Installation
Installation considerations
If you choose to install the amplifier by yourself, please read the entire owner’s manual carefully.
Before you start your installation, please take all steps into consideration.
If in doubt, please go to www.b2audio.com for authorized distributors / dealers that will be able to
configure your set up & ensure the warranty of your amplifier.
Preparation
Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before mounting or making any connection.
Check the battery & alternator ground (-) connection. Make sure they are properly connected/dimensioned
& free of corrosion. Before selecting a mounting location for the amplifier, please take cooling & safety
into consideration. Avoid areas with excessive vibration & up side down installation!
In order to avoid excessive heat from the amplifier, it is recommended to find a mounting location
that allows for vertical positioning of the heatsink fins. For safety purposes, install the amplifier in a dry and
well ventilated location and make sure no cables or other harness of the car is interfaced with the mounting
location or will present a hazard to the car’s cable, control cables, fuel lines/tanks, hydraulic lines or other
components of the vechicle. Route the RCA cables away from high current wires, if possible run RCA, Power and Speaker
cables individually and with a good distance from each other.
Power connectors
12V (Power connection)
Before mounting the amplifier, disconnect the negative (-) wire from the battery to protect any accidental
damage to the amplifier or the audio system. The amplifier is equipped with 0 AWG power & ground
terminals. It is crucial that all terminals are used with the adequate cable to ensure correct operation.
Connect the power cables to the power terminal labeled as +12V.
The amplifier is not equipped with fuses, so external fuses are required at both the battery and the amplifer.
Connect one end of the fuse holder to the power cable and the other end of the fuse holder to the positive
battery terminal within 8’’ /20 cm of the same cable. The same shall be done at the other end of the cable that
connects to the amplifier. The fuse locations will protect the system and the vehicle against the possibility of
a short circuit in the power cable. Make sure that the fuses and the fuse holder is according to the system requirements.
The protection circuits of the amplifier prevents severe damages from faulty conditions & improper use.
The protection indicatior will switch on due to short circuit connection & speaker overload, thus the amplifier will be turned off.
Prior to inspecting the occurred problem, turn all levels down & all power off, then carefully check the installation for
wiring mistakes, shorts or faulty ground (GND). If the amplifier shuts down due to excessive heat, the protection indicator will
light up; please allow time for the unit to be cooled off. Before removing your amplifier, refer to the list below and follow the
suggested procedures step by step. If not at ease, contact an authorized installer which can assist you.
.
PROTECTION LED IS LIT ONCE THE AMPLIFIER IS TURNED ON
Check shorts on speaker wires & the connected load / impedance. Check power cables & GND.
Disconnect the speaker cables and reset the amplifier.
High / Low voltage, operation voltage is 9 V ~ 16 V+. Voltages below / beyond this will cause the amplifier to go into protect.
FUSE BLOWING
Measure the speaker impedance & that it is in accordance with the configuration.
Inspect the power cable for shorts along with vehicle chassis.
OVERHEATING
Measure the speaker impedance & that it is in accordance with the configuration.
Check speaker shorts.
Ensure airflow around the amplifier is sufficient & that the amplifier is not installed in
areas of excessive vibration & upside down!
TURN ON THUMP
Disconnect the signal input to the amplifier, then turn it on and off.
a) If the noise is cancelled, then connect a delay turn on module on the REM wire running from
the source unit to the amplifier.
b) Use another 12V source for REM lead to the amplifier. If the noise is cancelled, use a relay
to isolate the amplifier from the turn on thump.
