*1 If you have the factory original or some other car audio
unit without a remote output for the amplifier, connect
the remote input (REMOTE) terminal to the ACC power
supply. In high level input connection, the amplifier can
also be activated without a need for REMOTE connection.
However, this function is not guaranteed for all car audio
units.
*2 Ground (earth) to the car chassis.
+12 V terminal
• Connect the +12 V power supply lead to the +12 V
terminal only after all the other connections have
been completed.
• Use a +12 V power supply lead with a 100 A fuse
attached.
• During full-power operation, a current of more
than 100 A will run through the system. Therefore,
make sure the leads to be connected to the +12 V
terminal are at least 6-Gauge (AWG-6) or have a
sectional area of more than 14 mm² (
• All power leads connected to the positive battery
post should be fused within 450 mm (17
the battery post before they pass through any
metal.
• Make sure the leads connecting from the car
battery to the metal point on the car chassis are at
least of a lead gauge equal to that of the +12 V
power supply lead connected from the battery to
the amplifier.
• Make sure the leads connecting from the car
battery to the metal point on the car chassis are
not more than 0-Gauge (AWG-1/0) or have a
sectional area of 55 mm² (2
of a lead gauge equal to that of the +12 V power
supply lead connected from the battery to the

GROUND terminal
• Be sure to connect the ground (earth) lead
securely to a metal point on the car chassis. A
loose connection may cause the amplifier to
malfunction.
• During full-power operation, a current of more
than 100 A will run through the system. Therefore,
make sure the leads to be connected to the
GROUND terminal are at least 6-Gauge (AWG-6) or

REMOTE terminal
• To turn on the amplifier using a dedicated remote
turn-on lead, set the TURN-ON switch to
"REMOTE", then connect the remote output
(REMOTE OUT) of your car audio unit to the
REMOTE terminal.
• When using a car audio unit without a remote
output (REMOTE OUT) for the amplifier, connect
the REMOTE terminal to the ACC power supply of
your car or use the signal sensing turn-on setting
instead.
• Use a remote turn-on lead with a thickness from
AWG-8 to AWG-18 or a sectional area from
8.4 mm² (

Notes on using high-level sensing turn-on
settings
• In high level input connection, the amplifier can
also be activated without the need for a REMOTE
connection. However, this function is not
guaranteed for all car audio units.
• By setting the TURN-ON switch to "SIGNAL", the
amplifier operates automatically when a turn-on
signal is received from the INPUT connector.
