[. . . ] Marking Vehicle Put the amplifier aside and then drill the holes for the mounting screws at the before marked locations. Please ensure not to damage any components of the vehicle while drilling the holes. Alternatively (depends on the material of the surface) you can also use self-tapping screws. Vehicle Then uphold the amplifier to the chosen position and fix the screws through the mounting holes into the drilled screwholes. Ensure that the mounted amplifier is fixed tight and not get loosen while driving. BEFORE THE CONNECTION For the professional installation of a sound system appropriate wiring kits are available in car audio retailer stores. Attend the sufficient profile section (at least 16 mm2), the suitable fuse rating and the conductivity of the cables when you purchase your wiring kit. Clean and remove rust-streaked and oxidized areas on the contact points of the battery and the ground connection. Make sure that all screws are fixed tight after the installation, because loosely connections may cause malfunctions, insufficient power supply or interferences. GND Connect this GROUND terminal with a suitable contact ground point on the vehicle's chassis. The ground wire must be as short as possible and must be connected to a blank metallic point at the vehicle's chassis. Ensure that this ground point has a stable and safe electric connection to the negative "­"pole of the battery. Check this ground wire from the battery to the ground point if possible and enforce it, if required. Use a ground wire with a sufficient cross section (at least 16 mm2) and the same size like the plus (+12V) power supply wire. Automatic antenna) or the turn-on remote signal of your headunit with the REM-terminal of the amplifier. Use therefor a suitable cable with a sufficient cross section (0, 5 mm2). Thereby the amplifier will turn on or off automatically with your headunit. bATT+12V Connect the BATT+12V-terminal with the +12V pole of the vehicle's battery. Use therefor a suitable cable with a sufficient cross section (at least 16mm2) and install a additional in-line fuse. For safety reasons the distance between the fuseblock and the battery must be shorter than 30 cm. Do not install the fuse into the fuseblock until the installation is accomplished. FUSE The inserted fuses protect the amplifier from shorts and capacity overload. [. . . ] In case of replacing the fuses, attend by any means the correct fuse rating. Malfunction: no signal on loudspeakers, but power LED lights up Subsonic Controller is adjusted too high or Low Pass Controller is adjusted too low. Remedy: Turn down the level Turn down the level on the headunit Switch off loudness on the headunit Reset bass EQ on headunit or amp Malfunction: amplifier runs into protection mode (red protection LED lights up) Overloaded by insufficient power supply (too thin profile section on the power cables). Remedy: Reconnect Choose a higher impedance Use a new speaker setup Change the mounting position Ensure air circulation Use a bigger profile section The level controllers are turned up. [. . . ]
