FLI TRAP 10A, Instruction & Installation Manual

Page: 4 / 12

Mounting Guidelines
Your FLI amplifier is designed with a swift installation routine in mind. Please mount 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 in place please ensure that there is sufficient air flow around the exterior of the casing,
at least two inches is sufficient.
Connections
RCA Cables
Please take extra care when running these cables from the source to the amplifier. Ensure that they are placed away
from all items that can generate any interference, wiring harnesses etc.
It is recommended that the RCA cables should be run on opposite sides of the car to the previously installed power
cables if possible, to avoid the cable picking up interferance.
For optimal perfor ff mance FLI recommends using only FLI cable and connectors using any thing less can
seriously compromise the perfor ff mance of your amplifier. see back page fo details
