Speaker Output Terminals
Connect the Speaker Output Lead (+) / (–) using
the Hexagon hole screw of the Speaker Output
Terminals ( ).
• For details on how to connect, see "Cautions
on wire lead connections" (page 7).
Be sure to observe correct speaker output
connections and polarity in relation to the other
speakers in the system. Connect the positive
output to the positive speaker terminal and the
negative to negative.
About Subwoofer Input/Output
(S-A60M/S-A55V only)
• The input is stereo but the output is monaural.
• Reversing subwoofer polarity (swapping
positive and negative connections to the
subwoofer) may be desirable in some
installations for optimum bass performance.
About Bridged Connections (S-A32F/S-A55V
only)
In the bridged mode, connect the left positive to
the positive terminal of the speaker and the
right negative to the negative terminal of the
speaker. Do not use the speaker (–) terminals as
a common lead between the left and right
channels.
NOTE:
• Do not connect the speaker (–) terminal to the
vehicle's chassis.
Fuse
S-A60M/S-A55V ................................................30 A × 2
S-A32F ........................................................................ 40 A
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN
REPLACING FUSES.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric
shock.
Power Supply Terminal
Connect the Battery Lead ( ), Remote Turn-on
Lead ( ), and Ground Lead ( ) using the
Hexagon hole screw of the Power Supply
Terminal ( ).
• For details on how to connect, see "Cautions
on wire lead connections" (page 7).
Battery Lead (sold separately)
Be sure to add an External Fuse (e.g. Fuse Block,
Circuit Breaker) with the battery lead as close as
possible to the battery's positive (+) terminal.
This fuse will protect your vehicle's electrical
system in case of a short circuit. See below for
appropriate fuse value requirement:
S-A60M/S-A55V ........................................60 amp fuse
S-A32F .........................................................40 amp fuse

• For details on the wires size to be used, refer to
the supplied "Cautions on Power Supply Wires
Connection" and "Cautions on Power Supply
Wires" (page 19), and then use the wire of
the specified size.
Remote Turn-On Lead (sold separately)
Connect this lead to the remote turn-on
(positive trigger, (+) 12 V only) lead of your head
unit. If a remote turn-on lead is not available, see
"CONNECTION CHECK LIST" section on
page 8 for alternative method.
• When connecting the speaker output leads of
the head unit to this unit with a Speaker-RCA
Conversion cable (sold separately), you do not
need to connect the remote turn-on lead,
owing to the "REMOTE SENSING" function of
this unit. However, the "REMOTE SENSING"
function may not work depending on the
signal source connected. In such a case,
connect the remote turn-on lead to an
incoming power supply cord (accessory
power) in the ACC position.
Ground Lead (sold separately)
Connect this lead securely to a clean, bare metal
spot on the vehicle's chassis. Verify this point to
be a true ground by checking for continuity
between that point and the negative (–)
terminal of the vehicle's battery. Ground all your
audio components to the same point on the
chassis to prevent ground loops while keeping
wire length as short as possible.
• For details on the wires size to be used, refer to
the supplied "Cautions on Power Supply Wires
Connection" and "Cautions on Power Supply
Wires" (page 19), and then use the wire of
the specified size.
RCA Input Jacks
Connect these jacks to the line out leads on your
head unit using RCA extension cables or
Speaker-RCA Conversion cable (sold separately).
Be sure to observe correct channel connections;
Left to Left and Right to Right.
Pre-Out Jacks (S-A60M only)
These jacks provide a line level output. This is an
ideal output for driving a second subwoofer
amp. This output is full-range, and is not affected
by the crossover.
Remote Bass Control (optional)
Connect the Remote Bass Control Unit
RUX-KNOB.2 (sold separately) to adjust the
output level remotely. This is not to replace
appropriate gain level setting between the
amplifier and head unit.
