Installation of the amplifier
The installation of this product requires technical knowledge and experience. In case you are uncertain of your
ability to correctly install the amplifier, we strongly recommend you contact your Focal retailer who will install it
for you, so that you will be able to take full advantage of all the different possibilities of the amplifier.
Wiring of the amplifier
Only use the wires recommended in this manual. The loudspeaker wire must ONLY be used for connecting the
amplifier to the loudspeakers. The section of power cables must correspond to the one detailed in the
table (page 7) and correspond to the power of the amplifier and the length of the cable. Use double or triple
shielded RCA cables to avoid any interference of the low level signal.
Duration of operation of the amplifier
Avoid using the amplifier for more than 10 minutes before starting the vehicle. This may cause the battery to
go flat.
Progressive controlled cooling system
The cooling system only works when the amplifier temperature exceeds 50°C. The rotation speed of the cooling
system depends on the amplifier temperature. You mustn't cover the amplifier as it could create overheating.
