AMPLIFIER STATUS LEDS 3 4 SHORT PROTECT THERMAL PROTECT POWER CLIP OUT 1 2 The LEDs provide the following indications: 1. Power - This LED illuminates RED when the amplifier power is turned on with the remote input (output muted). After a short time delay this LED will turn GREEN (amplifier ready). 2. Clip Output - This LED illuminates RED on the peaks of the output signal when the peaks are too high. This clipping causes audible distortion in the speakers. 3. Short - This LED illuminates RED on

WIRING Before beginning, disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the battery prior to connecting the amplifier to the positive (+) 12V terminal to prevent a short to ground and potential damage to wiring and equipment. Some vehicle radios have an anti-theft feature where when the radio is removed from 12V the radio will no longer function and must be code reset. Note: The cables running from the battery to the rear of the car should be installed on the side of the car opposite to the antenna. Wh

same precautions for routing these wires that you followed for running the power and remote turn on wires. Cut off excess and, using wire strippers, strip 1/4-inch of insulation. Locate the TM speaker/remote turn-on PowerLock connector. Loosen the outer screws on the underside of the connector. Insert the speaker leads into the end. Check to be sure you've maintained proper polarity TM before securing each wire, and plug the PowerLock into the amplifier. Note: The power connector is inserted int

GROUND WIRING Locate an area near the amplifier(s) that is metal and clean an area about the size of a quarter down to bare metal. Inspect the area around and underneath to be sure you will not drill into wires, brake or fuel lines, etc. Drill a pilot hole in the middle of this area. Terminate the ground wire with a ring connector and attach it to the bare metal using a #8 sheet metal screw and washer or preferable, a bolt, nut and a star washer. (not supplied). We suggest crimping and soldering

CURRENT DRAW The following is a basic formula to be used as a guide to determine current draw. Your new DCX amplifier is more efficient than most other amplifiers. This formula is to be used as a guideline. Using wire of a larger gauge can only improve the current transfer of your system. Do NOT use smaller wire gauge. Total RMS output X 1.5 = Total Input Wattage Total Input Wattage = Current Draw (in Amps) Supply Voltage Example: A DCX amplifier has two channels at 250 watts per channel RMS rat

POWER WIRE SIZE A minimum of 8 gauge or a maximum of 4 gauge wire is recommended dependent on the application. The ground wire must be the same gauge as the power wire. POWER LOCK CONNECTORS Once you have run both the power and ground wires, then connect the cables to the amplifier. Cut off excess wire, and using wire strippers, strip the ends of the power and ground cables TM approximately 1/4 inch. Locate the PowerLock power and ground connector (supplied).

modules. This feature permits the creation of a mono channel for a suitable subwoofer or center channel. Deriving the mono channel is accomplished by using the Left Channel Positive wire (L+) as the positive speaker wire and the Right Channel Negative wire (R-) as the negative speaker wire. Note: It is important that a minimum 4 ohm impedance is observed. If the impedance drops below 4 ohms while the amplifier is wired in the bridged configuration, the amplifier’s protection circuitry may engage
