lenght as possible;
5 - The amplifier must be installed in a firm and ventilated area;
6 - In order to avoid interferences, the signal cable (RCA) must be installed away from the vehicle's wire
harness or from any other power supply cable;
7 - The amplifier must be installed by a qualified professional.
