Choose a mounting location in that provides adequate ventilation around the amplifier. If
possible, mount the amplifier so ventilation air runs along the length of the fins rather than across
them.
2.2 Mounting Precautions
2.1 Installation Precautions
If you do not have the necessary skills do not install the amplifier yourself. See your local
authorized Aquatic AV dealer for installation recommendations.
This amplifier is for applications with a negative ground, 12V power supply.
Mounting the amplifier in a tight space without any air movement will damage the unit’s internal circuitry over time.
Mount the amplifier on a rigid surface away from subwoofer enclosures or any area that is prone
to vibration. Do not install amplifier on plastic or on any other combustible material.
Check clearances on all sides of the planned installation before drilling any holes or installing any
screws.
Take special care when you work near the gas tank, fuel lines, hydraulic lines and electrical
wiring.
Never operate the amplifier when it is unmounted. Attach all audio system components securely
within the amplifier to prevent damage, especially in an accident.
Do not mount this amplifier so that wire connections are unprotected, in a pinched condition, in
contact with any metal surfaces in your vessel, or likely to be damaged by nearby objects.
Before making or breaking power connections in your system, disconnect the marine vessel
battery. confirm that your head unit or other equipment is turned off while connecting the input
jacks and speaker terminals.
Mount the amplifier so that the panel controls are easily accessible after installation.
If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only with a fuse identical to that supplied with
the amplifier. Using a fuse of a different type or rating may result in damage to your audio system
or your amplifier which is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

Read all wiring precautions before starting any installation. If you are not sure of the connections,
please contact your local authorized Aquatic AV dealer.
Before you start, make sure the source unit’s power is switched off.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal before doing any electrical work. Always disconnect the
negative (–) battery post first, followed by the positive (+), and when it’s time to go back together,
connect the positive (+) post first, followed by the negative (–). This can minimize the chance
of sparks and voltage spikes, and is a good general practice when dealing with any DC electrical
system.
Bad grounds under are the number one cause of problem installs.
Always use the shortest length of ground wire possible between chassis ground and the amplifier.
Never use a ground wire longer than the one we provide.
A good chassis ground connection is critical to minimize resistance and avoid noise problems.
Clean off any paint prior to making connections. Securely connect the ground wire to the chassis
and the source unit ground.
The ground wire and power wire are equally important; if either one of them is compromised, the
amplifier’s performance will degrade or cease to function.
Always route wires and cables safely, avoiding sharp edges and burrs along the way. Use wire loom
when possible. Check for proper length to both termination points, knowing where each compo-
nent mounts, before you cut anything.
When routing RCA cables, always keep these cables away from the power cables and output
speaker wiring.
Using cables that are too long can cause signal loss and act as an antenna for noise. Use only
high quality RCA cables that are no longer than necessary to make connections between the
source unit and amplifier.
Make sure each connection is clean and secure and insulate final connections with electrical tape
or shrink tubing.
2.3 Wiring Precautions
Improper connections may damage equipment.
Always install a master fuse within 12” of the battery for any additional equipment added to your
installations electrical system. The mini-fuse installed on the main amplifier only protects the
internal circuitry, not the wiring. In the event of a short, failure to install a fuse near the battery
can cause damage to your electrical system or the possibility of fire.
The way speaker wires are marked for polarity (+/–) varies from brand to brand. Some manufactur-
ers use the stripe as positive (+), while others use the stripe as negative (–). Be sure to check the
documentation of each component you’re dealing with before making connections.
Do not open the amplifier. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If you require assistance,
consult your local authorized Aquatic AV dealer.

The AD600.5 requires all six of the amplifier’s RCA inputs to be connected for all five output
channels (front left, front right, rear left, rear right and subwoofer) to have operational output.
If required, please use RCA ‘Y-connectors’ to allow all six of the amplifier’s RCA inputs to be
connected.
Always use high-quality RCA cables for best audio performance.
