CONNECTIONS

o

D3

amplifiers

need

proper

power

and

ground

connections

to

deliver

maximum

performance

and

efficiency.

Your

new

amplifier

has

a

regulated

power

supply.

It

is

designed

to

make

full

power

even

if

the

voltage

changes.

It

will

draw

more

current

at

lower

voltages

to

make

that

power.

Try

to

ground

your

system

to

a

single

point

in

the

vehicle.

The

gauge

of

the

power

and

ground

cables

must

be

capable

of

handling

the

current

needed

by

the

entire

system.

Power

and

ground

cables

must

be

of

the

same

gauge.

If

the

alternator

is

not

capable

of

supplying

enough

power

for

both

the

vehicle

AND

the

audio

system,

a

high

output

alternator

should

be

installed

for

best

performance.

Power

&

Ground

(12VDC)

D3

amplifiers

are

designed

to

accept

up

to

4

gauge

power

and

ground

spade

terminals,

in

some

systems

this

may

be

overkill,

but

bigger

is

always

better

when

it

comes

to

power

and

ground

connections.

Strip

approximately

1/4

inch

of

insulation

from

the

end

of

the

power/ground

cable

going

to

the

amplifier.

Crimp

the

proper

spade

terminal

onto

the

power/ground

cable,

insert

the

terminal

into

the

power

block

on

the

end

of

the

amplifier

and

tighten

the

screw.

Repeat

for

each

amplifier

installed.

Turn-on

(REM)

Locate

the

terminal

labeled

“REM”

on

the

end

of

the

amplifier.

Your

source

unit

should

have

a

wire

in

its

harness

labeled

“REMOTE”

or

“AMP

TURN-ON.”

Run

this

wire

from

your

source

unit

to

the

amplifiers

REM

connection.

Strip

approximately

1/2

inch

of

insulation

from

the

wire,

crimp

a

12

gauge

spade

terminal

onto

the

wire,

insert

the

terminal

into

the

power

block

on

the

end

of

the

amplifier

and

tighten

the

screw.
