INSTALLATION
POWER CONNECTIONS
The CS amplifiers are capable of delivering
extremely high power levels, and require a
heavy-duty and reliable connection to the
vehicle’s electrical system in order to
perform optimally. See Figures 1, 2 and 3 for
connection location. Please adhere to the
following instructions carefully:

connection location. Please adhere to the
following instructions carefully:
Ground Connection
Connect the amplifier’s Ground (GND)
terminal to a solid point on the vehicle’s
metal chassis, as close to the amplifier
as possible. Refer to the chart below to
determine minimum wire-gauge size.
Scrape away any paint from this location;
use a star-type-lock washer to secure the
connection.

Power Connection
Connect a wire (see chart at right for
appropriate gauge) directly to the vehicle’s
positive battery terminal, and install an
appropriate fuse holder within 50cm (18") of
the battery terminal.

Route the wire to the
amplifier’s location, and connect it to the
amplifier’s Positive (+12V) terminal. Be sure
to use appropriate grommets whenever
routing wires through the firewall or other
sheet metal.

APPLICATIONS – CS300.1
The CS subwoofer amplifiers are
single-channel amplifiers. There are
two sets of terminals to make it easy
to connect multiple woofers. Either
set of (+/–) terminals may be used when
connecting woofers.
