INSTALLATION  
POWER CONNECTIONS  
The CS amplifiers require a reliable  
connection to the vehicle’s electrical  
system in order to perform optimally.  
See Figures 1, 2 and 3 for terminal  
connection locations. Please adhere  
to the following instructions carefully:  
Power Connection  
Remote Connection  
Wire Gauge Chart  
Connect a wire (see chart at right for  
appropriate gauge) directly to the vehicle’s  
positive battery terminal, and install an  
appropriate fuse holder within 18" of the  
battery terminal. Do not install the fuse at  
this time. Route the wire to the amplifier’s  
location, and connect it to the amplifier’s  
Positive (+12V) terminal. Be sure to use  
appropriate grommets whenever routing  
wires through the firewall or other sheet  
metal. Failure to adequately protect the  
positive wire from potential damage may  
result in a vehicle fire. When you are done  
routing and connecting this wire, you may  
install the fuse at the battery.  
Connect the amplifier’s Remote (REM)  
terminal to the source unit’s Remote Turn-  
On lead using a minimum of 18-gauge wire.

NOTE: If your source unit does not have a  
remote turn-on connection, connect the  
amplifier’s (REM) terminal to the vehicle’s  
accessory circuit.  
These recommendations assume 10' – 12'  
wire runs. If your installation differs mark-  
edly, you will need to adjust the wire gauge  
accordingly.  
Ground Connection  
Connect the amplifier’s Ground (GND)  
terminal to a solid point on the vehicle’s  
metal chassis, as close to the amplifier  
as possible. Refer to the wire gauge chart to  
determine minimum wire gauge size. Sand  
away any paint from this location; use a star-  
type-lock washer to secure the connection.  
Speaker Connections  
Refer to the application guides on the  
pages that follow. Speaker connections  
should be made using a minimum of  
16-gauge wire.

APPLICATIONS – CS300.1  
The CS subwoofer amplifier is a  
single-channel amplifier. There are  
two sets of terminals to make it easy  
to connect multiple woofers. Either  
set of (+/–) terminals may be used  
when connecting woofers.  
Figure 4. CS subwoofer amplifier  
with two woofers connected.  
To the right are two application  
diagrams to help plan your subwoofer  
system installation. Figures 4 and 5  
show how to configure the CS300.1  
subwoofer amplifier.  
NOTE: For simplicity, Figures 4 and 5  
do not show power, remote and input  
connections.  
NOTE: Minimum speaker load is  
2 ohms total.

APPLICATIONS – CS60.4  
The CS60.4 can be set up for stereo  
4-channel, 3-channel or bridged  
2-channel operation, as shown in  
Figures 6 through 8.

NOTE: Minimum speaker impedance  
for stereo operation is 2 ohms.  
Minimum speaker impedance for  
bridged operation is 4 ohms.

Determine your system plans and set  
the crossover mode switch accordingly.  
If your system design does not include  
a subwoofer with the CS60.4, set the  
crossover mode to FLAT and skip to  
“Setting Input Sensitivity.”  
1. Initially turn the INPUT LEVEL control(s)  
to minimum (counter clockwise).  
2. Reconnect the (–) negative lead to the  
vehicle’s battery. Apply power to the  
audio system and play a dynamic music  
track.  
3. On the source unit, increase the volume  
control to 3/4 volume. Slowly increase  
the INPUT LEVEL control(s) toward three  
o’clock until you hear slight distortion  
in the music. Then reduce the INPUT  
LEVEL slightly until distortion is no  
longer heard.  
No audio  
(POWER  
LEDs are on)  
Make sure amplifier  
cooling is not blocked  
at mounting location;  
verify speaker-system  
impedance is within  
specified limits  
Initially set the crossover frequency  
control midway. While listening to music,  
adjust the crossover for the least  
perceived distortion from the speakers,  
allowing them to reproduce as much  
bass as possible.

Systems using a separate subwoofer set  
the crossover mode to HP (high pass) for  
your full-range speakers. Adjust the  
crossover frequency to limit bass and  
provide increased system volume with  
less distortion.  
NOTE: After the source unit is on, blue  
LEDs (on the top panel) will light, indicating  
the amplifier is on. If not, check the wiring,  
especially the remote connection from the  
source unit. Also refer to “Troubleshooting”  
guide at right.
