Quick Start

Here are a few general steps to get your ACM-2.300 amplifier up and

running:

1. Undo the +12V and Ground connections to the car battery

before making any connections to the amplifier.

2. Pick a mounting location that will provide access to the controls

and connections, provide plenty of good ventilation, and also

protect the amplifier from heat, moisture, and dirt.

3. The ACM-2.300 amplifier needs to be securely mounted using

the four mounting holes located in each corner.

Before drilling any holes, take every precaution to prevent

any damage to fuel lines, power and other electrical wir-

ing, hydraulic brake lines, and other systems, that might compro-

mise vehicle safety.

5. When making connections, designate red RCA plugs as right,

and designate white, black, or grey plugs as left. This is a good

idea for consistency.

6. Use quality interconnect cables.

7. Connect the +12V input terminal of the unit to the +12V termi-

nal of the vehicle battery, using 8 to 4 AWG.

8. Connect the Ground terminal of the unit to the chassis of the

vehicle, using the same wire gauge as the +12V power wire.

9. Connect the remote power terminal of the unit to the remote

turn-on switch of your source unit. Alternatively, you can skip

this connection and use the GTO™ Signal sensing.

10. Connect your audio inputs to the unit – either speaker-level or

line-level RCA... not both.

11. Connect your loudspeakers (minimum impedance of 2 Ohms

stereo, or 4 Ohms bridged mono).

12. When all connections are made, reconnect the vehicle battery.

13. Adjust your gain setting to maximise your signal level.

14. Set the ACM-2.300 crossover to the frequency recommended by

the loudspeaker manufacturer.

15. Enjoy the drive!
