b Fuse
j Bass-Boost Control
• Replace only with the same type and rating.
• Provides 6dB of boost at 50Hz. Set the Bass-
Boost control according to your preference, being
careful not to apply enough boost to damage the
speaker(s).
c poWer Input ConneCtors
• +12V: Connect to the positive terminal of the
vehicle’s battery. 10 AWG wire is recommended.
Install an appropriate fuse holder and fuse (15A
minimum) within 18" (460mm) of the battery. Make
sure the wire is not damaged or pinched during
installation. Install protective grommets when
routing wires through the firewall or other sheet
metal.
k settIng the Input level
a Turn Input-Level control counterclockwise to 6V
(minimum).
b With a dynamic music track playing, turn the
head unit’s volume control to the 3/4 position.
c Turn Input-Level control clockwise until the
music is so loud that it no longer sounds clear
(distortion is present in the output).
• GND: Connect to the vehicle’s chassis. Refer to
the picture below.
