Warranty may be void if proper installation technique is not used.
Speaker wiring
The warlord X3, X5 is a SINGLE CHANNEL dedicated subwoofer amplifier. Unlike other
amplifiers, the warlord X3, X5 operates as a single channel and cannot be bridged. Don't be
confused by the output. Two outputs are used strictly for convenience and are paralleled
internally on the amplifier. This means that if both outputs are used with one driver each,
the amplifier sees the same load as if the two same drives are connected to only one output
terminal. See the right side diagram.

R = Total Equivalent Load Impedance at Amplifier
The number of speakers that can be connected in this configuration is variable depending
on the total equivalent load impedance at the Dual-Mono terminal.
The maximum is reached when the value of R is equal to 1 ohm.

CAUTION
Always check your speaker load with a multi-meter before hooking up to the amplifier. These class "D"
amplifiers are only 1 ohm stable. Any impedance (load) smaller than 1 ohm will damage the amplifier.
Such damage is not covered under warranty either, so pay strict attention to what connections are
made to the amplifier.

B+ Power Cable
The power cable should be wired directly to the battery using the wire requirements listed in this
manual. Start at the amplifier and run the power wire through the vehicle to the 12V battery. The use
of grommets is recommended when passing the power cable through any metal wall. Avoid sharp
corners or sharp body parts that may easily cut through the insulation on the wire. Avoid running the
power cable over engine components and near heater cores. Use an inline fuse to eliminate the risk
of a fire caused by a short in your power cable. Connect the fuse holder as close to the battery positive
as possible. For most applications, an 350 ampere Maxi fuse or comparable ANL wafer fuse can be
used. Now connect the cable to the battery, but remember to leave the fuse out until all other wire
connections are made.
GROUND
When grounding your amplifier, locate a metal area close to the amplifier that is a good source of
ground ( preferably the floor ).Once again, investigate the area you wish to use for electrical wires,
vacuum lines, and brake or fuel lines. Using either a wire brush or sandpaper eliminate unwanted
paint to supply a better contact for your ground. Use the same gauge wire for ground as you did for
the power. Terminate the ground wire using the correct size ring terminal and attach it to the bare
metal using a nut and bolt. It is important for this connection to be solid. To complete the job, spread
silicon over the screw and bare metal to prevent rust and possible water leaks.
REMOTE TURN-ON
In between the power and ground of the LIB 5000.1D is a remote turn-on terminal. This terminal must
be connected to a switched +12 volt source. Typically, remote turn-on leads are provided at the source
unit that will turn on and off the amplifier in correspondence with the source. If a radio does not have
a remote turn-on, then a power antenna wire may be used. Yet, if neither of these leads are available
at the source, a switched +12 volt supply must be supplied. Run a minimum of 18 - gauge wire from
the amplifier location to the source of the switched +12 volt lead. If possible, route this wire on the
same side of the vehicle as your power wire. Connect the source remote output wire to the REM
terminal on the amplifier using a 3mm screwdrive. Cut the remote wire to length. Strip approximately
1/2 inch of insulation from the end of the wire and insert into the terminal. Tighten the screw securely.

Speaker Output
WIRING
Due to the power output and low frequency bandwidth of the class "D" amplifier the use of 12gauge
wire is recommend. Route these wires using the same precautions as you did when you ran the
power wires. Terminate the wires at the speaker end using insulated speaker terminals or by soldering
the connection. Make sure the speaker connections are positive to positive and negative to negative.
At the amplifier end, cut the wires to the appropriate length. Use a 3mm screwdrive to loosen the set
screw for the speaker output connections. Strip off approximately 1/2inch of insulation from the end
of the wire and insert into the correct terminal. Tighten the set screw securely. Check to make sure
you've maintained proper polarity.
GAIN CONTROL
Next to the preamp outputs on the left panel of the amplifier, is the gain control. This control allows
you to match the input level of the amplifier to the output level of your source unit or signal processor.
Matching the input can be accomplished in three simple steps:
1. Turn gain control all the way down.
2. Turn on the source unit and adjust to 2/3 of max volume.
3. Adjust the gain control until desired volume is achieved without audible distortion
Remember, the gain control is not a volume knob. Ignoring the three steps above may leave
you with damaged speakers and possibly a damaged amplifier.
