PREPARATION
SUPPLIED HARDWARE
Your amplifier comes with the following items. Be sure you locate everything shown
before you store or dispose of the packing materials.
(illustration - show all amplifier parts, wires, and hardware)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE INSTALLATION
Before you install your amplifier, read all the instructions in this owner’s manual.
And, you should be able to answer all of these questions about your vehicle’s elec-
trical and autosound systems.
• Does my vehicle have an autosound system, such as a car stereo or CD
player, already installed? (You must have an existing autosound system to use
this amplifier.)
• How do I connect a wire to the fuse box?
• Which of the autosound system’s wires is the power wire?
• Which of the autosound system’s terminals are low-level outputs and which are
high-level (speaker) outputs?
Also, be aware that installation in your vehicle might require cutting or modifying
your vehicle.

Choosing a Mounting
Location
Routing Cables and Wires
Avoid routing the connection cables
and any speaker wires near moving
parts or sharp edges. You can usually
route wires and cables along the wiring
channel beneath the vehicle’s door fac-
ings by carefully removing the molding
that holds the carpet in place. After
routing the cables and wires, replace
the molding.
A good location for mounting the am-
plifier is in your vehicle’s trunk. Wher-
ever you decide to mount it, choose a
location that:
• Does not interfere with the vehi-
cle’s operation
• Lets you drill mounting holes with-
out damaging other vehicle com-
ponents
INSTALLATION ORDER
• Allows enough space around the
cooling fins for proper airflow and
cooling
For trouble-free installation, simply fol-
low the sections in this Owner’s Manu-
al in order. First, temporarily connect
the amplifier to:
• Lets you easily see the amplifier’s
POWER and PROTECTION indi-
cators

Then test the connections. When you
verify that everything works as expect-
ed, disconnect the amplifier, mount it in
your vehicle, and reconnect it.
Preparing the Mounting Area
Before you mount the amplifier, make
sure you have all the materials you
need, such as an adapter harness,
additional wire, shielded audio cables,
and 16- or 18-gauge marked or color-
coded wires.
Caution: If you do not make the con-
nections in the order shown, damage
to the amplifier and your autosound
system is possible if any wire connec-
tions are made incorrectly.
Then confirm that the amplifier fits in
your vehicle’s available mounting ar-
ea. This amplifier requires a 21/16-inch
high by 10-inch wide by 121/8-inch deep
(5.2 ¥ 25.4 ¥ 30.8 cm) mounting area
with adequate ventilation space.
Note: For easier installation, mark
each wire you plan to connect with the
name of the terminal you will connect
it to.

12-2015.fm Page 6 Tuesday, July 13, 1999 3:47 PM
Cautions:
BEFORE YOU MAKE THE
CONNECTIONS
• For added safety and to protect
your amplifier and autosound sys-
tem, disconnect the cable from
your vehicle’s negative (–) battery
terminal before you begin.
The supplied connection cables in-
clude all the lead wires you need to
connect the amplifier to ground, power,
and your existing autosound system.
Important:
• Do not cut these wires. If you cut
any wire, you cannot obtain a
refund or exchange on this prod-
uct. However, RadioShack will
provide warranty service if you cut
a wire and find the product is
defective.
• Be sure your front speakers can
handle as much as 20 watts per
channel and your rear speakers
as much as 55 watts per channel
of power. Each speaker must
have an impedance of at least 4
ohms. Your local RadioShack
store carries a full line of speak-
ers.
• If the connectors on your vehicle’s
autosound system are not com-
patible with the amplifier’s con-
nectors, you might need an
adapter harness to complete the
connections. RadioShack stores
sell adapter harnesses for most
vehicles.
To make it easier to gauge wire length
and connect the amplifier, temporarily
place the amplifier as close as possible
to the selected mounting location.
You might need additional wire, de-
pending on your individual autosound
system, to complete the connections.
Your local RadioShack store carries a
full line of wire and wire management
accessories.

plifier to ground, switched power, and
primary power.
2. Use a screwdriver to connect the
spade end of the supplied black
ground wire to the amplifier’s GND
(ground) terminal.
1. If you have not done so already,
disconnect the cable from your
vehicle’s negative (–) battery ter-
minal.
3. Connect the black ground wire’s
other end to a chassis ground,
such as a metal bolt attached to a
metal part of the vehicle’s frame.
Be sure the bolt is not insulated
from the chassis by a plastic part.
4. Use a screwdriver to connect the
spade end of the supplied blue/
white wire to the amplifier’s REM
(remote power) terminal.
7
12-2015.fm Page 8 Tuesday, July 13, 1999 3:47 PM
5. Connect the blue/white wire’s
other end to your autosound sys-
tem’s switched power lead using
one of the supplied twist-on termi-
nal connectors.
6. Use a screwdriver to connect the
spade end of the supplied red
power cable (with in-line fuse
holder) to the amplifier’s + 12V ter-
minal.
7. Connect the other end of the red
power cable to your vehicle’s pos-
itive (+) battery terminal as shown.
Then tighten the terminal.

12-2015.fm Page 11 Tuesday, July 13, 1999 3:47 PM
Note: A floating ground connection
lets the amplifier provide more power
to each speaker, but requires that you
connect a separate wire to each
speaker terminal. A common ground
connection lets you use fewer wires to
connect the speakers to the amplifier,
but reduces the amount of power sup-
plied to the speakers from the amplifier.
HIGH-LEVEL (SPEAKER

approximate locations, run one
wire from each speaker to the
amplifier.
CONNECTING
SPEAKERS
You can connect two or four speakers
to the amplifier and your autosound
system.
If you are connecting a subwoofer,
run two wires from each of the
subwoofer’s terminals to the
amplifier.
Preparing the Speaker Wires
2. Separate each wire’s two conduc-
tors at both ends for a length of
about 4 inches.
Caution: You must connect a sepa-
rate wire to each speaker terminal as
described in the following procedures.
Only use a common ground wire or
chassis ground if your autosound sys-
tem is wired for it.
3. Strip the insulation from the ends
1
of each conductor to expose /4
inch of wire. Twist the ends to
secure loose strands.
Notes:
Wire Strands
• We recommend you use 16- or 18-
gauge marked or color-coded
wires to help you correctly connect
the speakers to your amplifier.
Conductors
• Color-coded wires have a stripe
running down one of the conduc-
tors or different colored insulation
for each conductor. Your local
RadioShack store has a wide
selection of speaker wire to
choose from.
• For the maximum bass response
and the best overall performance,
keep your speakers properly
phased (connect + to + and – to –).

Page 18). Then turn on your vehicle’s
ignition and autosound system to con-
firm that the amplifier and autosound
system operate properly. The amplifi-
er turns on after a few seconds.
2. To make mounting more conve-
nient, temporarily disconnect the
amplifier’s connections (ground,
primary power, remote power,
your autosound system’s input,
and speakers).
If you cannot quickly confirm whether
the autosound system and amplifier
are working properly, turn off your
vehicle’s ignition and disconnect
the cable from your vehicle’s nega-
tive (–) battery terminal. Then re-
check your connections.
Note: If you have not already
done so, be sure to mark each
wire with the name of the terminal
you will reconnect it to.
3. Using the mounting holes on the
amplifier as a guide, mark the
positions for the mounting holes.
After you test the autosound system
and amplifier and verify that every-
thing is properly connected and work-
ing, follow the instructions in

2. Turn the autosound system’s vol-
ume control to about one-third of
its full range.
(illustration)
3. Adjust both LEVEL (MIN/MAX) con-
trols to a comfortable listening
level.
4. Turn up the autosound system’s
volume control until the sound
begins to distort. Then immedi-
ately turn the volume down to a
point just before where the distor-
tion began.
Important: Your amplifier requires 25
amps or more of power from your vehi-
cle’s battery during operation. To pro-
tect your battery from discharging, do
not operate the amplifier unless your
vehicle is running.
Caution: Never turn up the auto-
sound system’s volume control
more than needed to adjust the
audio level, or more than two-
thirds of its maximum volume.
Note: Your amplifier temporarily shuts
down if it gets too hot, then restarts au-
tomatically once it cools.
5. Adjust both LEVEL (MIN/MAX) con-
trols until the sound is at the maxi-
mum level you want the amplifier
to produce.
ADJUSTING THE AUDIO
LEVEL
For the best performance, you must
set LEVEL (MIN/MAX) on the end of the
amplifier to adjust the level of the audio
signals that enter the amplifier.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Optimus XL-150 High Power 4-Channel Stereo Amplifier is an example of su-
perior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for
your amplifier so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the amplifier dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Keep the amplifier away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema-
ture wear of parts.
Handle the amplifier gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-
cuit boards and cases and can cause the amplifier to work improper-
ly.
Wipe the amplifier with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-
gents to clean the amplifier.
Modifying or tampering with the amplifier’s internal components can cause a mal-
function and might invalidate your amplifier’s warranty and void your FCC authoriza-
tion to operate it. If your amplifier is not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
Your amplifier might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating prop-
erly. To determine whether your amplifier is causing the interference, turn off your
amplifier. If the interference goes away, your amplifier is causing it. Try to eliminate
the interference by:
• Moving your amplifier away from the receiver
• Contacting your local RadioShack store for help

12-2015.fm Page 23 Tuesday, July 13, 1999 3:47 PM
2. Push together and twist the fuse
holder’s parts on the red power
cable until they spring apart. Then
remove the fuse.
REPLACING A FUSE
If the amplifier does not operate, you
might need to replace the red power
cable’s 25-amp SFE-type fuse or the
25-amp blade-type fuse on the amplifi-
er’s back panel. Check both fuses.
(illus - show fuse holder)
Important: Let the amplifier cool
down and see if it starts again before
you assume a fuse needs to be re-
placed.
3. If the fuse is blown, replace it. Use
only an SFE-type fuse with the
proper rating (available at many
automotive supply stores). The
fuse must be 25 amps.
Caution: Do not use a fuse with rat-
ings other than those specified here.
Doing so might damage your amplifi-
er.
4. Reassemble the fuse holder by
inserting the fuse into the longer
of the fuse holder’s ends, and
pushing together and twisting the
two parts until they latch.
Replacing the SFE-Type Fuse
1. Disconnect the cable from the
vehicle’s negative (–) battery ter-
minal.
5. Reconnect the cable to the vehi-
cle’s negative (–) battery terminal.
23
12-2015.fm Page 24 Tuesday, July 13, 1999 3:47 PM
3. If the fuse is blown, replace it. Use
only a blade-type fuse with the
proper rating (such as Cat. No.
270-1084). The fuse must be 25
amps.
Replacing the Blade-Type
Fuse
1. Disconnect the cable from the
vehicle’s negative (–) battery ter-
minal.
4. Grasp the fuse’s plastic end and
push it in.
