Soundmax SM-SA1004 Orange [6/27] Connections

Connections

POWER CONNECTION

• GND: Ground terminal. Connect to the car chassis. Keep the length of the ground cable to the

minimum.

Locate the position on the chassis of the car to which the amplifier is to be grounded. The surface must

be free from any paint or dirt. This can be accomplished with a small grinding bit, sand paper or wire

wheel.

NOTE: The wiring connection should be reliable and ensure direct connection of the amplifier to the car

battery.

• REM: remote control terminal. Connect the remote wire (power antenna output) from the head unit to

the remote turn-on wire of the amplifier. If the head unit is not equipped with a remote/antenna output,

locate a wire that is controlled by the accessory position of the key. It is important to have the amplifier

turn off with the radio or key. If the amplifier remains on, the result will most likely be a dead battery.

The applied voltage should be 10 - 15 V DC.

• B+: Anode of power connection terminal. Connect the proper gauge power wire to the amplifier “B+”

terminal. Run wire towards the fuse holder that is no greater than 0.5 meters from the battery.

Remember, the fuse is to protect the safety of the car in the case of a short. Connect fuse holder to

battery, but do not install fuse at this time.

NOTE: It is important to have good-quality power and ground connections. Remember, to complete an

electrical circuit, the ground connection is just as important as the positive power connection. Before any

power connections are made, disconnect the ground cable at the battery.
