TOOLS/PARTS FOR INSTALLATION

NOTE: TOOLS ARE NOT SUPPLIED

Small flat blade screwdriver phillips screwdriver (#2 or medium sized),

Wire cutters, Wire strippers, - #6 round head screws, and 1 - #8 sheet metal

screw (or nut, bolt flat washer, start washer) (see detail) 2 Ring connectors

(large enough to accommodate your method of grounding) In-line fuse or

Grommets (Sized to work with the power wire you plan to use in your

installation) Tube of silicone seal.

Protection Circuitry

The amplifier protection circuitry will disable the amplifier if the inputs are

overloaded, short-circuited or extremely high temperature conditions are detected.

When the protection mode is in operation, the LED indicator on the front panel will

be illuminated , indicating the amplifier has gone into a self-preservation mode.

If you observe that the protection LED is lit, please check the system carefully to

determine what has caused the protection circuit to engage. The amplifier can be

reset by turning the remote power off and then on again. If the amplifier shuts down

due to a thermal overload condition, please allow it to cool down before powering

up. If the amplifier shuts down because of an input overload or short circuit, be sure

to repair these conditions before attempting to power up the amplifier again.

Electrical Wiring

All RUBICON Amplifiers are equipped with easy top access screw terminals .

These terminals are nickel-plated in order to ensure excellent electrical contact

and to resist corrosion.

When making electrical connections to the amplifier, please observe the following :

Use at least 4 gauge or heavier wire for power and ground connections.

Wire the amplifier directly to the car battery. Make sure there is circuit protection

(Such as a fuse) on the positive power lead, within 18 inches of the battery.

For the ground connection, use the shortest possible wire to a good chassis ground

point.

Wire the Remote connection to the remote turn-on lead of your equalizer or head unit.

In some cases this may be the power antenna lead of the head unit.

Remote Subwoofer Level Control

The RUBICON Amplifiers are equipped with a dashboard mount remote

subwoofer level control. Run the supplied dashboard remote control from the

front panel of your amplifier. By turning the level knob clockwise, you will

increase the output of low frequencies.

Fuses

Fuses protect both the amplifier and the electrical system of your vehicle from faulty

conditions . If you must replace the fuse in your RUBICON Amplifier, use a

fuse of exactly the same type and rating. A different type or rating may resuit in

damage or cause a fire.

Mounting the Amplifier

Mark the location for the mounting screw holes by positioning the amplifier where you

wish to install it and use a scribe (or one of the mounting screws) inserted in each

mounting hole to mark the mounting surface. If the mounting surface is carpeted,

measure the hole centers and mark with a felt tip pen.

Drill pilot holes in the mounting surface for the mounting screws and insert the

mounting screws into these holes. Tighten them securely.

Note: Before beginning your installation, be sure to take note of any wires, lines or

other devices in your vehicle which may be located behind any mounting surface.
