AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION WARNING
1. Ensure the 12V lead is disconnected from the battery before you connect any
new equipment.
2. Ensure the mounting location will not interfere with the gas tank, brake lines or
electrical wiring.
3. Ensure the Amplifier is securely fastened to the vehicle to prevent damage in the
event of an accident.
4. Ensure all wiring is protected to avoid pinching or crushing which could result in
damage to the audio system.

5. Ensure the mounting location has sufficient air flow around the amplifier. If the
amplifier is mounted in an enclosed space a 3” fan with ducting should be used
to aid in air flow.
6. Do not mount any amplifier on a subwoofer enclosure as extended exposure to
vibration may cause malfunction of the amplifier.
7. Ensure you use the recommended gauge wire/cable for all amplifier
connections.

Wiring
Ensure the audio system is turned off before making any connections to the amplifier,
speakers or source unit. Failure to do so could result in permanent damage to the
audio system.

When wiring the FUSION amplifier ensure that the cable is protected from sharp
objects and always use rubber grommets when wiring through metal panels. Ensure
all terminals and connections are protected from the vehicle chassis and from each
other as failure to do so could result in permanent damage to the audio system.

6. Front Input Level
FOUR CHANNEL AMPLIFIER
This control is used to match the input level of the amplifier to the output level of your source unit
1. Turn the amplifier level to zero.
2. Turn the volume of the source unit to ¾ and the bass and treble to zero.
3. Adjust the level control until the desired maximum volume is achieved without distortion.
4. Failure to follow these steps may cause permanent damage to the audio system.

This control is used to match the input level of the amplifier to the output level of your head unit
1. Turn the amplifier level to zero.
2. Turn the volume of the head unit to ¾ and the bass and treble to zero.
3. Adjust the level control until the desired maximum volume is achieved without distortion.
4. Failure to follow these steps may cause permanent damage to the audio system.
Ensure that the speakers are connected observing correct polarity.
2 Ohm minimum speaker impedance for stereo operation
4 Ohm minimum speaker impedance for bridged operation
2. Fuses
Ensure fuses are replaced with the same type and rating.
13. Power ON LED
Amplifier is operational when illuminated.
3. Power
FUSION amplifiers should be connected directly to the 12V battery terminal with an inline fuse or
circuit breaker as close to the battery as possible.
14. Protection LED
Ground
When illuminated the amplifier is in protection mode due to any of the following fault conditions.
Short Circuit, Thermal, Output Short, DC Offset.
When grounding/earthing your amplifier ensure that the location is a good source of ground
(preferably the floor pan). Make sure the metal is clean of paint etc, as a poor earth could
damage your audio system.
15. Rear Input Connectors
Remote Turn On
Choose the correct length RCA interconnects and run them to the RCA outputs of the
source unit. Avoid running beside other looms and or power cable.
This connection turns the amplifier ON and should be connected to the remote turn on lead from
the Head Unit. If one is not available a switched 12V source must be used.
