1. Connectawire(minimum10AWG–5.3mm2)
directlytothebattery’spositive(+)terminal.
2. Installafuseholderfora50Afuse(GX-A604,

wirewithin18"(46cm)ofthebattery’s(+)
terminal. Do not install the fuse in the holder
at this time.
3. Route this wire to the amplifier’s location and
connectittotheamplifier’s+12Vterminal.
Be sure to use appropriate grommets
whenever routing wires through the firewall
or other sheet metal. IMPORTANT: Failure
to adequately protect the positive wire from
potential damage may result in a vehicle fire.
4. Whenyouarefinishedroutingandconnecting
