Before any wiring and installation is performed, FUSION recommends you first plan the complete installation. Look at wiring routing, amplifier location and fitment. Please re-check the installation at completion.
Appropriate mounting is very important for prolonged life expectancy of any amplifier. Select a location that allows enough space so sufficient airflow is maintainable and a location that provides protection from moisture. Keep in mind that an amplifier should never be mounted upside down. Upside down mounting will compromise heat dissipation through the heatsink and could engage the thermal protection circuit.
Excessive heat will shorten your amplifier's life. To maximise heat dissipation, be sure to leave at least 2.5 " of clearance around the amplifier. If space is of the essence and the amplifier must be mounted in an enclosed or restricted area, a small 3" fan should be used in correspondence with a duct so that the heat can flow past the heatsink.
WARNING: Do not mount any amplifier on a subwoofer enclosure, as extended exposure to vibration may cause malfunction of the amplifier.
To avoid scratching your new FUSION Amplifier, pre-drill the mounting holes with either a 3mm or 9/64" diameter drill bit and use the screws supplied in the accessory kit..
INSTALLATION WARNING
1: Ensure the vehicle 12 volt lead is removed from the battery before any equipment is connected.
2: Investigate the vehicle's gas tanks, brake lines and electrical wiring locations before you begin installation.
3: Attach the product securely to the vehicle to prevent damage in the event of an accident.
4: Ensure all wiring is protected to avoid damage or pinching of the cables.
WIRING
Make sure before any connection is made to the amplifier or source unit, ensure that you turn the audio system off. Failure to do so could result in either the stock system or your new FUSION product being damaged. FUSION does not warranty damaged amplifiers due to incorrect installation.
When wiring the FUSION amplifier, ensure that the wires are away from sharp objects and that rubber grommets and insulated bungs are used when wiring through door jams and any other steel panels. FUSION recommends using 4 gauge power and ground wire for power installation. Please see power cable calculator (Fig.1).
Ensure that when connecting the wires to the speakers and audio system, the terminals and connections are protected from the vehicle chassis and each other. If the wires short together or touch the vehicle chassis, the audio system could be damaged.

The above chart shows cable gauges to be used, if no less than a 0.5 volt drop is acceptable. If aluminium wire or tinned wired is used, the gauges should be of an even larger size to compensate. Cable gauge size calculation takes into account terminal connection resistance.

CONNECTION
Note: Ensure the audio system is off during the installation of FUSION product. Once the installation is complete FUSION recommends that you turn the volume of the source unit up slowly so not to damage the speakers. Please recheck the complete installation prior to turning the audio system on.

GND REM +12VFUSION amplifiers should be wired directly to the vehicle battery using appropriately sized cable. Start at the vehicle battery and run the power cable through to the amplifier. FUSION recommends the use of grommets when passing the power cable through any metal wall. Avoid sharp corners or sharp body parts that may easily cut through the insulation on the cable.
Avoid running the power cable over engine components or near heater cores. The use of an inline fuse or circuit breaker is essential. This will prevent the risk of a potential fire caused by a short circuit in your power cable. Connect the fuse holder or circuit breaker as close to the battery positive terminal as possible. Use a fuse or circuit breaker of equal value as that found on the chassis of your FUSION amplifier. You may now connect the cable to the battery, but remember to leave the fuse out or circuit breaker off until all other cable connections are made.
GROUND
When grounding your FUSION Amplifier locate a metal area close to the amplifier that is a good source of ground (preferably the floor pan). Once again, investigate the area you wish to use for electrical wires, vacuum lines, and brake or fuel lines. Use either a wire brush or sandpaper to eliminate unwanted paint. This will allow a better contact for your ground. Use the same gauge cable for the ground as you did for the power. Secure the ground cable to the body using a bolt, star washer and nut. Spread silicon over the screw and bare metal to prevent rust and possible water leaks. Now it's time to connect the power and ground cables to the amplifier. Cut both cables to length. Loosen the +12V and the GND connections on the amplifier. Terminate the ground first, and then the +12V. Make sure that you terminate them into the correct terminals. Now tighten the screws down securely.
REMOTE TURN-ON
This terminal must be connected to a switched +12V source. Typically, remote turn-on leads are provided at the headunit to turn the amplifier on and off in correspondence with the source. If the head unit does not have a remote turn-on lead, then a power antenna wire can be used. If neither of these leads are present on the head unit then a switched +12V supply must be used, like the ACC +12V.
Run a minimum of 18 gauge wire from the amplifier location to the source of the switched +12V lead. If possible, route this wire on the same side of the vehicle as your power cable. Connect the source remote output to the wire. Go back to the amplifier and cut the wire to length. Loosen the screw terminal marked REM on the amplifier using a Hex type screwdriver. Slip the wire into the connector and tighten the screw securely.

MONO L - + R -Keep in mind FUSION NV Series Amplifier series are high power amplifiers and not high current amplifiers. In other words, they require a minimum impedance of 2 ohms STEREO and 4 ohms bridged MONO to operate trouble free. Too low an impedance could send your FUSION amplifier into protection mode and/or damage the amplifier.
SPEAKER WIRING
Choose the correct speaker wire for your application. Most applications will require a minimum of 16 gauge. Route the speaker wire using the same precautions as you did when you ran the power cables. Terminate these wires at the speaker end by using insulated speaker terminals (not supplied) or by soldering the connection. Make sure the speaker connections are positive to positive and negative to negative. At the amplifier end, use a Hex type screwdriver to loosen the speaker terminals on the amplifier. Connect the speaker wires and tighten the screws securely. Check to make sure you've maintained proper polarity and balance.

INPUT OUTPUT L L R RRCA INPUT CONNECTION
LOW LEVEL INPUTS
Choose the correct length and style of RCA interconnects for your needs. The FUSION range of RCA's gives you a variety of alternative solutions. These have multiple layers of shielding or are a twisted pair variety for better noise rejection (consult your FUSION dealer if unsure which to purchase).
Be extra careful with your RCA interconnects. Car environments are notorious for poorly insulated wires. This means that hiss, engine noise, and fan noise can easily be picked up through RCA cables if run incorrectly. Avoid running your RCA's near large wire looms and electric fans if possible. Run your RCA cables on the opposite side of the vehicle to the power cable. Be sure to check for correct balance. (Red is right and black or white is left).
LEVEL CONTROL
The LEVEL control, allows you to match the input level of the amplifier to the output level of your head unit. Matching the input can be accomplished in three simple steps:
1: Turn the LEVEL control on the amplifier to minimum.
2: Turn up the headunit and adjust to 3/4 maximum volume ensuring that the BASS and TREBLE are set to zero.
3: Adjust the LEVEL control until desired volume is achieved without audible distortion. Remember, the gain control is not a volume control. Ignoring the three steps above may leave you with damaged speakers and/or a damaged amplifier.
