Installing
your FPX amplifier
Installing
this product requires technical skill and experience.
If
you
are not sure of your ability
to
install the
amplifier, entrust this task to a Focal dealer
in
order
to
take full advantage of everything your FPX amplifier
can
do.
Cabling
your FPX amplifier
Only
use the connection points specified in the
user
manual
and the accessories supplied.
The speaker cable
must
ONLY
be
used to connect the
amplifier
to the speakers. The gauge of the
power
cables
must
match
that
shown in the table [paragraph 3.1]. This gauge depends
on
the
power
of the
amplifier
and the cable length
required. Use double
or
triple
shielded
RCA
cables to prevent any interference to the
low
level signal.
Operating time for your FPX amplifier
Avoid using the
amplifier
for
extended periods
without
starting
the vehicle. This can lead to flattening the battery.
Ventilation
It is essential to leave the
upper
part
of
your
FPX
amplifier
uncovered to prevent overheating.
