CAUTION Many new and factory radios require a reset code when disconnected from battery power. This is an anti-theft feature. Before unplugging power, you must determine if your radio/source unit requires a reset code. Check the operation manual for your vehicle or contact the dealer.

Connections
The chassis ground connection is critical to the performance of the amplifier. Choose a location that is close to the amplifier. Completely scrape away the paint and use a nut and bolt if possible. DO NOT USE AN EXISTING FACTORY BOLT!
It is critical to use the proper power and ground cable. Select the size listed here for your amplifier model. Always use high quality copper cable. Visit our website for multi amp system cable recommendations. Be sure to use the proper fuse size for each model. Some models require an external fuse.
