RUNNING THE WIRING CABLES
**Always keep the signal cable and the power cables separated to prevent the
possibility
of
inducing noise into the system**
Carefully run the power and the signal cables through the boat. Always keep all
the wire tight and tied down to prevent the power wire from shorting and reduce
the risk
of
fire. A 4 AWG
or
larger wire should be used for power and ground
connections. We recommend a fuse to be installed on the power wire within 18
inches
of
the battery for safety.
AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS
**Make sure that the +12 volt cable is
NOT
connected
to
the battery while making
any
of
the connections until allthe connections and the fuse are installed**
PowerConnections
The HTX Series is designed for 4 AWG Power wire (+12 V) and Ground wire
(GND).
You
will need to prepare thewire by remove 5/8" on the protective shielding
on the powerand ground wire. Then take a Phillips head screwdriver and back out
the screws on the terminal block. Insert the +12 volt wire into the +12Vside
of
the
terminal block and then tighten the screw back into the terminal block.
You
will
do
the same
for
the Ground wire. See below

REMOTE CONNECTION
This amplifier is designed to accept a 12AWG -16AWG wire input on the terminal
block for speaker outputs 1 and 2. (Diagram A). The Remote Turn-on is how the
amplifier knows when to turn on and off. This is typically connected to the remote
output wire on an aftermarket radio. When connecting this amplifier
to
a factory
radio, you will need to find a +12 volt accessory wire that switches on and offwith
the key.

AMPLIFIER SIGNAL INPUTS
Connect the RCAoutputs from the source unit into the inputs
of
the amplifier. The
HTX
Series has 1 pair
of
inputs for each pair
of
channels (6 channel shown below,
other models will vary).
CH1
CH2
INPUT
CH3
CH4
CH5
CH6
There are 2 different input selection switches.
The first is to designate 2
or
4
channel input.
You
can select 2 channel inputwhen only using 1 set
of
RCAinputs
to allow all 4 channels to have output (CH 1,2,3, & 4
).
The next is to turn on
or
off
the inputs for channels 5 & 6.(See below) Ch 5 & 6 can be carried over from
inputs 1 & 2 when in 2CH mode,
or
a separate set
of
RCA cables can be used
in
6CH mode.
**note
if
you only usethe amplifier
in
2 channel input mode you will not have fading
capabilities between front and rear outputs.**

SPEAKER TERMINAL INPUTS
The HTX Series utilizes removable speakerterminal blocks for easier installations
and stronger power connections. The terminal blocks are designed to accept 12
AWG- 16AWG speaker wire. When preparing the wire you will need to strip 5/8"
of
the cables protective shielding. Then take a small Phillips or flat head screwdriver
and back out the screw on the terminal block. Insert the speaker wire into the
terminal block and then tighten the screw back into the terminal block. (DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN) (See below)

POWER INDICATOR
The amplifier is equipped with a dual illumination LED
on
the top
of
the amplifier
that the Wet Sounds logo badge is mounted on. This amplifier is equipped with an
advanced diagnostic system controlled by a microprocessor.
In
the event that the
unit goes into protection for any reason itwill flash a diagnostic code. The different
sequences indicate the "Code" for faster trouble shooting. When the amplifier first
turns on the LED will flash blue. Once the amplifier is ready for use the LED light
will change to solid blue. Ifthe amplifier is
in
protection mode (over voltage, under
voltage, DC offset, thermal heating
or
speaker short) the LED light will flash a red
diagnostic sequence. See
troubleshooting
section
for
further
detail.
