It is advisable to test the ground with an ohmmeter between the ground cable and the
negative battery cable to ensure a good low resistance connection. Some allows used
in modern cars do not offer the best ground. If you believe this is the case - first consult
with the vehicle manufacturer.
5. Run the speaker wire to the speakers. It is advised that you leave some extra
wire at this point. You can fix it later.
6. If you haven’t done so already, mount the amp now.
7. Connect the power and ground to the amplifier.
ONLY AFTER THIS STEP - SHOULD YOU INSTALL THE FUSE AT THE BATTERY.
8. Connect the remote wire from the head unit to the amplifier.
Now is a good time to turn on the amp for the first time. Make sure it turns on
properly and does not go into protection mode.
9. Connect the speaker wires to the amp and speakers (make sure the amp is
off first). Make sure the polarity (+) and (-) is correct.
10. Connect the RCA’s to the amp.
11. Double check the amplifier controls at this time. Make sure everything is set
correctly for your system.
12. Now you’re ready to play it for the first time. It is best to leave the gain all the
way down at first. Start with the head unit volume low and work your way up.
13. Now you can tune the amp. Take your time and make only one adjustment at
a time. It may take some time to get the system fully adjusted. During this time
the amp is drawing current from the battery. You should check the battery
voltage from time to time and recharge it, if it gets low. That’s it. You’re done.
Now have fun.
