2CAUTION  
• Do not install the unit under the carpet. Otherwise heat build-up occurs and the unit may be  
damaged.  
• Install this unit in a location which allows heat to easily dissipate.  
Once installed, do not place any object on top of the unit.  
• The surface temperature of the amplifier will become hot during use. Install the amplifier in a  
place where people, resins, and other substances that are sensitive to heat will not come into  
contact with it.  
• This unit has cooling fans to decrease the internal temperature. Be careful not to block the  
cooling fan openings when installing the unit. Blocking these openings will inhibit the cooling of  
the internal temperature and result in malfunction.  
• When making a hole under a seat, inside the trunk, or somewhere else in the vehicle, check  
that there is nothing hazardous on the opposite side such as a gasoline tank, brake pipe, or  
wiring harness, and be careful not to cause scratches or other damage.  
• Do not install near the dashboard, rear tray, or air bag safety parts.  
• The installation to the vehicle should securely fasten the unit to a place in which it will not  
obstruct driving. If the unit comes off due to a shock and hits a person or safety part, it may  
cause injury or an accident.  
• After installing the unit, check to make sure that electrical equipment such as the brake lamps,  
turn signal lamps and windshield wipers operate normally.

* INFRASONIC FILTER switch  
When this switch is set to 15 Hz or 25 Hz,  
frequencies below the setting value will be  
cut. This serves to get rid of unwanted  
vibrations that do not result in sound and  
improves the speakers’ ability to reproduce  
sound. Note that the speaker output will  
automatically be set for monaural (L+R)  
sound.  
• STEREO position:  
The amplifier can be used as a stereo  
amplifier.  
• MONO (Lch) position:  
Amplifies the signal input from the left side  
only. Set to this position and make bridged  
connections to use as a high-power  
monaural amplifier. (The input right signal is

2WARNING  
To prevent fire caused by a short in the wiring, connect a fusible link or breaker nearby the battery’s  
positive terminal.  
Wiring  
• If a buzzing noise is heard from the speakers when the engine is running, connect a line noise filter  
(optional) to each of the battery cable.  
• Do not allow the cable to directly contact the edge of the iron plate by using Grommets.  
• Connect the ground cable to a metal part of the car chassis that acts as an electrical ground  
passing electricity to the battery‘s negative - terminal. Do not turn the power on if the ground  
cable is not connected.  
• Please be sure to install a protective fuse in the power cable, near the battery. Use a fuse which  
has a capacity about 10A higher than the capacity of the fuse in the unit.  
• For the power cable and the earth cable, use (flame-resistant) power wiring cables for in-car use.  
For the power cable, use a power wiring cable with a current capacity about 10A higher than the  
capacity of the protective fuse (about 20A higher than the capacity of the fuse in the unit).  
• When more than one power amplifier are going to be used, use a power supply wiring cable and  
protective fuse of greater current-handling capacity than the total maximum current drawn by each  
amplifier.

Speaker Selection  
• The rated input power of the speakers that are going to be connected should be greater than  
the maximum output power (in Watts) of the amplifier. Use of speakers having input power  
ratings that are less than the output power of the amplifier will cause smoke to be emitted as  
well as damage.  
• The impedance of the speakers that are going to be connected should be 2or greater (for  
stereo connections), or 4or greater (for bridged connections). When more than one set of  
speakers are going to be used, calculate the combined impedance of the speakers and then  
connect suitable speakers to the amplifier.

Frequency  
(mH)  
Example:  
When it is required to set a crossover frequency of 120 Hz using speakers with an  
impedance of 4 ohms.  
Prepare commercially-available coil and capacitor with the closest ratings to the results  
calculated from the formula above. The capacitor rating should be as close as possible to 331.25  
(µF) and the coil rating should be as close as possible to 5.3 (mH).  
2CAUTION  
• If you wish to bridge-connect a speaker, the speaker impedance must be no less than 4 ohms.  
Connecting a speaker with an impedance lower than 4 ohms may damage the unit.  
• Be sure to connect capacitors to speakers to which high frequencies will be passed. Failure to  
do so will result in a drop of the combined impedance with the subwoofer.  
• Ensure that the withstand voltage and current ratings of the capacitors (C) and coils (L) are  
sufficient.

Troubleshooting Guide  
What might appear to be a malfunction in your unit may just be the result of slight  
misoperation or miswiring. Before calling service, first check the following table for possible  
problems.  
PROBLEM  
POSSIBLE CAUSE  
SOLUTION  
No sound.  
(No sound from one side.)  
• Input (or output) cables are  
disconnected.  
• Connect the input (or output)  
cables.  
• Protection circuit may be  
activated.  
• Check connections by referring  
to "Indicator".  
• The fuse may be blown because • Replace the fuse with a new

The output level is too  
small (or too large).  
The input sensitivity adjusting  
control is not set to the correct  
position.  
Adjust the control correctly  
referring to “Controls”.  
The sound quality is bad.  
(The sound is distorted.)  
• The speakers cable are  
connected with wrong + / -  
polarity.  
• Connect them properly checking  
the + / - of the terminals and  
cables well.

• Cancel DEMO mode by pressing  
the OPEN/CLOSE button.  
• Check the B.M.S. and operate  
the slide panel remotely or  
manually.  
• The slide panel has gone into  
remote operation mode.  
The external amplifier
