Connecting the Unit Using the Speaker Input Connect the car stereo speaker output wires to the amplifier using the supplied speaker input wire with RCA pin cord. • Slide the input switch to the right. • For four-channel input, connect two speaker input wires with RCA pin cord to RCA input jack A and B. Be sure to slide the input select switch to the right. • For two-channel input, connect the speaker input wire with RCA pin cord to RCA input jack A. Do not connect anything to RCA input jack B. Be sure to slide the input select switch to the left. 7 Connections when using the speaker input Car stereo Speaker output White: Black: Black: Red: Left + Left ≠ Right ≠ Right + To RCA input jack of this unit. Speaker input wire with RCA pin cord • As a result of connecting the car stereo speaker output wire to the amplifier, the power of the amplifier is turned on automatically when the car stereo is turned on. It is not necessary to connect the system remote control wire in this case. Note: • Connect the system remote control wire when the power of the amplifier is not to be turned on when the car stereo is turned on. Connecting the Speakers and Input Wires The speaker output mode can be fourchannel, three-channel (stereo + mono) or two-channel (stereo, mono). Connect the speaker leads to suit the mode according to the figures shown below. • In the case of four-channel or three- channel mode, if only one input plug is used, such as when the car stereo has only one output (RCA output), connect the plug to RCA input jack A, but do not connect a plug to RCA input jack B. • In the case of two-channel mode connect RCA plugs to the RCA input jack A.

Protect all cables and important equipment such as fuel lines, brake lines and electrical wiring from damage. • Install tapping screws in such a way that the screw tip does not touch any wire. This is important to prevent wires from being cut by vibration of the car, which can result in fire. • DO NOT allow amplifier to come into contact with liquids due to, for example, the location where the amplifier is installed. Electrical shock could result. Also, amplifier and speaker damage, smoke, and overheating could result from contact with liquids. In addition, the amplifier surface and the surface of any attached speakers could become hot to the touch and minor burns could result. • To ensure proper installation, use the supplied parts in the manner specified. If any parts other than the supplied ones are used, they may damage internal parts of the amplifier, or they may become loose causing the amplifier to shut down. • Never replace the fuse with one of greater value or rating than the original fuse. Use of an improper fuse could result in overheating and smoke and could cause damage to the product and injury including burns. CAUTION: To prevent malfunction and/or injury • To ensure proper heat dissipation of the amplifier, be sure of the following during installation. -Allow adequate space above the amplifier for proper ventilation. -Do not cover the amplifier with a floor mat or carpet. • DO NOT allow amplifier to come into contact with liquids due to, for example, the location where the amplifier is installed. Electrical shock could result. Also, amplifier and speaker damage, smoke, and overheating could result from contact with liquids. In addition, the amplifier surface and the surface of any attached speakers could become hot to the touch and minor burns could result. • Do not install the amplifier on unstable places such as the spare tire board. • The best location for installation differs with the car model and installation location. Secure the amplifier at a sufficiently rigid location. • Make temporary connections first and check that the amplifier and the system operate properly. • After installing the amplifier, confirm that the spare tire, jack and tools can be easily removed. Example of installation on the floor mat or on the chassis 1. Place the amplifier where it is to be installed. Insert the supplied tapping screws (4 × 18 mm) into the screw holes. Push on the screws with a screwdriver so they make marks where the installation holes are to be located. 2. Drill 2.5 mm (1/8 inch) diameter holes at the point marked, and install the amplifier, either on the carpet or directly to the chassis. Replacing the terminal cover 1. Align the unit and terminal cover, and insert the screw. 2. Tighten the screw with a 4 mm or 5/32 inch hexagonal wrench.
