3.3.2 – 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 a perfect connection between the amplifier and the chassis of the vehicle. The
cable and wire gauge must comply with the table in section 3.1. Find a suitable grounding point, then sand it to re-
move any traces of paint or other coating to maximising the quality of the contact point. Drill a hole in the metal that
you have previously sanded, making a hole the same diameter as the screw you are using, making sure that there are
no fuel lines, cables or any other sensitive vehicle devices nearby. Crimp the black Y-type spade terminal supplied to
the end of the cable. Screw the black Y-type spade terminal firmly to the GND terminal on your FD amplifier (fig. 2).
Tin the other end of the cable and then crimp or solder it onto the intended spade terminal. Insert the screw through
the spade terminal, then put the screw and the nut in place and screw tight. (fig. 2)

3.4 – Connecting the input signals to your FD amplifier
You can now start the connection phase of the input/output cables.
3.4.1 – Your head unit is equipped with RCA outputs (fig. 3)
Connect the RCA cables to the amplifier. Be careful to respect the polarities (INPUT Left = black or white, INPUT
Right = red). Then connect the other end of the RCA cable(s) to the appropriate RCA* outputs of the head unit (Left
and Right).
Now connect the REMOTE cable to the amplifier (REM terminal) and screw tight. Connect the other end of the
REMOTE cable to the REMOTE terminal on the head unit. Finally, connect the speaker driver cables to the amplifier.
Be careful to respect the polarities (+ with + ; - with -) by using the red and black Y-type spade terminals supplied.
