1. Terminate the ground first and then the 12V and please make sure that you terminate them into the correct terminals Then tighten the screws down securely Speaker Load Keep in mind FUSION AM series amplifiers are high power amplifiers and not high current amplifiers In other words they require a minimum impedance ot 2 ohms STEREO and 4 ohms bridged MONO to operate trouble free Too low of an impedance could send your FUSION amplifier into protection mode and or damage the amplifier Remote Turn on This terminal must be connected to a switched 12V source Typically remote turn on leads are provided at the head unit which will turn on and off the amplifier If the head unit does not have a remote turn on lead then a power antenna wire can be used If neither of these leads are present on the head unit then a switched 12V supply must be used like the ACC 12V Run a minimum of 18 gauge wire from the amplifier location to the source of the switched 12V lead Connect the source remote output to the wire Go back to the amplifier and cut the wire to length Loosen the screw terminal marked REM on the amplifier using a hex type screwdriver Slip the wire into the connector and tighten the screw securely CONNECTION INSTALLATION Inputs amp Gain Setup Low Level Inputs Be extra careful with your RCA interconnects Hiss engine noise and fan noise can easily be picked up through RCA cables if run incorrectly Avo2. the boat CONFORMAL COATED CIRCUITRY Provides added protection from salt air and moisture to ensure maximum product life MARINE GRADE CHASSIS Stainless steel end and bottom plates provide a stunning finish coupled with environmental protection RCA LINE OUT A pass through RCA output enables linking of multiple amplifiers for enhanced system performance FEATURE OVERVIEW Control Descriptions 004 Hoe uti OUTPUT 4 Se GRIS N pet mas Y X OVER P HP BASS BOO UBSONIC LE n OWER SELECTOR CH1 3 db ee i OFF ip HP 40Hz 160Hz 600Hz 18dB 55Hz 0 3V CHi J OVER LP HP BASS BOOST SUBSONIC LEVEL _ Nd Se Std ami a m 8v OFF p mp 40Hz 160Hz 40Hz 600Hz 0dB 18dB 20Hz 55Hz VICE 09 1 Power And Status LEDs This shows if the amplifier has been correctly powered up and if any faults are pre sent 2 Crossover Selector Set the appropriate mode of operation The 3 positions available are OFF LP and 3 Low Pass Set the crossover switch 2 to LP when a subwoofer is connected Ensure the crosso ver frequency is set at 100Hz or below this feature is designed to filter all mid to high frequencies that only FULL RANGE speakers should produce NOTE Failure to do so could result in speaker damage 4 High Pass Set the crossover switch 2 to HP and turn this control to 65Hz or above when using speakers smaller than 6 this feature is designed to filter all low bass frequen

8. lation Once the vessel is checked make certain the correct cable size is used We recommend using the following cables calculator diagram on page 9 to calculate the correct power cable for your application Power FUSION amplifiers should be wired directly to the battery using the appropriate sized cable Start at the vessels battery and run the power cable through to the amplifier FUSION recommends the use of grommets when passing the power cable through any metal wall to avoid sharp corners or sharp body parts that may easily cut through the insulation on the cable Avoid running the power cable over engine components The use of an inline fuse or circuit breaker is a must this will prevent the risk of a potential fire caused be a short in your power cable Connect the fuse holder or circuit breaker as close to the battery positive terminal as possible Use a fuse or circuit breaker of equal value as that found on the chassis of your FUSION amplifier You may now connect the cable to the battery but remember to leave the fuse out or circuit breaker off until all other cable connections are made Ground When grounding your FUSION amplifier use the same gauge cable for ground as you did for the power Secure the ground cable to the appropriate ground point now its time to connect the power and ground cables to the amplifier Cut both cables to length Use a hex type screwdriver to loosen the 12V and the GND connections on the amplifier
