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 is behind that sur-

face. Check for gas tank, brake lines, and any vehicle wiring harness.
