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.

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.
