High powered audio systems in a vehicle are capable of generating “Live Concert”
high levels of sound pressure. Continued exposure to excessively high volume sound
levels may cause hearing loss or damage. Also, operation of a motor vehicle while
listening to audio equipment at high volume levels may impair your ability to hear
external sounds such as; horns, warning signals, or emergency vehicles, thus
constituting to a potential traffic hazard.

WARNING
PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM
Before beginning the installation, consider the following:
a. If you plan to expand your system by adding other components sometime in the
future, ensure adequate space is left, and cooling requirements are met.
b. Should you use high or low level inputs?
Your Amplifier has been designed to accept either High-Level(
speaker outputs
from your radio
) or Low-Level (
Pre-Amp outputs from your radio)
signal source.
If your radio/source is equipped with Pre-Amp outputs, it is possible to utilize them
to drive the Amplifier and connecting (
Amplifier
) to the 2 rear speakers.
Then, use the built-in power of your radio to drive the 2 front speakers.
Distortion level is considerably lower from Pre-Amp (Low Level) outputs, than speaker(High Level) outputs.
c. Are your components matched? The peak power rating of your speakers must
be equal or greater than the Amplifier’s. They also must be 2 - 8 Ohms impedance.
(This information is normally printed on the speaker magnet)
d. Consider both the length of your leads, and routing when determining the
mounting location. Pre-Amp input Jacks require a length
(depending on location)
of high quality shielded male to male RCA patch cord.
