cable is connected to the grounding point;
make sure there is a good electrical contact.
3. The red cable is connected to the positive
terminal of the battery via a suitable fuse.
CAUTION: A main fuse
must
be inserted
into the positive cable a maximum of 12“
(=30 cm) distance from the positive battery
post (insurance company requirement!). This
fuse will blow in the event of mechanical
damage to the cable and conductor contact
with the chassis to prevent a cable fi re or
worse! The rating must be appropriate for
the total current input of the system. The fuse
in the device wiring harness protects only the
device itself, but not the battery and the
vehicle! Suitable fuse elements can be found
in accessories stores.
4. After the power cable is properly connected,
the battery can be reconnected.
5. The 2-pin power connector cable at the
i-soamp
cable harness (see photo, A) is connected to
power connector cable AD-0125(B).
1.8 Caution notice:
The fuse for the device may only be replaced
with a fuse of the same rating (20A) to avoid
damaging the device. Higher value fuses can
result in dangerous consequences!
The
i-soamp-2
can deliver higher output from
the existing loudspeakers than the original radio.
Most loudspeakers can handle it with no problem.
Nevertheless, please be very careful with the
volume control. To prevent damage to the
loudspeakers, avoid leaving the volume up too
high for long periods, which is noticeable by an
unpleasant, distorted sound.
It is highly recommended to set the car radio‘s
tone controls (basses/trebles) to „neutral“, i.e. to
the center point and/or „0“. Experience has shown
that this is the best setting for the best and most
natural sound and avoids overloading the speakers.
