MOUNTING – Amplifier
Select a location for the amplifier in an area such as the driver compartment firewall, under a seat, etc.
Mounting the amplifier in the engine compartment or in an area directly exposed to weather is not
recommended. Assure adequate ventilation to prevent overheating. Allow clearance for wiring and
radio adjustment. Inspect behind mounting area for clearance. Mark the location of the mounting
holes to be drilled.
Drill 4 holes (up to 1/4" diameter) to mount the amplifier to the vehicle. Install the terminal block plug
and make all electrical connections before final mounting (See ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS – Am-
plifier). The plug is secured with the two locking screws. Then mount the amplifier to the vehicle using
appropriate hardware (not supplied).
MOUNTING – Control Head
Select a mounting location in an area such as the dash or overhead console. Choose a mounting
location convenient to the operator and away from any air bag deployment areas. Inspect behind
mounting area for clearance. Allow 1¾” of depth to accommodate the control head and cable(s).
Consider wire routing and access to connections, as well as microphone bracket placement.
Use template (back page) for marking hole and cutout locations. Connect control head cable to back
of unit and route leads through cutout. Make all electrical connections (See ELECTRICAL CONNEC-
TIONS – Control Head), and then use #6 screws for mounting the control head (not supplied).
MOUNTING - Microphone Extension Harness (“FX” model only)
Select a mounting location for the microphone
connector, verifying adequate cable length.
Allow 1-3/4" clearance behind connector to pre-
vent sharp bends in the harness. Drill or punch a
5/8" diameter hole for mounting. Remove mount-
ing nut and washer from connector. Insert the
connector into the hole and secure it using a 3/4"
socket to tighten the nut. Connect harness to the
control head as shown prior to final installation of
head.
