Connecting the TC-series amplifier

Page 12 highlights

Connecting the TC-series amplifier This section is divided into four separate parts: 1. General information 2. Power connections 3. Audio input connections (from the head unit to the amplifier) 4. Speaker output connections (from the amplifier to the speakers) Please be sure you read all four parts to ensure that your amplifier is connected properly. General information Connection tips: DISCONNECT THE BATTERY'S NEGATIVE (-) TERMINAL BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR INSTALLATION, AND DO NOT RECONNECT IT UNTIL YOU ARE COMPLETELY FINISHED! Do not connect the main positive lead (B+) from the amplifier to the battery until after all other connections have been made. Use the proper gauge of wire: I0 gauge or larger from the amplifier to the battery, and 18 gauge or larger from the amplifier to the speakers. If you choose to use crimp-type connectors in your system, use high-quality connectors of the proper size, and crimp them correctly to ensure optimum electrical contact. Be sure to solder any splices in your wire, and seal the splice with heat-shrink tubing or electrical tape.
