deals
with
issues related
to
the

the
system layout
and
wiring
in advance.

phase, please ensure
that
all
the
settings
remain accessible

(fig.A)
3 - To facilitate assembly,
we
recommend
you

all
the
wires
before
installing
your
FSP-8.
4 - Route all RCA. speaker driver,
REM
and
remote
control
cables away
from
the
power
cables in
order
to
avoid
any
signal interference.
5 - Use
quality
connectors
for
the
FSP-8 terminals
to
ensure a reliable installation and
to
minimise
any
losses
of
signal
or
power.
6 -
Before
carrying
out
any
operations,
be
extremely
careful
not
to
cut
or
drill
through
the
fuel tank, fuel,
brake, hydraulic
or
vacuum
lines,
any
electrical
wiring
or
safety
devices.
7 - Never
route
a
wire
under
the
vehicle.
Wiring
must
be
installed inside
the
vehicle
to
ensure
better
protection.
When
routing
the
cables. make sure
they
do
not
impede
your
driving. Cables
obstructing
or
routed
through
areas such as
the
steering wheel and pedals (brake. airbag, accelerator
and
clutch.
etc.)
may
be
extremely
dangerous.
8 -
Avoid
routing
wires over
or
through
sharp edges.
Any
wire
routed
through
metal
must
be
protected
with
a
grommet.
Route
the
wires
away
from
mobile
parts
(seat rails
...
) and
from
sharp
or
pointed
edges. This
will avoid
getting
the
cables
caught
or
damaging
the
cables.
9 -
Always
protect
the
battery
and
electric
circuit
from
potential
damage
using fuses. Install a fuse
holder
and
adequate
fuse
on
the
12V positive (
+)
power
cable less than 15" (
40cm)
away
from
the
battery
terminal. Ideally,
the
above-mentioned
distance should
be
as
short
as
possible (fig.G).

- Prepare
the
chassis
ground
by
scraping
off
any
traces
of
paint
on
the
metal
surface In
order
to
ensure
proper
grounding. The
grounding
connections
should also
be
as
short
as possible
and
ALWAYS
be
connected
to
metal
welded
to
the
body
or
the
chassis
of
the
vehicle (fig.D). The
ground
point

the
one
connecting
the
negative terminal
of
the
battery
to
the
chassis
of
the
vehicle.
