PRECRUTIONS
Fuse
amplifiers
power
wire
at
the
battery.
Be
sure
to fuse the
power
wire
within
12"
of
the
car's
battery.
This
will
protect
the
car's
battery
in case
of
a
short
circuit
between the
power
amplifier
and
battery.
THIS
IS
A
MUST,
the
amplifier's
built-in fuse
will
only
protect
the
power
amplifier
not
the
car's
battery!
Use highgrade
wire
connectors.
To
ensure maximum
power
transfer
and
secu~
safe connections,
it
is recommended to
use high grade
barrier
spades
(for
connection
at
amplifier
if
applicable)
and
terminal
rings
(for
connection at battery).
Do
not
run
any
wires
underneath vehicle.
Exposed
wires
have a chance
of
being cut
or
damaged. It is best to run all
wires
through
the vehicle under the
carpet
and/or
side panels. This lends to a cleaner
installation
and
less
risk
of
damage.
Use caution whenmountingamplifier.
Remember
there
are
many
electrical
wires,
gas
lines, vacuum lines, brake lines
as
well
as a
gas tank in the automobile.
Make
sure
you
know where they are when mounting the
amplifier
to avoid puncturing lines,
shorting
wires
or
drilling
holes
in
the
gas
tank.
Run
signal
wires
away
from
electrical
wires.
To
avoid
possibility
of
induced noise
from
the
car's
electrical
system (i.e. popping noises
or
engine noise), run
wires
away
from
the
carls
electrical
wiring.
Make
all
ground
wires
as
short
as
possibleand
at
thesame
point
In
order
to reduce the chance
of
ground loops (i.e. engine noise), make the grounding
wire
as
short
as possible to reduce the
wire's
resistance.
Also,
when using multiple
components, make sure all
units
are
grounded
at
the same point.
Rvoid
sharp
edges whenrunning
the
wires.
To
avoid the possibility
of
power, signal
or
speaker
shorts,
be
careful
not
to allow the
amplifiers
wires
to come in
contact
with
sharp edges.
Use
a grommet to
protect
the
wire
when running through the
fire
wall.
