Power Wire Specifications:
Red Wire and Blue Wire -
Connect these two wires to a +12V power supply.
Black Wire -
Connect this wire to the negative or other good power ground.
Notes:
Use the included plug/wire bundle to connect to the power source and
speakers.
The Red, Blue and Black power wires should be 16AWG or larger
depending on the length to the power supply.
NEVER
operate the unit
without the proper power and ground wire.
NEVER
ground the speaker leads and
NEVER
allow the speaker leads to
come in contact with each other. The speaker wire should be at least 20
gauge or larger. Be sure to observe the correct polarity on the speaker
connections
Use quality crimp connectors to connect wires together. Seal the
connection well with electrical tape.
NEVER
operate the unit without proper fusing. Fuse holder must be
located within 2 feet from the power supply. This fuse is to protect the
vessel, not the electronics. In case of a short, the fuse will blow instead of
the wire burning up. Using other than the recommended fuse ratings at
the power supply and at the unit may cause damage to the unit and will
void your warranty.
Whenever possible, use cable ties, mounting clamps and similar wiring
aids. Adding stress relief loop to wiring is also advisable to prevent
straining or breakage.
If after reading the directions you feel uncomfortable about installing the
unit, or not equipped or competent to do so, you should have this installed
by a professional installer
Connect the white and grey loudspeaker wires to 1 or 2 pairs of
loudspeakers. Pay close attention to polarity (black stripe = negative)
Connect the green and purple loudspeaker wires to 1 or 2 pairs of
loudspeakers or to a subwoofer if the low pass filter switch is depressed
