INTRODUCTION
This instruction manual is for your safety and must be adhered to at all times. Please read and
ensure that you fully understand the installation and set up procedures as explained. If you
are unclear on the installation or set up of your EDGE speakers please contact your nearest
authorised EDGE dealer.
WARNING
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO DAMP OR MOISTURE - doing so may result in fire,
shock or damage to the product.
BEFORE WIRING DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL -
failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury.
ENSURE GOOD AND CORRECT CONNECTIONS - failure to make the correct connections
may result in fire or damage to the product.
DO NOT USE ANY FUNCTIONS OF THIS EQUIPMENT THAT MAY TAKE YOUR
CONCENTRATION AWAY FROM DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE - do not set up your amplifier
whilst driving, doing so may result in an accident. For prolonged setting up, make sure that
your vehicle is stationary and in a safe location.
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL SO YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE NOISE - failure to do
this may result in an accident. EDGE equipment is capable of producing sound levels that can
permanently damage your hearing. EDGE recommends caution when listening at high volume.
For safe and enjoyable listening the sound should be comfortable and clear without distortion.
CAUTION
Never connect any speaker lead to the car chassis. This can cause severe damage to your
speaker /car radio /amplifier.
Before drilling or cutting any holes, investigate the layout of your vehicle thoroughly.
Use caution when working near the fuel / hydraulic lines and electrical wiring.
Observe the correct polarity when wiring, improper phasing may cause a loss of bass
response.
Ensure that no moving parts catch on the speaker or grill (e.g. window or door handles, or
window glass inside the door)
Mounting Guidelines
Your EDGE amplifier is designed with a swift installation routine in mind. Please mount the
amplifier in a dry location on a solid surface. NEVER mount the amplifier upside down, this
will cause the amplifier to over heat and will eventually damage the amplifier. Before fixing the
amplifier in place please ensure that there is sufficient air flow around the exterior of the casing,
at least two inches is sufficient.
Connections
Power / Ground Cable
● The correct gauge cable should be used for both the power and the ground connections to
the amplifier.
● The power cable should be taken directly from the battery. Rubber grommets should be used
when passing through any bulkheads to prevent the cable from becoming chaffed or cut.
● The correct size of fuse must be fitted within 18” of the battery and before the cable passes
through the bulk head
● It is vital that a fuse / circuit breaker (of at least equal value to the one fitted on the amplifier)
is placed inline with the power cable and is no further than eighteen inches away from the
battery.
● Please ensure that the fuse is not fitted until the entire installation procedure is complete.
● The two tables below are to help you decide on what cable is correct for you. The first
enables you to select the size of cable depending on the length required. The second will
help you convert the cable size from American Wire Gauge to Metric if you need to.
● The amplifier ground should be connected directly to the chassis of the vehicle, to bare metal.
● The cable length should be kept to an absolute minimum.
