Read This First Installing a car audio system is a serious project. If you have any doubts about your ability to execute any of the installation steps found in this manual, save yourself a lot of grief and contact a professional installer. Your Polk Audio dealer is a good place to find one. If you intend to do the installation yourself we assume you possess some skill in the proper use of hand and power tools.
Notes About Electrical Installation • ALWAYS DISCONNECT YOUR VEHICLE’S BATTERY GROUND BEFORE WORKING WITH YOUR VEHICLE’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. • This amplifier is designed for use in vehicles with 12-volt, negative-ground electrical systems. Use of this product in vehicles with positive-ground, or with voltages other than 12 volts, may result in damage to the product and the system, and will void the warranty. This product is NOT certified or approved for use in aircraft.
Installing Your New Polk Audio Amplifier Installation de votre nouvel amplificateur Polk Audio Before installing your new amplifier, carefully choose the location for the installation. The amplifier should have at least 2" (5cm) of ventilation space on all sides to allow heat to rise and dissipate away from the amplifier. Be sure that the power and signal cable connections can enter and leave the amplifier in a straight line to avoid the risk of kinked wires causing a malfunction.
Typical Installation Installation typique ALWAYS DISCONNECT YOUR VEHICLE’S BATTERY GROUND BEFORE WORKING WITH YOUR VEHICLE’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

ALWAYS BE AWARE OF THE LOCATION OF HIDDEN WIRES, CABLES AND FLUID LINES BEFORE DRILLING HOLES OR MAKING CONNECTIONS.
Typical Installation, continued For the ground connection, also use the largest gauge cable available. Connect to the terminal marked GND and then connect this cable directly to your car’s chassis. Keep the length of the GND connection as short as possible, ideally under 6", to avoid ground loops and engine noise hum problems. Make certain that the ground point is directly connected to the car’s metal chassis, with no dirt or paint getting in the way of a clean metal-to-metal connection. 7.

Detailed Adjustments for the Amp Panel 1 REMOTE BASS GAIN MODULE JACK Accepts telephone jack input connection from the remote bass gain module (only works on REAR channel when crossover is set to LP). Set GAIN (8) to max when using the remote. Remote bass gain module is sold separately. See your Authorized Polk AutoSound Dealer or visit the webstore at polkaudio.com.
Detailed Adjustments for the Amp Panel continued Most of the time you should set the LP and HP filters to around the same frequency setting, but always let your ears be the final judge. Experiment and go with the settings that sound best. When the CROSSOVER MODE is set to OFF, the Frequency Control does nothing. When the Pre EQ switch is on, the Frequency Control does nothing (the crossovers are preset by the Pre EQ feature).

Power Connection Details Before installing your amplifier, disconnect the negative (ground) wire from the vehicle’s battery and secure it away from the battery. This will prevent accidental damage to the system. And to yourself as well. This amplifier’s “+12 VDC” and “GROUND” (chassis ground) connections are designed to accept 4 AWG power wire or smaller. We recommend a power wire of at least 8 AWG. Bigger power wire means more room for more power to flow.
