This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your new amplifier.
Pre-planning your system layout and best wiring routes will save installation time.When deciding on the
layout of your new system, be sure that each component will be easily accessible for making adjustments.
CAUTION:If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it installed by a
qualified technician.
CAUTION:Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent
damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.
Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:
1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install the unit.
2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation.
3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting your unit in place.
4. Route all of the RCA cables close together and away from any high current wires.
5. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.
6. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines,
vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.
7. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle provides the best
protection.
8. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any
wires routed through metal, especially the firewall.
9. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with proper fusing. Install the
appropriate fuse holder and fuse on the +12V power wire within 18" (45.7 cm) of the battery
terminal.
10. When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint from the metal to ensure a good, clean
ground connection. Grounding connections should be as short as possible and always be connected to
metal that is welded to the main body, or chassis, of the vehicle.
12. REM Terminal – The heavy duty, nickel-plated captive c-clamp wire connector will accept wire sizes
from 12 AWG to 24 AWG.This terminal is used to remotely turn-on and turn-off the amplifier when
+12V DC is applied.
13. Power Terminals – The power and ground are nickel-plated captive c-clamp wire connectors and will
accommodate up to 4 AWG wire.
14. Infrasonic Filter (P500-1bd/P700-1bd/P1000-1bd) – A 28Hz High Pass filter designed to prevent
frequencies below the audio range from being applied to the subwoofer from the amplifier. Consequently
improving subwoofer performance and power handling, particularly in vented enclosures.
15. RCA Pass-Thru Jacks (P500-1bd/P700-1bd/P1000-1bd) – This Pass-Thru provides a convenient
source for daisy-chaining an additional amplifier without running an extra set of RCA cables from the
front of the vehicle to the rear amplifier location.
