INSTALLATION Before any wiring and installation is performed, FUSION recommends you first plan the complete installation. Look at wiring routing, amplifier location and fitment. Please re-check the installation at completion. Appropriate mounting is very important for prolonged life expectancy of any amplifier. Select a location that allows enough space so sufficient airflow is maintainable and a location that provides protection from moisture. Keep in mind that an amplifier should never be mounted upside down.
WIRING Make sure before any connection is made to the amplifier or source unit, ensure that you turn the audio system off. Failure to do so could result in either the stock system or your new FUSION product being damaged. FUSION does not warranty damaged amplifiers due to incorrect installation. When wiring the FUSION amplifier, ensure that the wires are away from sharp objects and that rubber grommets and insulated bungs are used when wiring through door jams and any other steel panels.
CONNECTION Note: Ensure the audio system is off during the installation of FUSION product. Once the installation is complete FUSION recommends that you turn the volume of the source unit up slowly so as not to damage the speakers. Please recheck the complete installation prior to turning the audio system on. POWER TERMINAL BLOCK POWER FUSION amplifiers should be wired directly to the vehicle battery using the appropriate sized cable.
REMOTE TURN-ON This terminal must be connected to a switched +12V source. Typically, remote turn-on leads are provided at the headunit which will turn the amplifier on and off in correspondence with the source. If the head unit does not have a remote turn-on lead, then a power antenna wire can be used. If neither of these leads are present on the head unit then a switched +12V supply must be used, like the ACC +12V.
RCA INPUT CONNECTION LOW LEVEL INPUTS Choose the correct length and style of RCA interconnects for your needs. The FUSION range of RCA’s gives you a variety of alternative solutions. These have multiple layers of shielding or are a twisted pair variety for better noise rejection (consult your FUSION dealer if unsure which to purchase). Be extra careful with your RCA interconnects. Car environments are notorious for poorly insulated wires.
CONTROL DESCRIPTIONS MONOBLOCK AMPLIFIER 1 2 9 10 11 3 4 PP-AM10001, PP-AM15001, PP-AM20001 5 12 6 7 8 13 1 POWER AND STATUS LED’S: This displays ‘Green’ if the amplifier has been correctly powered up and ‘Red’ if any faults are present. 2 BASS BOOST: This is a variable control to increase the bass boost at 45Hz from 0 – +12dB of gain, adjust to suit. 3 PHASE SWITCH: Select the phase switch to 0 or 180 degree to adjust the in phase or out of phase subwoofer direction to the vehicles system.
5 SUBSONIC: This is a variable control that filters out all sub bass frequencies below the set point at 12dB/Octave. 6 LEVEL: This allows level adjustment of the input signal. Use this control to correctly match the head unit to the amplifier. To set this control correctly, turn the amplifier level to MIN and the head unit to 3/4 volume, with the bass and treble on zero, then slowly turn up this amplifier level control towards the MAX end of the control.
