WE PLAY LOUD!!
We know what you want. You want it LOUD, and that’s
exactly what we do, what we live for. Vibrations,
gut-punches and straight up loud music - that’s what
makes us tick. We won’t dress up in fancy words or
claim to be something we’re not. We are the NO
BULLSH!T car audio brand!
Every single product with the GAS logo on it is born
out of passion, the same that has driven us for two
generations and that will keep us rolling up to your
neighbourhood, winning and pushing the limits for
many generations to come!
It’s up to you to choose your own level of loud, and if
you don’t like what we do that’s OK. You are welcome
We don’t exclude, we don’t judge and we do not make
up any excuses for who we are.
We are GAS and we are proud to be LOUD!

SAFETY

Make sure to pay attention to the instructions when you see this symbol:
Make sure that your vehicle has a 12 VDC voltage negative ground system, that it can
handle an increased power consumption, and that both the alternator and the power
source are healthy and up to the task.
Don’t install the amplifier inside the engine compartment or any other surface that
may be compromised by water or dirt. Your amplifier will produce heat so make sure
it’ll have sucient air circulation (4-5cm open space on all sides).
Keep the cables inside the vehicle separate from sharp edges or components that may
be affected or take damage. Follow the recommended cable sizes and always use high
quality cables and accessories. Even if you are eager to put the amplifier to use – take
no shortcuts when installing the cables, make sure that all connectors are protected
and secured, and take your time finding the perfect grounding point.
Don’t drill any holes without checking what lies beneath, and don’t cut anything
without making sure that no important components risk being damaged.
There’s a first time for everything, if you need help - ask a friend or contact your local
GAS AUDIO POWER dealer/installer.
We want you to experience your products to the MAX, but we don’t want you to injure
yourself or others. Use common sense, respect high pressure levels and volume, and
follow your local laws and regulations.
NO COMPROMISES! Especially when it comes to safety. Before installing your MAX
follow the instructions. Save the manual for future usage and reference!

UNPACKING
We know you’re excited to dive head first into installing your new amplifier, but before you
