Planning the Installation
Before installing this Amplifier
be
sure you understand the features and how to adjust
and tune the controls for proper matching between the Source Unit, the Amplifier and
the Speaker System.
1.
Amplifier
Location:
The Amplifier should be mounted to a flat surface with
enough space for mounting hardware to be applied to the Four notches
in
the base
of
the product. Find a location for the Amplifier that will allow
adequate ventilation for cooling. Even though this product
is
very efficient it
is a power product and will require some air flow for the best cooling. Make
sure the installation location is
in
a dry area away from possible water or liquid
contamination. Never install this product
in
the engine compartment.
2.
Wiring: Make sure the wiring to and from the Amplifier is protected from possible
short circuit by sharp metal components or metal parts that can damage wiring
when the car
is
reassembled after the installation. Wiring passing through fire
walls or metal sections of the car should have grommets installed
on
them for
protection against short circuits due
to
vibration and age.
Installing the Amplifier

Before You
