1. Installation
1.1 Installation- Mounting the Amplifier
Step 1- Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before mounting the
amplifier or making any connections. Check the battery and alternator
ground (-) connections. Make sure they are properly connected and free of
corrosion
Step 2- Choose a mounting location for your amplifier. Find a location on
a flat surface away from heat and moisture. Be sure the mounting location
and the drilling of pilot holes for mounting will not present a hazard to any
wires, control cables, fuel lines, fuel tanks, hydraulic lines, or other vehicle
systems or components. Common mounting locations are under the front
passenger seat, or in the trunk area. Choose a location with unimpaired air
circulation. The amplifier will dissipate heat more efficiently if mounted
vertically.
Step 3- Use the supplied screws. Place the amplifier in the mounting
location, and mark the positions of the holes with a marker, pen or pencil.
Carefully drill the mounting holes in the marked positions.
Caution!
⇒ Check carefully before drilling any pilot holes.
Step 4- Use the supplied mounting screws to securely fasten the amplifier
to the mounting surface.
1.2 Installation- Power Connections
Step 1- Run a power cable from the battery to the amplifier mounting
location. Use rubber grommets to protect the cable anywhere it has to go
through metal.
TA4600, TA4320, TA2300TA4600, TA4320, TA2300 - Use #8 AWG or larger power
and ground cable.
TA2160TA2160 - Use #10 AWG or larger power and ground cable.
Step 2- Connect one end of an in-line fuse holder to the power cable.
Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the positive battery post with 20
cm (or less) of the same cable. This fuse location will protect the system
and the vehicle against the possibility of a short circuit in the power cable.
Be sure to use a fuse and fuse holder adequate for the application. Do not
place a fuse in the holder at this time.
The maximum fuse rating for each amplifier in the TATA series is:
TA4600 TA4600 -- 2 X 30 Amp TA4320 -TA4320 - 40 Amp
TA2300 TA2300 -- 30 Amp TA2160 -TA2160 - 20 Amp
