Power Connections

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 of the battery. Use 8 gauge or larger automotive grade wire if the distance from the battery to the amp is excessive. Avoid sharp or rough edges as a safeguard against short-circuiting and potential fire hazards.

• GND = Connect the proper gauge ground wire to the amplifier GND terminal. Locate the position on the chassis of the car where the amplifier will be grounded. Use solder or a crimped ring terminal to connect the ground wire. Pre-drill the prepped chassis to bolt the ground ring terminal with a nut, bolt, and lock washer. Insulate the metal and the connector with paint or silicone to prevent rust and oxidation. Silicone also works great to prevent nuts and bolts from working loose in the harsh environments of an automobile. Upon completion of the ground connection, grab the wire and connector to confirm the connection is solid. To prevent engine noise, it is recommended to ground the head unit and other electronic audio devices to the same location.
• REM = Connect the remote wire (power antenna output) from the head unit to the REM terminal. 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 turned off with the radio or key. If the amplifier remains on, the battery will drain.
• 12V = Connect the proper gauge power wire to the B+ terminal. Trace the power wire through the car to the in-line fuse or circuit breaker that is no more than 18″ from the battery. Remember, the in-line fuse or circuit breaker protects the car in the event of a short circuit. Connect the in-line fuse or circuit breaker to the battery, but do not install the fuse or activate the circuit breaker yel

Mounting Your Razor

Choosing the best mounting location for your Razor amplifier is crucial. The amplifier should be mounted to any wood, metal, or carpeted surface. The heatsink can be mounted directly to the chassis of the car, or isolated for best performance. It needs proper ventilation, so avoid mounting the amp under the seats, in the engine bay, or in any other area where moisture might accumulate. Be sure the mounting screws do not penetrate the fuel tank, brake lines, or any other crucial fluid lines. Never mount the amplifier to a subwoofer enclosure, as excessive vibrations can cause damage.

Warning

Power Acoustik highly recommends that an in-line fuse or circuit breaker be installed within 18″ of the battery. Although your Razor amplifier has adequate internal protection, it is possible a damaged wire between the component and the battery may result in a fire. The in-line fuse or circuit breaker should be installed in a location that is easy to access, and all wiring should be routed safely, following the below suggestions:

• Avoid placing wires near hot or moving objects
• Always use wire grommets when routing wire through the firewall or any other metal surfaces
• Avoid the potential for damaged wires by routing all wires away from moving hinges, seats, brake & gas pedals, hood, and trunk hinges, etc.

Troubleshooting

Warning

Investigate the layout of your vehicle before drilling or cutting any holes. Take care when you are working near the gas tank, brake lines, hydraulic lines, and electrical wiring. Do not use the amplifier without securely mounting it, as the amp or vehicle may be damaged in the event of an accident. Do not mount the amplifier where the wire connections are unprotected or are subject to pinching or damage from other vehicle components. The 12V power wire must be fused within 18″ of the battery. Ensure the source unit iS is powered off before making any wiring connections. If you need to replace the fuses, use only the same type and size. Using a fuse of a different type or rating may result in damage to the amplifier or vehicle, which will not be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
