Installation - General
WARNING! Before
driving
the
amplifier
mounting
screws
through
any
surface, be sure
of
what
is
behind
that
surface. Check
for
the
gas tank, brake lines,
and
any
vehicle
wiring
harness.
Never
run
wires
outside
or
under
the
vehicle
or
where
they
could
become
broken
or
interfere
with
the
safe
operation
of
the
vehicle.
Before You
Install
Before
you
install
the
unit,
disconnect
the
negative
(-)
battery
cable in
the
engine
compartment
of
the
vehicle.
Doing so
will
prevent
damage
to
both
the
electrical system
of
the
vehicle and
the
amplifier
during
installation.
Battery
and Charging
System
In
order
for
the
amplifier
to
function
correctly,
the
electrical system
of
the
vehicle
should
be
professionally
checked
for
overall
electrical capacity.
When
used,
the
amplifier
will
increase
the
demand
on
the
battery
and
alternator. Therefore, both
should
be
thoroughly
evaluated
before
installing
the
amplifier
to
ensure
they
are
in
normal
operating
condition
and
able
to
handle
the
increased
demand
the
amplifier
will
present
to
the
vehicle's
electrical system.
Wire
Routing
Do
not
run
the
power
wire
near
any
low-level
signals
or
audio
cables such as
the
RCAs
from
the
head
unit.
Noise can be
introduced
into
the
amplifier
when
this
occurs. It is
helpful
to
diagram
the
wire
layout
first
before
any
installation
is initiated.
Choose
the
Mounting
Location
Plan
your
installation
so
that
the
amplifier
is
mounted
where
adequate
ventilation
is available.
Never
mount
an
amplifier
in the
engine
compartment
of
a
vehicle!
WARNING!
Before
driving
the
mounting
screws
through
any
surface,
be
sure
of
what
lies
behind
that
surface. Check
for
gas
tank,
brake
lines,
and
any
vehicle
wiring
harness.
Passenger and Trunk
Compartment
Mounting
If
the
amplifier
is
mounted
under
a seat, be sure
that
the
vents
do
not
become
blocked. Do
not
allow
seat
padding
or
other
obstructive
material
to
press
down
on
the
amplifier.
All
Boston
GP'
amplifiers
have
top
panel
controls.
If
the
amplifier
is
mounted
under
a seat,
position
the
amplifier
so
the
cover
panel can be
removed
with
the
seat
forward
or
back
to
allow
adjustment
of
the
audio
settings.
When
mounting
in a
trunk,
choose a
location
that
will
be protected
from
sliding
cargo
or
other
materials.
Mount
the
amplifier
to
solid surfaces only. Do
not
mount
to
plastic
trim
panels. Do
not
mount
the
amplifier
with
Velcro,
double-stick tape,
or
by
wedging
into
position.
Amplifier
should
be
mounted
using
the
movable
mounting
feet
and
the
provided
mounting
screws.
Multi-Position
Mounting
Feet
The
mounting
feet
are designed
to
slide in
both
directions
to
clear
installation
obstructions
on
the
mounting
surface.
Venting
(Side
and
Rear)
The
cooling
vents
must
be kept clear
of
obstructions
once
the
amplifier
is installed.
If
the
vents
are obstructed,
this
could
lead
to
premature
thermal
shutdown
or
amplifier
failure.
