SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Safely prepare your vehicle  for the installation before proceeding.

● Turn the ignition off and remove the key 

● Use a packing blanket other soft material to protect your machine 

● Safety Glasses - always wear eye protection 

● Once all of the seats are removed, disconnect the negative battery cable before proceeding

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION & DISASSEMBLY

Before fully dismantling your vehicle, we suggest you prepare all components, speaker panels and wiring. 

It increases efficiency to have everything ready when each component is installed. Seat removal is 

recommended as bus bar access in the center console for amplifier power & ground is important.

 

Please 

note some models with seat belts will require seat belt attachment point removal to remove the whole seat.
