Power Series Amplifiers Installation Manual / Quick Start Guide Installation Assistance
Power Terminal (+12V) and Ground Terminal (Gnd)
For installation assistance, call 888-921-4088 during normal business hours, or visit www.jensenmobile.com at any time.
Connect the main power wire to the battery, within 18 inches from the positive (+) battery post, use an adequate size fuse or circuit breaker capable of handling the current of the selected power wire. A fuse or circuit breaker must be installed to prevent a possible electrical fire should the main power wire short to ground.
Supplies and Tools To install the amplifier, you will need tools, supplies and adapters. It is best to make sure you have everything you need before you start.
POWER INPUT
Disconnect Battery
GND
Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before starting the installation. Check the battery ground (there should be two (2) ground wires coming from the battery – one going to the starter mounting bolt or engine block and another going to the vehicle chassis) and make sure the battery is grounded to the chassis with at least a #8 gauge wire. Also check the alternator connections, making sure they are tight and free from corrosion, rust or dirt.

Fuse or Circuit Breaker
Install as close to the battery as possible.
Location and Mounting The amplifier’s compact design allows great flexibility in mounting. Common mounting locations include under the front passenger seat or in the trunk area. When selecting a location, remember that amplifiers generate heat. Select a location on a flat surface away from heat and moisture where air can circulate around the amplifier.

Make the ground lead as short as possible, leaving enough length to complete the installation. To ensure a good ground, scrape away any paint or undercoating to expose bare metal. Use a "ring" terminal of the proper gauge and an "outside star washer" (between the chassis and ring terminal) when making your ground connection. POWER INPUT +12V DrillGND hole REM in chassis
