3. דראָט רוטינג: Route power, ground, and signal cables separately to minimize noise interference. Avoid sharp edges and moving parts.
4. פיוזינג: Install the provided 100 Amp fuse holder within 18 inches of the battery's positive terminal.

5.2 . Amplifier Wiring Steps

1. מאַכט קשר: Connect the 17 ft 4 AWG blue power wire from the fuse holder (connected to the battery's positive terminal) to the ampלעפיער'ס +12V טערמינאַל.
2. ערד קשר: Connect the 4 ft 4 AWG gray ground wire from the amplifier's GND terminal to a clean, bare metal chassis point on the vehicle. Use the self-tapping bolt and washer to ensure a secure connection.
3. רימאָוט ווענדן: Connect the 17 ft 16 gauge remote wire from your head unit's remote output to the ampליפיער'ס REM טערמינאַל. דער דראָט דרייט דעם ampליפיער אויף און אויס מיט אייער הויפט יוניט.
4. סיגנאַל אַרייַנשרייַב: Use the 16.4 ft KI RCAs to connect the head unit's RCA outputs to the amplifier's RCA inputs. If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, the amplifier's high-level input can be used (refer to the amplifier's specific wiring diagram for high-level input).
5. רעדנער רעזולטאַט: פֿאַרבינדט אײַער סאַבוואָפֿער(ס) צו די amplifier's speaker output terminals using the 12 ft Q Series 12 AWG speaker wire. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
