1. Confirm that all terminal strip connections are secure and tight Check the BALANCE control on the head unit or other source to verify that it is set to its mid point If you are using the low level RCA input reverse the input plugs at the amplifier switch the R with the L If the channel which is silent switches to the other side the problem is either in the head unit other source or the connecting cables Re adjust the Input Level Control to better suit the input signal If the noise is a whine whose pitch follows the engine speed confirm that the amplifier and any other signal sources head unit equalizer etc are properly grounded If the noise is a clicking or popping noise whose rate follows the engine speed this usually means that the vehicle is equipped with resistor spark plugs and wires or that the ignition is in need of service Check the routing of the speaker and input wires to make sure they are not adjacent to wires which interconnect with lights and other accessories If the above steps fail to improve or clear noise interference the system should be checked by a authorized RE Audio Dealer Z U 2 Z ie U Basic Wiring A vosz 3Se9 32 p sn 35 jeuJe3X3 eonou P fqns uoneoyi2eds RCA Connection 7 3000 1 rem O Qs morer IN a3odiug AUS 22 2 as 62. eux ZIK SERIES 800 4 4 CH UU UM 3000 1 1 Noc mio 5000 1 ADS made by u s Amps MONOBLOCK AMPLIFIER RELEASE THE anae wee BEASTe e by u s Amps O Congratulations on your selection of a RE Audio Ae series amplifier We take pride in manufacturing our products and you can expect your new amplifier to give you years of trouble free service To make your installation as easy and reliable as possible please read this manual carefully before beginning If you need more information your RE Audio Dealer will be glad to help To locate a RE Audio Dealer near you go to our web site and look for Locate Dealer CONTENTS 1 ccccccccccece Congratulations TOC 2 Features amp Installation Wiring Instructions Basic Wiring Monoblock 4 channel 6 0000000000000 Bridged Wiring 4 channel Specifications B eere eene nen Troubleshooting cccccccccccce Caution eee Limited Warranty Limited Warranty RE Audio warrants all manufactured electronic products to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period not to exceed ONE YEAR from the date of purchase IMPORTANT WARRANTY NOTICE RE Audio will only warrant and service products displaying valid RE Audio serial numbers WARRANTY SERVICE WILL ONLY BE PERFORMED WHEN THE UNIT IS ACCOMPANIED BY A C

7. age source and minimize noise Connecting the battery terminal lead to any other point such as the fuse block will reduce the power output and may cause noise and distortion Use only 8 AWG or thicker smaller AWG wire for this lead and connect it to the terminal of the battery after all other wiring is completed The ground terminal GND connection is also critical to the correct operation of the amplifier Use a wire of the same gauge as the power connection 8 AWG or thicker and connect it between the ground terminal GND of the amplifier and a metal part of the vehicle close to the mounting location This wire should be as short as possible and any paint or rust at the grounding point should be scraped away to provide a clean metal surface to which the end of the ground wire can be screwed or bolted The amplifier is turned on by applying 12V to the remote turn on terminal REM The wire lead to this terminal should be connected to the Auto Antenna lead from the head unit If the head unit does not provide an Auto Antenna lead the remote turn on lead may be wired to an Accessory or Radio terminal in the vehicle s fuse block This will turn the amplifier on or off with the ignition key regardless of whether the head unit is on or off The remote turn on lead does not carry large currents So 20 AWG wire may be used for this application Depending on the type and number of speakers connect them to the speaker terminals as shown in
8. ast 16 gauge wire for remote connection The following noises can be dangerous under constant exposure Keep the wire connections as short as possible in order to minimize power loss and provide a higher audio out quality 90 Subway motorcycle truck traffic lawn mower Use the shortest ground connection to the chassis of the vehicle and 100 Garbage truck chain saw pneumatic drill make sure that the paint is removed at the connection point 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers thunderclap Connect the remote input to the remote antenna output of the head unit 140 Gunshot blast jet plane e Mount the fuse holder within 200mm 8 of the vehicle s battery Use a 180 Rocket launching pad fuse equal to that specified for your amplifier if a large single 12V line is run which feeds more than one amplifier add up all required fuse ratings and use the total rating for the fuse Connect the speaker to the amplifier observing the correct phasing Make sure that none of the speaker connections can touch the vehicle Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation chassis 3 for a lifetime Connect the RCA inputs to the appropriate signal source using only the c Enjoyment highest quality RCA cables Make sure that the RCA and speaker cables do not run parallel to the 12V wiring WIRING INSTRUCTIONS The battery terminal 12V must be connected directly to the positive terminal of the vehicle s battery to provide an adequate volt
9. the appropriate wiring diagram For most applications 16 AWG wire would be adequate but in no case thinner than 18 AWG For leads more than 10 feet long 14 AWG is recommended When wiring the speakers pay special attention to the polarity of the terminals Do not ground any speaker leads to the chassis of the vehicle Caution Use either the low level or high level inputs on the amplifier Do not use both at the same time If the head unit does not provide low level outputs the amplifier may be connected via the speaker high level outputs from the head unit Wire the speaker leads from the head unit to the 5 pin adaptor harness as shown in the diagram shielded cable is not required and plug the connector into the input connector on the amplifier Carefully splice and insulate all wire connection TROUBLESHOOTING Before removing your amplifier refer to the list below and follow the suggested procedures Always test the speakers and their wires first Confirm that all terminal strip connections are secure and tight Check both in line and built in fuses Confirm that the audio signal source car radio equalizer etc is connected and is supplying output signal To check if the amplifier is supplying signal unplug the RCA cables from the signal source but leave them plugged into the amp and briefly tap the center pin of each of the disconnected RCA plugs with your finger This should produce a noise feedback in your speakers
