Installation
Installation Notes
The amplifier is generally mounted
in
the rear trunk area but can be mounted
in
any convenient area such as beneath a seat.
Please
be
sure to locate this unit where you have reasonable air circulation and protection from moisture. When considering the
mounting location you should minimize the length
of
the power and speaker leads. Minimizing both leads will yield a more reliable
installation. It is also important to ensure that the heat sink fins are not against a panel or a surface, preventing air circulation. Do
not install the amplifier on a subwoofer box or
on
vibrating parts
of
the vehicle, since the vibrations can cause damage to the
amplifiers electrical components.
Installation of the amplifier
Before starting with the installation, mount the provided mounting brackets on the
amplifier. Mark the location for the mounting screw holes by using the amplifier as a
template. Drill holes at the marked locations as and firmly fasten the amplifier
in
place
with the mounting screws supplied
in
the accessory kit. Before drilling or cutting any holes,
investigate the layout
of
your automobile thoroughly: Take care when working near the
gas lines
or
hydraulic lines and electrical wiring.
Electrical Connection
Ground (GND)
This wire is the electrical ground and must
be
fastened securely to the vehicle chassis. The best method is to use a threading
sheet metal screw since the threads cut into bare metal. Ensure that all paint or other insulationis removed from around the hole
area, and using self tapping screw, securely affix the bare wire ends to the vehicle chassis. Use as short a piece
of
cable as
possible - use the same gauge as was used for the +12V cable. Make sure that the connection is safe and stable.
Remote (REM)
Connect the remote wire
of
your head unit with the remote turn-on
of
the power amplifier.
Battery Connection (+12V Power)
This wire is usually connected directly to the positive battery terminal. Ensure that the + power supply wire is fused via
an
in-line
fuse near by the battery. Please use a sufficient gauge (min 16 mm) with spade lug with insulating sleeve.
Fuses
The integrated amplifier fuses protect the units from short circuit and overload. The fuse rating is for 4 Ohm loads (impedance)
of
the speakers, for
2/1
Ohm loads the fuses may have to get increased by up to 50%/100%
in
case
of
higher power consumption.
