L R ȵ ȶ ȷ ȸ ȹȺ7GB Parts for Installation and Connection This parts list does not include all the package contents. Installation

• Mount the amplifier either inside the trunk (boot) or under a seat.

• For your safety, choose a mounting location that

ill not interfere with any driving operations.

• Do not install the amplifier near the heater, in

reas that get exposed to direct sunlight, or subject to high temperature.

• Do not install the amplifier under a floor carpet

here the heat dissipation from the amplifier will be considerably impaired.

• Avoid installing the amplifier in areas subject to

ain, moisture, dust and dirt. Mounting the amplifier

Place the amplifier on your selected mounting location, then mark the position of the 4 screw holes on a mounting board (not supplied). 2 Drill a 3 mm (

/8 in) pilot hole at each mark and mount the amplifier onto the board with the mounting screws . The mounting screws are 20 mm (

/16 in) long, so make sure that the mounting board is thicker than 20 mm (

/16 in). Changing the heat sink cover direction The direction of the heat sink cover can be changed according to your preference. 1 Slide the cover forward, then lift to remove it. 2 Rotate the cover to your desired direction. 3 Align the cover to the catches on the amplifier, then slide the cover back until it clicks into place. Installation and Connection Mounting screw (5 × 20 mm ( /32 × /16 in)) (4) Hex key (2.5 mm ( /32 in)) (1) Installing the Amplifier 8GB Connection

• Before making any connections, disconnect the ground (earth) terminal of the car battery to avoid short circuits. Connect this amplifier to the +12 V power supply lead only after all other leads have been connected.

• This amplifier is designed for negative ground (earth) 12 V DC operation only.

• Do not operate the amplifier on a weak battery as

e amplifier requires a good power supply for optimum performance.

• If your car is equipped with a computer system for

urposes such as navigation, disconnecting the ground (earth) terminal of the car battery may damage the computer memory. Leave the ground (earth) lead connected and connect this amplifier to the +12 V power supply lead only after all other leads have been connected to prevent short circuits.

• When connecting and installing the input and out put cables, keep them away from the +12 V power supply lead. Running them close together may generate interference noise. Notes on making connections

• To connect to the terminals on the connector panel and to adjust various settings, remove the top cover to access the control panel (top panel).

• When you tighten the screw, be careful not to

pply too much torque as doing so may damage the terminals or cables. *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 80 A fuse

• During full-power operation, a current of more

han 80 A will run through the system. Therefore, make sure the leads to be connected to the +12 V

erminal are at least 4-Gauge (AWG-4) or have a sectional area of more than 22.0 mm² (

• All power leads connected to the positive battery

ost should be fused within 450 mm (17

/4 in) of the battery post before they pass through any metal.

• Make sure the leads connecting from the car

attery 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

attery 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

/16 in²), and at least of a lead gauge equal to that of the +12 V power supply lead connected from the battery to the amplifier. REMOTE

• 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

han 80 A will run through the system. Therefore, make sure the leads to be connected to the GROUND terminal are at least 4-Gauge (AWG-4) or have a sectional area of more than 22.0 mm²

• 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

utput (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

WG-8 to AWG-18 or a sectional area from

• 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

mplifier operates automatically when a turn-on signal is received from the INPUT connector. The INPUT connector can be used by both low-level

nput and high-level input. Making low-level input connection Set the INPUT VOLTAGE switch to “LOW” and connect the RCA cable (not supplied) from your car audio to the INPUT connector.

• RCA cable (not supplied) Making high-level input connection Set the INPUT VOLTAGE switch to “HIGH” and use a speaker-wire-to-RCA adaptor (not supplied) to connect the speaker wire from your car audio to the INPUT connector.
