For the rear channels, locate the four terminal speaker Power Lock TM connector. Using a hex wrench loosen the screws on the upperside ofthe connector. Insert the speaker leads into the end and secure withthe hex wrench. Check to be sure you've maintained proper polaritybefore securing each wire. GR...

CHARGING SYSTEM If your total current draw is over 100 amps ( or total output power is over 600 watts ), you are probably exceeding the capability of your charging system. Dimming lights and fluctuating voltage are solidindicators that you need to upgrade your alternator, battery, or both.You should...
