7. Mechanical installation
Any changes to the vehicle necessary for the installation of the subwoofer or other components
must be carried out in such a way that neither traffic safety nor the stability of the vehicle are
affected. With many cars, the operating licence will lapse if a part of sheet metal is cut out.
If you are in doubt as to the place of installation, consult your car dealer.
As the subwoofer generates heat, the place of installation must not be sensitive to heat.
To ensure proper ventilation, keep a distance of 5 cm around the casing of the subwoofer. In
addition, air circulation must not be obstructed by objects such as magazines, blankets,
covers, or similar.
Before drilling attachment holes, make sure that no electric cables, brake lines, the fuel tank or
similar are damaged.
When you use tools to install your car hi-fi components, observe the manufacturer’s safety
instructions.
When installing the car hi-fi system, bear in mind that torn-off pieces may pose a risk of
accident. Therefore, fasten each part securely in a location where it will not pose a risk to the
passengers.
Select a suitable place of installation for the subwoofer.
A suitable place of installation has the following features:
•
dry
• as dust-free as possible
• little vibration
• good air circulation
• an environment which is not sensitive to heat
The boot or the space under the seats is good places of installation. Make sure that the subwoofer remains accessible
so that it can be connected to the electrical system.
•
Attach the subwoofer with Velcro strips, straps or similar fasteners. The fasteners must be designed to bear the
load of the subwoofer in case of an emergency braking or an accident.
Install the provided volume remote control in the dashboard area where it can be easily accessed by the driver.
Do not place the volume remote control within the range of an airbag.
