4 warnings zapco highly recommends that a fuse or circuit breaker be placed within 18" of the battery. Although products have adequate internal protection, it is possible that a pinched power wire between the component and the battery may result in a fire. The protection device should be placed wher...
5 wire size most people understand the importance of a clean signal source for good sound reproduction. But, what about your 12 volt power source? It’s often surprising how many people (even professional car sound people) will obsess about signal wire but routinely provide the amp only a fraction of...
6 installation guidelines mounting your i-force amplifier is easy. Keep in mind the following guidelines: • the amplifier may be mounted in any direction, on wood, metal or carpet. • the metal case of the amplifier may be grounded or left isolated. • the amplifier requires adequate ventilation. Posi...

9 i-force inputs to provide maximum versatility, i-force amplifiers provide both rca and symbilink™ inputs. They also provide balanced high level inputs that can hook directly to your speaker outputs of your factory system. Below are the wire codes for the balanced high level input plugs. Warning: t...
10 bass boost control to provide more of the control you want with your system, we have developed a unique wired remote gain control for i-force amplifiers. The i-force remote is included with every i-force amplifier and is activated whenever the crossover is switched to low pass mode. The upper lim...

32 speaker wiring to properly connect your system, it is critical that you understand the load your speakers will put on the amplifier. To this end you should know how your hookup affects the load. You can hook multiple speakers to a single output in three ways. The first is a series circuit. A seri...
33 even numbers of speakers can be connected in series parallel circuits to achieve the correct load for your amplifier. Example: the above drawing shows four 4-ohm loads. In series you would have 16 ohms. This high impedance would reduce effective amp power. In parallel they would create a 1-ohm lo...
