Before beginning, disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the battery prior to working on the positive (+) terminal to prevent a short to ground. This is important, unless you want to spend the rest of your life with a nickname like "Sparky," or "Smokey." Reconnect the negative terminal only after all connections have been made. Warning! A Main Fuse must be installed within 18" of battery! 16 5

The New! PCX™ amplifiers mass has been increased by 2 lbs. per linear foot over last year’s P O W E R C L A S S ™ amplifiers, resulting in far superior heat PCX 250 Power Panel dissipation. The unique heatsink on your PCX™ amplifier has been designed with 4 5 1 fins on the inside of the aluminum extrusion. This allows for the transfer of heat from the circuitry to the heatsink fins and out through the vents in the endplates. Be sure you have ample space around the amplifier for cooling; at least

The following is a basic formula to be used as a guide to determine current draw. A50% amplifier efficiency rating is used as an average. Your new P C X™ a m p l i f i e r is more efficient than most other amplifiers. This formula is to be used as a guideline. Using wire of a larger gauge can only improve the current transfer of your system. Do not use smaller gauge wire. Total Amplifier RMS output x 2 = Total Input Wattage from car Total Input Wattage = Current Draw (in Amps) Supply Voltage Ex
