INSTALLATION

To install this SPECTRON amplifier, you have to buy additional accessories like
power cables, RCA interconnects, main fuse holder, i.e. to properly connect your
amplifier to the on-board voltage system in your verhicle and the installed headunit.
To obtain best performance and power output, it is recommended to use good
quality accessory material only. Furthermore, consider a safe mounting of the
amplifier, sufficient ventilation, convenient accessibility of all the side panel controls
a.s.o.
Please note that - because of possible interference problems with the existing car
electrics and electronics - the routing of the RCA signal cables and the chassis
ground connection are crucial steps for the install of this amp, and care must be
applied to obtain a noise free and reliable performance.
GENERAL INFO ABOUT WIRES
MAIN POWER CABLE CROSS SECTION
The minimum power cable cross-section for this SPECTRON amplifier is
10mm². If you intend to bridge this amplifier driving a subwoofer, or if two amplifiers
are to be mounted in your verhicle, the minimum power cable cross section is
16mm².
These recommendations guarantee troublefree operation of your amp(lifiers), giving
you full power output. Using main power cables with smaller cross sections may
result in over-heating of the internal amplifier circuitry and elevated distortions.
RCA INTERCONNECTS
Use at least double shielded RCA interconnect cables. Keep in mind, that the RCA
interconnects should always be kept far away from any potential sources of electrical
interferences, for example try ro avoid crossing electronic vehicle management
systems (like engine computers, relays, wire harness a.s.o.).
MINIMUM SPEAKER IMPEDANCES
The internal amplifying circuitry and the heat dissipation capacity of this amplifier's
heatsink has been designed to cope with 2 ohm impedance loads in stereo mode
or 4 ohms in bridge mode. Therefore, you can drive 4 to 2 ohm satellite speaker
systems – or 4 ohm subwoofer systems in bridged operation mode. Do NOT operate
this amplifier bridged into 2 ohm loads, the amp electronics may get damaged!!!!

AMPLIFIER MOUNTING

MOUNTING LOCATION
Check the suitability of your preferred amplifier location carefully, before you start
installation attempts. Always try to choose a place where you can be sure nothing
gets damaged behind or below the panel, by drilling the holes for the amplifier
mounting screws. Be aware that after the amp has been mounted, there should be a
clearance of at least 5cm to all sides, for best cooling and to access the side panel
for the adjustments of the electronic crossover.
