f. Connect an empty fuse holder within 18" (45 cm) of the car battery and run 8 gauge (or heavier) cable from this fuse to the amplifier location.
g. Connect the fuse holder to the "BATT+" connection on the subwoofer.
3. Connecting using low-level RCA inputs:
a. Locate the RCA outputs on your factory radio or other signal source.
b. Connect the RCA cables from the RCA outputs of your factory radio to the low-level RCA inputs on the subwoofer.
