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.
