[. . . ] When making electrical connections t o the amplifier, please observe the following: Use at least 8 gauge or heavier wire for power and ground connections. Connect the amplifier directly to the car battery. For the ground connection, use the shortest possible wire to a good chassis ground point. Wire the Remote connection to the remote turn-on lead of your equalizer or source unit (this is sometimes also used as the power antenna lead). Fuses Power fuses protect both the amplifier and the electrical system of your vehicle from fault conditi~ns;'lf you must replace the fuse in your RIPPER amplifier, use a fuse of exactly the same type and ratingr'k , -. different type or rating of fuse may result in damage or fire. I Mounting the Amplifier Mark the location for the mounting screw holes by positioning the amplifier where you wish to install it, and use a scribe (or one of the mounting screws) inserted in each mounting hole to mark the mounting surface. If mounting surface is carpeted, measure the hole centers and mark with a felt tip pen. Drill pilot holes in the mounting surface for the mounting screws and insert the mounting screws into these holes. Tighten them securely. Note: Be sure to take note of any wires, lines or other devices in your vehicle which may be located behind any mounting surface! High Level Inputs IRemote Subwoofer Level Control If the HIGH LEVEL INPUTS are used, do not use the LOW LEVEL RCA INPUTS at the same time. The RIPPER 2-Channel amplifiers use ONE HIGH LEVEL INPUT for both channels and the RIPPER 4-Channel amplifiers use TWO of these connectors one for each pair of channels.

The RCA jacks marked "LINE OUT" will pass the signal that is present on the amplifier inputs, facilitating the connection of additional amplifiers along.

To engage the amplifier in this mode, place the Crossover (Subwoofer) switch in the "FUII' positjon. Use a 1 OOv non-polar capacitor for a high pass crossover and a wire coil inductor to block high frequencies from the subwoofer as shown in the figure below. Please review the table below for inductor and capacitor component values to determine the desired crossover frequencies. SUBWOOFER MINIMUM IMPEDANCE4-8 OHMS! [. . . ] If you are using the Low Level RCA input, reverse the input plugs at the amplifier (switch the R with the L). If the channel which is silent switches to the other side, the problem is either in the head unit/ other source or the connecting cables. Weak output Readjust the Input Level Control to better suit the input signal. Noise in the Audio If the noise is a"whine" whose pitch follows the engine speed, confirm that the amplifier and any other signal sources (head unit, etc. ) are properly grounded. [. . . ]
