1.7 Direct connection to the battery
Under certain circumstances, the
i-soamp-2
amplifi ers must connected directly to your car‘s
battery. This is the case if you have trouble
covering the power requirement of the
i-soamp-2
amplifi er with the supplied ISO power adapter
or if you deploy several i-soamp amplifi ers in
your vehicle.
A. Power connection at the i-soamp wiring harness
B. Power connector cable AD-0125
For a direct connection of the
i-soamp
amplifi er
to the vehicle battery,
i-sotec
recommends using
the
i-sotec
power connector cable „AD-0125.“
Important: before connecting the device to
your car‘s 12 V electrical system, be sure to
disconnect the battery!
1. The power connector cable must be run within
the vehicle so that the end of the cable with the
adapter plug is located at the end of the
i-soamp
cable harness and the other cable end
near the car battery. It is important to ensure
that the cable is run without kinks. Avoid contact
with sharp edged metal parts; rubber grom-
mets are recommended. If necessary, the power
connector cable can be shortened at the end
after successfully running it close to the battery.
Note: The black cable inside the power
connector cable is used to connect the ground
contact; the red cable is used to connect to
+12V.
2. A suitable ground connection point on the
chassis must be found to connect the black
cable. The ground connection point must have
perfect contact with the chassis and the battery‘s
negative terminal. Make sure this is the case and
that you have not selected a piece of metal that
was only glued to the vehicle chassis. The black
