RCA Input and Pass- Thru Output- These RCA jacks allow for a normal Left and Right channel signal input. Simply connect to the source unit using RCA type audio cables, keeping them away from power wiring wherever possible. On the 4 channel amplifiers "Front" and "Rear" input jacks are present. The "Pass- Thru" output allows the signal to pass on to other amplifiers. The Pass- Thru output is unaffected by the onboard crossover.
Strapping Amplifiers to6oo.1, o1ooo.11 Your new Diamond Audio amplifiers have the unique ability to combine or "strap" either two D600.1's or two D1 000.1's together to create one extremely powerful channel. You cannot strap a D600.1 and a D1 000.1 together. You must only connect two identical amplifiers. When you strap two Diamond Audio amplifiers together, you get the added benefit of being able to use one remote level control to control both amplifiers.

Installation Guidelines Tools and Supplies Listed below are the tools and supplies needed to complete this installation: • Volt/Ohm Meter • Wire strippers and wire cutters • #2 Phillips screwdriver • Battery post wrench • Hand held drill w/assorted bits • High quality electrical tape or heatshrink tubing • Soldering iron and solder or assorted crimp connectors • Adequate Length- Power Wire (minimum 4 gauge recommended) • Adequate Length- Ground Wire (minimum 4 gauge recommended) • Adequat
Mounting Locations Engine Compartment Never mount this unit in the engine compartment. Mounting the unit in the engine compartment will void your warra:-~ty. Trunk Mounting Mounting tre amplifier vertically will provide adequate cooling of the amplifier. If you will be mounting it to an existing panel, be sure it's not prone to excessive vibration (such as mounting to the back of a subwoofer enclosure). Excess vibration is not recommended for electronic products, amplifiers included.
3) Trim the power ca bl8 within 18 inches (t 5. 7mm) of the positive battery post and splice in a in-line fuse holder. DO NOT install the fuse at this time. 4) Strip 1/2 inch (12.7mm) from the battery end of the power cable and crimp a large ring terminal to the cable. Connect the ring terminal to the positive (+) battery post. Power Connections WARNING YOU HUST USE AN OUTBOARD FUSE ON THE D1000.1. THERE ARE NO ONBOARD FUSES ON THE D1000.1. THE D1000.1 NEEDS J.N INLINE FUSE RATED AT 100 AHPS.
8) Connect from source signal by connecting the RCA audio cables to the input jacks at the amplifier. 9) Connect the car speakers. Speakers should be 4 Ohms. If connecting one speaker per channel as shown in the diagrams (except where noted on D400.1, D600.1, D1 000.1). Strip the speaker wires 1/2" (12. 7mm) and insert into the speaker terminal block, then tighten the set screw to secure into place. Be sure to maintain proper speaker polarity.
Connecting Multiple Speakers If you must connect more than one speaker per channel, there are two methods in which to do so: Series or Parallel. Parallel connections are harder on the amplifier than series connections, as the total impedance is lower compared to driving a single speaker, and the amplifier must produce more current to drive them. The following diagrams show "bridged" connections from the amplifier. 0300.,, 0600.
Parallel Connection + Series Connection + For more wiring options, see the Support section at www.diamondaudio.com Installing the Remote Level Controller The 0400.1, 0600.1, & D1000.1 come packaged with a remote level control. This allows you to control the level by attenuating the amplitude or increasing (up to the maximum set-point) of the amplifier's input gain control. This control does not add additional gain, it simply allows you to control the level to suit your tastes.
Adjustment of Built-In Crossover (All Models} Pldcing the switch in the FULL position sets the amplifier to Full Range. This setting allows ALL frequencies to pass to the speakers. (Not available on 0600.1, & 01000.1). Placing the switch in the HP or LP position activates the crossover. Placing the switch in the HP position sets the amplifier to the High Pass mode, enabling frequencies above the cutoff point to pass.
