WARNING !
High powered audio systems in a vehicle are capable of generating "Live Concert" levels of sound pressure. Continued exposure to
excessively high volume sound levels may cause hearing loss or damage. Also, operation of a motor vehicle while listening to audio
equipment at high volume levels may impair your ability to hear external sounds such as; horns, warning signals, or emergency vehicles,
thus constituting to a potential traffic hazard. In the interest of safety, Consumer Electronics recommends listening at lower volume levels
while driving.
Planning your system
Before beginning the installation, consider the following:
a) If you plan to expand your system by adding other components sometime in the future, ensure adequate space is left, and
cooling requirements are met.
b) If your radio is equipped with preamplifier outputs (RCA), it is advisable to use them.
Mounting your amplifier
a) Select a suitable location that is convenient for mounting, is accessible for wiring and has ample room for air circulation and
cooling.
b) Use the amplifier as a template to mark the mounting holes, remove the amplifier and drill 4 holes. Then mount the amplifier
with the mounting screws.
Warning
Chose a mounting position where all electric wires are protected from being damaged by sharp edges, heat or other conditions. +12Volt
DC electrical connections must be fused on the battery side. Make sure your radio and all other devices will be turned off while connection
your system. If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only with a fuse identical to that supplied with the system. Using a fuse of
different type or rating may result in damage to this system which isn’t covered by the warranty.
