Locate the positive terminal of the car battery and connect one end of the power cable to it. Run the power cable through the car’s firewall and towards the location of the amplifier. Make sure to secure the power cable to prevent it from coming loose. Connect the other end of the power cable to the power input of the amplifier. 5.
A fuse should be installed at the battery terminal to protect the amplifier and vehicle’s electrical system from any potential short circuits or overloads. The fuse should be chosen based on the maximum current rating of the amplifier. Overall, determining the wiring layout is a critical step in installing a car amplifier.
Good locations to install an amplifier include: Pros: You can use short wires and patch cords. You won't have to remove a seat or climb into the trunk. Cons: Only very small amps fit here. This puts your amp close to some common noise sources. Pros: Plenty of room for large amps. Near the rear speakers. Easy access to the amp controls.
Attach the fuse holder to the power cable near the battery terminal. This will protect the amplifier and the car’s electrical system from any potential damage in case of a power surge. Make sure to choose an appropriate fuse rating for your amplifier. Insert the fuse into the fuse holder. 6. Connect the ground cable
