INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
1. Read this manual carefully and in
its entirety before installing this
equalizer.
2. Always disconnect the battery or
remove the fuses for circuits you
will be working on.
3. Check for clearance of any hazards
such as wiring harnesses or heater
core before mounting the equalizer
to any panels in the vehicle.
4. Mount the equalizer in a location
that is easy to access and won't be
distracting to vehicle operation
while making adjustments.
5. Route all power wires and audio
cables away from sharp metal
edges that can cause shorts to
ground and any moving parts that
can tangle the wires such as heater
controls or wiper motors.
6. Route all power and signal cables
as far as possible from other vehicle
wiring harnesses. Loom when
appropriate.
7. It is recommended that the equal-
izer be grounded directly to the
chassis of the Source 1 head unit.
The Source 1 head unit should be
grounded at a chassis point (prefer-
ably bare or scraped sheet metal)
other than the factory head unit
ground wire or under dash brackets.
8. Use only the supplied machine
screws to mount the equalizer or
damage to the circuitry could occur.
