Mounting instructions
•As a precaution, it is recommended to disconnect the vehicles battery before mounting the amplifier.
Note: For new vehicles, disconnecting the battery might cause various errors in your vehicle´s electric
system that can be cleared only by authorized service partners of your vehicle´s manufacturer! Please
ask your service partner first before disconnecting the battery!
•The power supply wire (+12 V) has to be protected within max. 20 cm / 8” by a main fuse holder with
a fuse value matching the recommendation for your amplifier
Note: If there is more than one amplifier connected using this power wire, the main fuse value must be
equal to the sum of the recommended fuses of all connected devices. However, make sure the
diameter of your power wire will be enough for the required current!
•If necessary, replace a defective fuse by a fuse with identical quality and value
•Never drill holes to the vehicle´s gas tank, brake lines, to wirings or any other important vehicle parts!
•Never pass wires over sharp edges or vehicle parts due avoid any kind of damage
•Keep the wiring away from the antenna and electronic devices contributing to radio reception
•Lay the power supply wiring always separated from speaker wiring to avoid disturbance
•The amplifier contains a temperature protection circuit that turns the device off in case of overheating.
After a certain cooling time, it will turn on automatically. To avoid heat build-up, enough air supply for
cooling must be provided. Never cover the surface of the amplifier´s heatsink entirely
•The amplifier should NEVER be mounted onto a vibrating part or surface such as a subwoofer
enclosure. This might lead to malfunction due to loosened electrical parts inside the amplifier.
•Some amplifiers offer a high-level input option, however if a pre-amplified output (RCA) is available (at
the head unit), it is strongly recommended to make use of it.

(*not required in high-level input mode)
GND To be connected to the vehicle´s ground
(or directly to the negative terminal of the battery)
2
Fuse(s)
If necessary to replace a defective fuse, it´s strongly recommended to
use a fuse with identical value
3
Speaker terminal
To connect the speaker wires / min 1ohm load
4
Sensitivity control
Controller to adjust the input sensitivity
5
Line input (RCA)
Input sockets to connect RCA wires
Important note: High-level and RCA inputs should
never
be used
simultaneously! This may cause serious damage to the amplifier
6
High-level input
Head units without RCA pre-amplifier output signal can be connected
using the high-level input to connect the speaker output of the head
unit directly.
If used, the amplifier turns on automatically (auto-on feature)
The remote input of the power supply terminal remains unused
Important note: High-level and RCA inputs should
never
be used
simultaneously! This may cause serious damage to the amplifier
7
Phase shift control
To adjust the phase of the speaker (0° to 180°)
8
Low pass filter
To adjust the required crossover point. Frequencies above the selected
crossover point will be filtered (40 Hz to 250 Hz)
9
Subsonic filter
To adjust the required crossover point. Frequencies below the selected
crossover point will be filtered (10 Hz to 40 Hz)
10

Trouble shooting guide
Listening to music can be emotional, impressive, relaxing or enjoyable. At that, it doesn´t really
matter what kind of music is the personal favorite, whether it´s Instrumental, Jazz, Electro, Latin,
Classic, Rock or any other music direction. However, audio reproduction quality at each desired
volume is elementary. Some music styles require higher levels while others prefer the soft tones.
.
GROUND ZERO considers all the different wishes of customers during the development of new
products. Along with this, the target is to create the most realistic sound, to transfer the soul of the
music and the intention of the performer. Summarized to one phrase: RESPECT THE MUSIC!
