2 Fuse Requirements Recommended Fuse Rating f o r TD275 i s 6 0 Amps Recommended Fuse Rating f o r TD2150 i s 10 0 Amps Y ou will need to install an in-line fuse or circuit breaker in the po wer wire within 18” of the battery . This fuse or circuit breaker pr otects y our vehic le fr om fire in case the power wire shorts to the vehic le body .
3 W arning! Amplifiers Generate Heat! Y ou can mount the TU B E D RIVER in any position, even upside-down. However , y ou must maintain pr oper airflow . Do not install your TU B E D RIVER under carpets or enclose it behind airtight panels. In trunk-mounted applications, be sure to provide venting for air circulation.
4 W arning! T o prevent a short to ground, disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the system’s battery before you begin. If the power cable shorts to ground, current will continue to flow until the short is opened, the main fuse blows, the battery explodes, or the wire melts.
5 Follow these simple instructions and refer to the dia gram belo w to make your speaker connections: • Using at least 16 gauge wire, run wire from the speakers to the amplifier(s) using the same pr.
6 Y ou can operate each pair of channels in both stereo and mono (3 channel or tri-mode) at the same time by using highpass filters (bass blockers) on the higher frequency stereo channels, and a lowpass filter (coil) on the subwoofers.
7 Input Jac ks The TU B E D RIVER includes both RCA and Mini-Din (balanced) inputs. The supplied RCA connections allow you to use TU B E D RIVER with other brands of audio gear . Our Diff erential RCA inputs provide a dr amatic improv ement in noise reduction ov er standard RCA input types.
8 Input Gain Contr ol There is an Input Gain Control located on the end panel under the RCA input jacks. This is not a v olume contr ol! This control matches the output signal voltage of the source unit to the amplifier inputs.

11 No Sound Amplifier T urning Down at Normal V olume Do you have 12V at the amplifier ’s connections? Is the W ARM UP LED illuminated? YES NO YES The warm up cycle can take up to 40 sec., Is there sound after that? NO Y ou’re done Is there signal on the RCA ’s? YES NO Does the amp remote (REM) have 12V? Check all connections.
12 No Sound in One Channel Amplifier T urning D o w n at High V olume YES Reverse the left and right inputs. Check the pre-amp (RCA/Mini-Din) cables for open connections and make corrections. Did you find open connections? NO Y ou’re done SOUND IS NO W IN.
Noises While the Engine is On Alternator whine: This noise changes in frequency with engine RPM. Check for: . Excessive input le vel setting on the amplifier . High resistance in cabling or corr oded and/or loose connections . P olarity of the input cables If the problem persists, check the whines and pops checklist below .
14 Noises While the Engine is On or Off System hiss: Distor tion: System hiss is a white noise that occurs even when the engine is of f. It is usually due to excessively high gain settings. If the hiss is still audible when you disconnect the input cables from the amplifier , check the input level on the amplifier .
