TOOLS/PARTS FOR INSTALLATION
NOTE: TOOLS ARE NOT SUPPLIED
Small flat blade screwdriver phillips screwdriver (#2 or medium sized),
Wire cutters, Wire strippers, - #6 round head screws, and 1 - #8 sheet metal
screw (or nut, bolt flat washer, start washer) (see detail) 2 Ring connectors
(large enough to accommodate your method of grounding) In-line fuse or
Grommets (Sized to work with the power wire you plan to use in your
installation) Tube of silicone seal.
Protection Circuitry
The amplifier protection circuitry will disable the amplifier if the inputs are
overloaded, short-circuited or extremely high temperature conditions are detected.
When the protection mode is in operation, the LED indicator on the front panel will
be illuminated , indicating the amplifier has gone into a self-preservation mode.
If you observe that the protection LED is lit, please check the system carefully to
determine what has caused the protection circuit to engage. The amplifier can be
reset by turning the remote power off and then on again. If the amplifier shuts down
due to a thermal overload condition, please allow it to cool down before powering
up. If the amplifier shuts down because of an input overload or short circuit, be sure
to repair these conditions before attempting to power up the amplifier again.

Electrical Wiring
All RUBICON Amplifiers are equipped with easy top access screw terminals .
These terminals are nickel-plated in order to ensure excellent electrical contact
and to resist corrosion.
When making electrical connections to the amplifier, please observe the following :
Use at least 4 gauge or heavier wire for power and ground connections.
Wire the amplifier directly to the car battery. Make sure there is circuit protection
(Such as a fuse) on the positive power lead, within 18 inches of the 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 head unit.
In some cases this may be the power antenna lead of the head unit.
Remote Subwoofer Level Control
The RUBICON Amplifiers are equipped with a dashboard mount remote
subwoofer level control. Run the supplied dashboard remote control from the
front panel of your amplifier. By turning the level knob clockwise, you will
increase the output of low frequencies.
Fuses
Fuses protect both the amplifier and the electrical system of your vehicle from faulty
conditions . If you must replace the fuse in your RUBICON Amplifier, use a
fuse of exactly the same type and rating. A different type or rating may resuit in
damage or cause a fire.
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 the 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: Before beginning your installation, be sure to take note of any wires, lines or
other devices in your vehicle which may be located behind any mounting surface.

Short Circuit Protection engaged: The amplifier will turn off and try to come back on
immediately. The amplifier will cycle like this indefinitely, with “blips” of sound each time
If this is the case, check your speakers and wiring for low impedance and short circuits.
Thermal Protection engaged: The amplifier will turn off and several minutes later will come
back on. In this case, ensure that there is nothing blocking the normal convective airflow of
the amplifier. No obstruction n should be within 2.4” of the amplifier on all sides.
NOTE: Low battery voltage will cause the amplifier to run warmer and possibly
damage the amplifier.

Caution:
Please do not plug in or unplug RCA
Plugs to the amplifier inputs while
the amplifier is turned on. Doing
so is potentially harmful to the amplifier
by allowing RF(radio frequencies)
into the amplifier, causing
instability, during the brief period while
the RCA shield is not connected, and the
hot is connected. Only plug in or unplug
RCA plugs with the amplifier off as
Standard practice with all audio equipment.
