Pyle HTG138 Instruction Manual - Page 3

PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM Before beginning the installation, consider the following: 1. Do you plan to add additional mobile electronics equipment in the future? If you plan to expand your system by adding other components sometime in the future, ensure adequate space is left and cooling requirements are met. 2. Should you use high or low level inputs? Your Ampli er has been designed to accept Low-Level (Pre-Amp outputs from your radio) source signal. If your radio/source is equipped with Pre-Amp outputs, it is possible to utilize them to drive the Ampli er and the 2 front speakers. Then, use the built-in power of your radio to drive the 2 rear speakers. 3. Are your components matched? The RMS power rating of your speaker(s) must be equal or greater than the RMS power rating of your ampli er. Your speaker(s) also must be 2- 8 Ohms impedance for stable ampli er operation. Impedance information is normally printed on the speaker basket or magnet. 4. Where will the ampli er be installed? Consider both the length of your leads, and routing when determining the mounting location. It is best to run power and RCA wiring on opposite sides of the vehicle to prevent induced noise. Pre-amp input jacks require a length of high quality shielded male to male RCA patch cord. CONNECTINGTHE POWER CAUTION AS A PRECAUTION, DISCONNECTTHE POWER WIRE FROM THE BATTERY WHILE MAKING THE POWER AND GROUND CONNECTIONS TO THE AMPLIFIER. 4/8 GAUGE (Thicker if planning for additional Ampli ers) wire is recommended for both the power and ground wires 12 Gauge, for the remote turn-on wire 16 Gauge. Both types are available at most Mobile Audio Dealers or Installation Shop. www.Lanzar.com 3
