Ground amplifier to chassis of vehicle; connect the terminal provided  
to the 10ga black wire from furnished wiring harness. A good ground is  
as important as the power connection. The ground should be as short as  
possible and the contact point should be free of paint and debris.

Plug power harness into amplifier pre-amp.  
SPEAKER WIRES  
12 In the channel on driver's and passenger's side threshold locate  
the rear speaker wires Colors are driver's side, yellow/blue (positive)  
tan/yellow (negative), and passenger's side, orange/yellow (positive),  
brown/purple (negative). Tap into wires with supplied RCA High Level  
input wires and route under carpet to the rear seat, over to pre-amp on  
enclosure.  
15 Replace 20amp fuse under hood.  
Although, MTX has made every effort to assure proper wiring colors,  
MTX is not responsible for any changes made by the vehicle manufac-  
turer which sometime occur. If wiring colors do not match then physical  
verification is required.  
16 When amp turns on, LED will display red during diagnostic mode,  
and then green, signaling amp is on and functioning. Amp will only turn  
on when radio is on.  
17 Adjust gain and crossover.  
CONNECTION TO ENCLOSURE  
Setting Gain  
13.
Connect speaker wire RCA's to the inputs of pre-amp.  
Turn gain knob on Thunderform pre-amp to minimum, counter clock-  
wise. Play a favorite tape or compact disc that contains consistent music  
and bass. Turn the source unit to maximum listening level. You should  
know that some source units will produce distortion or “clip” before the  
unit reaches maximum volume. Reduce volume to the loudest listening  
level before distortion. Turn the gain knob on the Thunderform pre-amp  
clockwise until the speaker starts to distort and reduce gain to loudest  
listening level before distortion.  
Note: Patented BTL turn on circuitry- amplifier senses DC offset provided by “high  
powered” or BTL type head units. This feature turns the amplifier on automatically  
if you are using high level inputs.  
20 Amp Fuse  
Optional- The EBC, or Electronic Bass Control, allows a remote bass  
control to be adjusted from the driver's seat.  
Setting Crossover  
You should set the crossover to your own personal listening taste. The  
crossover is adjustable to any frequency between 50Hz (counterclock-  
wise) to 150Hz (clockwise). As a guideline, the goal is to create the illu-  
sion of bass up front. The higher the crossover point the more “audibly  
visible” your sub is going to be. Take your time and really listen to your  
system, grab a soda and a few of your favorite tunes and have fun.
