• Turn off all stereo devices before you begin.
• Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal
from your vehicle’s battery.
NOTE: check your vehicle’s owner’s manual before disconnecting the battery. On
some newer vehicles, disconnecting the battery may require entering an anti-theft
code upon reconnecting the battery and/or may require resetting the vehicle’s
on-board computer. Check with your local dealership if you are uncertain.
• Check for fuel lines, brake lines, oil lines and electrical
cables when planning the installation.
• When choosing a mounting location, make sure there is
adequate clearance around the amplifier’s heat sinks
for proper air flow. If you are mounting the amplifier
near the radio, never mount it directly to the radio
body, and always maintain at least 2 to 5 inches of
clearance between the amplifier and radio body.
• Avoid sharp metal edges when running power
cables. If necessary, use rubber grommets
to protect cables from being frayed.
• Do not install in a place in which the amplifier could injure
the driver or passengers if the vehicle suddenly stops.
• Do not mount the amplifier upside down. This will
compromise heat dissipation through its heat
sinks and engage its protection circuitry.
