5. Amplifier connections are quick disconnect requiring no tools WARNING Figure 4 Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components For high current wires it is highly recom mended that terminal blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the connections Do not use insulation displacement connectors e g Scotchlock type connectors Route wiring using grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls Minimize the number of splices to reduce voltage drop High ambient temperatures e g under hood will significantly reduce the current carrying capacity of wires fuses and circuit breakers Use SXL type wire in engine compartment All wiring should conform to the minimum wire size and other recommendations of the manufacturer and be protected from moving parts and hot surfaces Looms grommets cable ties and similar installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect all wiring Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect these points from corrosion and loss of conductivity Ground terminations should only be made to substantial chassis components preferably directly to the vehicle battery The user should install a fuse sized to approximately 125 of the maximum Amp capacity in the supply line and each switched circuit to protect against short circuits For example a 30 Amp
