3.2 - Route the low-level audio cables (RCA cable), the loudspeaker cables, the REMOTE cable, as well as the
REMOTE CONTROL cable {REMOTE CONTROL only with the FPS 1500, FPS 3000, FPS 2300RX and FPS
4160 references} ensuring to isolate them from powerful automobile accessories, particularly electric motors
(windshield wiper,...). Keep the whole length of the cables, which will be adjusted later on.
3.3 - Route the positive power cables (+). Make sure when doing so to route them opposite the cables that you
have previously drawn – this is to avoid any interference. DO NOT CONNECT THE CABLE YET.
3.4 - Get hold of the negative power cable. This cable should be as short as possible and ideally should not
be any longer than 1 metre, to ensure effective coupling between the amplifier and the car's chassis. The
cable and its wire gauge should comply with the table on page 7. Find a suitable ground point, then sand it
to remove any traces of paint or other covering and in so doing optimise the contact point. Pierce the metal
that you have previously sanded, making a hole the same size as the screw you are using, making sure that
there are no tank cables or any other sensitive vehicle devices nearby. Strip 1cm of cable (pic. 3) and then tin
it. Screw the cable firmly down onto the amplifier's GND terminal. Tin the other end of it and then crimp or
weld it onto the terminal lug provided. Insert the terminal lug in the screw, and then put the screw and the nut
in place and firmly screw-drive in.(pic. 4).
