Installation Notes

The amplifier is generally mounted in the rear trunk area but can be mounted in any convenient area such as

beneath a seat. Please be sure to locate this unit where you have reasonable air circulation and protection from

moisture. When considering the mounting location you should minimize the length of the power and speaker leads.

Minimizing both leads will yield a more reliable installation. It is also important to ensure that the heat sink fins are

not against a panel or a surface, preventing air circulation. Do not install the amplifier on a subwoofer box or on

vibrating parts of the vehicle, since the vibrations can cause damage to the amplifiers electrical components.

Installation of the amplifier

Mark the location for the mounting screw holes by using

the amplifier as a template. Drill holes at the marked locations

And firmly fasten the amplifier in place with the mounting screws

supplied in the accessory kit.

Before drilling or cutting any holes, investigate the layout

Of your automobile thoroughly: Take care when working

Near the gas lines or hydraulic lines and electrical wiring.

Electrical Connection

Ground (GND)

This wire is the electrical ground and must be fastened securely to the vehicle chassis. The best

method is to use a threading sheet metal screw since the threads cut into bare metal. Ensure that all paint or other

insulation is remove from around the hole area, and using self tapping screw, securely affix the bare wire ends to the

vehicle chassis. Use as short a piece of cable as possible - use the same gauge as was used for the +12V cable. Make

sure that the connection is safe, a loose connection may result in amplifier noise and fault condition.

Remote (REM)

Many radios or other music sources have an output terminal for connection of the remote turn-on of

the power amplifier. If a radio doesn't have a remote turn-on feature, then you can use the antenna

relay wire, which activates the antenna motor. Please note, if the power antenna retracts when the

radio is operating, then you cannot use the antenna relay wire to operate the remote turn-on.

Batterie Connection (+12V Power)

This wire is usually connected directly to the positive battery terminal. Ensure that the + power supply wire is fused via an

assigned fuse in line with the + power supply wire. Please use a sufficient gauge for the installed amplifiers (min. 10 mm²

for AX 1600D or min 16 mm² for AX 2400D / AX 3200D/ AX 4000D.This connection must be completed using spade lug

with insulating sleeve.

Fuses

The integrated amplifier fuses protect the units from short circuit and overload. The fuse rating is for

4 Ohm loads (impedance) of the speakers, for 2 Ohm loads the fuses may have to get increased by up to 50% in case of

higher power consumption.
