This

section

focuses

on

some

of

the

vehicle

considerations

for

install-

ing

your

new

amplifier.

Pre-planning

your

system

layout

and

best

wiring

routes

will

save

installation

time.

When

deciding

on

the

layout

of

your

new

system,

be

sure

that

each

component

will

be

easily

accessible

for

making

adjustments.

h..

If

you

feel

unsure

about

installing

this

sys-

ill

CAUTION

tem

yourself,

have

it

installed

by

a

qualified

technician.

t CAUTION

Before

installation,

disconnect

the

batte

ry

neg

-

~

alive(

-)

terminal

to

prevent

damage

to

the

unit,

fire

and/or

possible

injury.

Before

beginning

any

installation,

follow

these

simple

rul

es

:

1.

Be

sure

to

carefully

read

and

under

s

tand

the

instructions

before

attempting

to

i

nstall

the

unit.

2.

For

safety

,

disconnect

the

negative

lead

from

the

battery

pr

i

or

to

beginning

the

installation.

3.

For

easier

assembly,

we

suggest

you

run

all

wires

prior

to

mounting

your

unit

in

place.

4.

Route

all

of

the

RCA

cables

close

together

and

away

from

any

high

current

wires.

5.

Use

high

quality

connectors

for

a

reliable

installation

and

to

minimize

signal

or

power

loss.

6.

Think

before

you

drill!

Be

careful

not

to

cut

or

drill

into

gas

tanks,

fuel

lines,

brake

or

hydraulic

lines,

vacuum

lines

or

electrical

wiring

when

working

on

any

vehicle

.

7.

Never

run

wires

underneath

th

e

vehicle.

Running

t

he

wires

inside

the

vehicle

provides

the

best

protection.

8.

Avoid

running

wires

over

or

through

sharp

edges.

Use

rubber

or

plas

ti

c

grommets

to

protect

any

wires

routed

through

metal,

especially

the

firewall.

9.

ALWAYS

protect

the

battery

and

electrical

system

fr

om

damage

with

proper

fusing

.

Install

the

appropriate

fuse

holder

and

fuse

on

the+

12V

power

wire

within

18"

(457

em

)

of

the

battery

term

i

nal.

10.

When

grounding

to

the

chassis

of

the

vehicle,

scrape

all

paint

from

the

metal

to

ensure

a

good

,

clean

ground

connec

ti

on.

Grounding

connections

should

be

as

short

as

possible

and

always

be

connected

to

metal

that

is

welded

to

the

main

body,

or

chassis

,

of

the

vehicle.

Seatbelt

bolts

should

never

be

used

for

connecting

to

ground

.

ou

r

warranty.

Trunk

Mounting

Mounting

the

amplifier

vertically

or

inverted

will

provide

adequate

cool-

ing

of

the

Mounting

the

amplifier

on

the

floor

of

the

will

provide

the

of

wi

ll

work

as

long

as

you

provide

a

sufficient

amount

of

for

the

amplifier

to

cool

its

e

lf.

If

you

are

going

to

mount

the

amplifier

under

the

seat

of

the

vehicle,

you

must

have

at

least

1"

and

will

severely

not

recommended.

Battery

and

Charging

Amplifiers

will

put

an

increased

load

on

the

vehicle

's

batte

ry

and

charging

system

.

We

recommend

checking

your

alternator

and

battery

condition

to

ensure

that

the

electrical

system

has

enough

capacity

to

handle

the

increased

load

of

your

stereo

sys

tem

.

Stock

electrical

systems

are

in

should

be

ab

le

to

handle

the

extra

load

of

any

l

ifier

without

probl

e

ms

,

although

battery

and

alternator

life

can

be

reduced

slightly.

To

maximi

ze

t

he

performance

of

your

amplifier

,

we

suggest

the

use

of

a

heavy

duty

battery

and

an

energy

storage

capacitor.

4.

Verify

there

Check

for

and

use

a

to

check

for

possible

Step

4.

Check
