7. We recommend checking your alternator and battery condition to ensure that the electrical system has enough capacity to handle the increased load of your stereo system Stock electrical systems which are in good condition should be able to handle the extra load of any Lightning Audio amplifier without problems although battery and alternator life can be reduced slightly To maximize the per formance of your Lightning Audio amplifier we suggest the use of a heavy duty battery and an energy storage capacitor WIRING THE SYSTEM CAUTION Avoid running power wires near the low level input cables antenna power leads sensitive equipment or harnesses The power wires carry substantial current and could induce noise into the audio system For safety disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation 1 Plan the wire routing Take care when running signal level RCA cables to keep them close together but isolated from the amplifier s power cables and any high power auto accessories especially electric motors This is done to prevent coupling the noise from radiated electrical fields into the audio signal When feeding the wires through the firewall or any metal barrier protect them with plastic or rubber grommets to prevent short circuits Leave the wires long at this point to adjust for a precise fit at a later time 2 Prepare the Power cable for attachment to the amplifier by stripping 1 2 of insulation from the end
