Main Power Connections

Connect BAT+, GND and REM wires accordingly. A suitable fuse MUST be installed on the 

BAT+ lead within 18" of the battery for protection of the vehicle’s electrical system.

Fuse Rating

When replacing the fuse, make sure 

new fuse is the correct type and 

amperage. Using an incorrect fuse 

could damage the amplifier. The 

TBX10A uses (1) 

15 amp

 ATO style fuse.

Power/Ground Wire Size

For optimum performance, use only 

12 gauge

 wire or larger. Make sure 

to use the same size power and 

ground wire.

Typical Wire Routing

INSTALLATION

High Level Input (Speaker Wire)

High level inputs should only be used when RCA 

outputs are not available from the head unit.

 Connect 

the head unit speaker outputs to the high level input 

connector as shown below. The black wire (signal 

reference ground) may or may not require a connection 

to chassis ground - depending on your particular 

installation. 

Do not use both low and high level inputs at 

the same time. Connect only one or the other.
