ENCLOSURE PLACEMENT TIPS & RECOMMENDATIONS
Your Powerbass Amplified Bass system must be properly placed in the vehicle for optimum performance.
Find a spot under your seats where the enclosure will not get in the way of any moving parts of the seat.
Make sure that the seat moves freely if it is adjustable.
Ideally there should be enough room around the enclosure which is also a heatsink for the amplifier so it
can remain cool.
WARNING: Make sure where ever you choose to place the enclosure it’s a dry location on a solid surface.
Take care that none of the mounting screws will pierce any wiring harnesses, brake or fuel lines, the
vehicles fuel tank, spare tire or any other parts of the vehicle. Some or all of these may be located behind
or under the mounting surface.
