Installation
In case you install the DRAGO amplifiers by yourself, please go through the user manual carefully and
follow the outlined instructions.
Mounting Preparation
Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before mounting or making any connections.
Check the battery and alternator ground (-) connections. Make sure they are properly connected
and free of corrosion. Before selecting a mounting location for the DRAGO amplifier, please take cooling
and safety into consideration.
Avoid installing DRAGO amplifier on speaker boxes with excessive vibration !
The DRAGO amplifiers have been designed with a good heat dissipating heatsink.
To avoid excessive heating, it is recommended that DRAGO amplifier is installed in a well ventilated
space
+12V(B+), GND, REM CONNECTION
+12V / B+ (POWER CONNECTION)
Before mounting the DRAGO amplifier, disconnect the negative (-) wire from the battery to protect any
accidental damage to the DRAGO amplifier or the audio systems. The amplifiers are equipped with 0 AWG
or 4 AWG power and ground terminals. Connect the power cables to power terminal labeled as + 12V.
As the DRAGO amplifier is not equipped with fuses, external fuses are required.
Connect one end of the fuse holder to the power cable and the other end of the fuse holder to the
positive battery terminal within 20 cm of the same cable.
This fuse location will protect the system and the vehicle against the possibility of a short circuit
in the power cable.
Make sure that the fuses and the fuse holder are appropriate and sufficient for the desired application.
GND (GROUND CONNECTION)
Locate a secure grounding connection as close as possible to the DRAGO amplifier.
Make sure the location is clean with direct electrical connection to the chassis of the vehicle.
Connect one end of an equal sized cable as the positive cable to the location of ground.
It is important that the ground cable is as short as possible, but no longer than 75 cm.
Run one end of the cable to the grounding point.
Run the other end of the cable to the mounting location.
Connect the ground cable to the terminal labeled as GND.
REM (REMOTE CONNECTION)
Run a remote turn on cable from the switched + 12V source.
This can be a toggle switch, a relay, the source unit's remote ouput cable or power antenna trigger cable.
Connect the remote turn on cable to the power terminal labeled as REM.

A\ CAUTION
: Before attempting to make any connections to power supply, input and output connectors,
i make sure the amplifier is in OFF state. Check polarity of cables carefully as using reversed |
| polarity will cause damage to amplifier. And to prevent power loss and overheating of wiring, |
1 always use the recommended wire gauges.
A\ CAUTION
Installation of the amplifier should be done in the following steps:
1. Ensure that the ground is appropriate, then connect it to the amplifier.
2. Next step is to connect the +12V wire. Ensure all power terminals are used.
This cable has to be fused at the battery for safety precautions.
3. The final step is connecting the switched remote.

Keep GROUND of equal length. This drawing is for illustration purpose only.
We recommend using 12 AWG speaker cables to obtain intended performance.
Run 12 AWG speaker cables from your speakers to the amplifier’s mounting location
Keep the speaker cables separate from the power cables and and the amplifier's input cables.
Use grommets where the cables have to penetrate the vehichle chassis.
Connect the speaker wires according to the terminals on each speaker.
Strip icm, 3/8" of insulation of the end of each cable and twist the cable strands together tightly.
Make sure there are no stray strands that might touch other cable or terminals and cause short circuit.
Connect the cable ends to the amplifier as shown in the speaker wiring diagram.

Troubleshooting
This DRAGO amplifier has protection features to prevent damage from misuse or faulty conditions.
If the unit senses excessive heat, short circuited speakers or overload, protection LED will light up and
system will be turned off. Prior to checking the wiring for any fault, you should turn all level controls
down and turn off power. If the amplifier shuts down due to excessive heat, protection LED will not
light up. In this case, simply allow the amplifier to cool down.
Before removing your amplifier, refer to the list below and follow the troubleshooting instructions.
Always test the speakers and their wires first.
AMPLIFIER DOES NOT POWER UP
@ Check if at least +12V DC is available on the battery power terminal.
@ Check if at least +13.8V DC is available on the remote terminal.
@ Check if a good ground connection is present. Check all fuses.
@ Check if protection LED is not lit.
PROTECTION LED LIGHTS UP WHEN AMPLIFIER IS POWERED ON
@ Check if speaker wires are short-circuited.
@ Remove speaker wires and reset the amplifier. If protection LED still lights up,
then the amplifier is faulty.
FUSE BLOW
@ Check the value of minimum speaker impedance.
@ Check for short-circuits on power cable and vehicle chassis.
OVERHEATING
@ Check the value of minimum speaker impedance.
@ Check speakers for short-circuits.
@ Check if there is good airflow around the amplifier.
SOUND TOO LOW-DISTORTED SOUND
e Check if the input level control has been set to match the output level of the unit.
e Check the volume of head unit.
@ Check speakers for short-circuits.
@ Check if crossover frequencies have been properly set.
HIGH HISS-ENGINE NOISE IN SPEAKERS
@ Check if a good ground connection is present and check speakers for short-circuits.
@ Disconnect all RCA inputs from the amplifier. If hissing / engine noise disappears, replace the
RCA connectors and re-check. Then check the component driving the amplifier.
