Connect the amplifier to the battery For maximum amplifi er performance, we suggest StreetWires 4 gauge wire and 1 Farad stiffening capacitor. A fuse or circuit breaker is required at maximum distance of 18” from the battery to protect the battery, the vehicle, and more importantly you (see attached chart for proper fuse ratings). It is highly recommended that installation be carried out by an authorized MTX dealer.

Connect the amplifier remote turn-on Connect the remote input terminal of the amplifi er to the remote output terminal of the source unit (only if using RCA inputs) to establish amplifi er remote on/off through the power on/off of the source unit. If a source unit is being used without RCA outputs, use the high-level inputs for signal which will turn the amplifi er on via our Smart Engage circuitry (Four-channel amps will only engage on the front high-level inputs). 3. Connect the amplifier ground to the vehicle chassis For maximum amplifi er performance we suggest 4 gauge wire. Find a solid piece of metal and scrape the paint away where the ground cable will be attached (DO NOT GROUND CABLE TO FACTORY BOLTS). Connect the ground cable to the amplifi er at this point. - NOTE...
