• During full-power operation, a current of more than 15 A will run through the system. Therefore, make sure that the wires to be connected to the +12 V and GND terminals of this unit are at least 14-Gauge (AWG14) or have a sectional area of more than 2 mm² (3/32 in). When making the speaker parallel connection, use wires with more than 12-Gauge (AWG12) or wires that have a sectional area of more than 3.5 mm² (5/32 in). Less than 450 mm (18 in) Subwoofer direct connection You can use a subwoofer without a power amplifier when it is connected to a rear speaker lead.
