User manual BOSS OUTLAW OL8000

[. . . ] Take special care when you work near the gas tank, fuel lines, hydraulic lines and electrical wiring. Never operate the amplifier when it is unmounted. Attach all audio system components securely to prevent damage, especially in an accident. [. . . ] Connect all line inputs and outputs (if used) using high-quality cables. Connect all speakers, following the diagrams in this manual. Be sure to observe proper polarity to avoid audio phase problems. Insert fuse(s) into the battery fuse holder(s). Recheck all connections before powering up the amplifier. Set all level controls to minimum position, and set all crossover controls/switches to the desired frequency points. Power up the head unit and the amplifier. Then set the volume control on the head unit to about 3/4 volume, and adjust the amplifier's input level control(s) to just below the level of distortion. Further fine tuning of the various controls may be necessary to obtain best results. Connecting the amplifier Before doing any wiring, look through this manual and identify the diagrams to follow for power, input and speaker connections for your particular installation. Be sure you understand all the connections before you proceed. Connect the amplifier's power ground terminal to the closest point on the chassis of the car. Keep this ground wire to less than 39" (100 cm) in length. Connect the remote terminal to the remote output of the head unit using 16 gauge (or heavier) wire. Connect an empty fuse holder within 18" (45 cm) of the car battery, and run 4 gauge (or heavier) cable from this fuse to the amplifier location. The purpose of placing a fuse in this location is to protect your vehicle's battery in the event that this wire accidentally touches the chassis ground on its run to the amplifier. OL10000 · OL8000 · OL6000 Amplifier User's Manual - page 4 Important installation considerations for using this amplifier. Your Outlaw Class D amplifier is designed to run with a minimum load of 1 Ohm. Operating any Outlaw Class D amplifier with a speaker impedance load below 1 Ohm may result in poor sound quality and damage to the amplifier circuitry. Such damage is not covered under the warranty for this product. The fuse ratings for these amps is described on the Specifications page of this manual. Although sufficient for normal working conditions, overloading the amp may result in blown fuses. [. . . ] POSSIBLE REMEDY Check to make sure you have a good ground connection. Check that the Remote Input (Turn-On) has at least 3VDC. Check that there is battery power on the (+) terminal. [. . . ]
