Choose a mounting location in that provides adequate ventilation around the amplifier. If
possible, mount the amplifier so ventilation air runs along the length of the fins rather than across
them.
2.2 Mounting Precautions
2.1 Installation Precautions
If you do not have the necessary skills do not install the amplifier yourself. See your local
authorized Aquatic AV dealer for installation recommendations.
This amplifier is for applications with a negative ground, 12V power supply.
Mounting the amplifier in a tight space without any air movement will damage the unit’s internal circuitry over time.
Mount the amplifier on a rigid surface away from subwoofer enclosures or any area that is prone
to vibration. Do not install amplifier on plastic or on any other combustible material.
Check clearances on all sides of the planned installation before drilling any holes or installing any
screws.
Take special care when you work near the gas tank, fuel lines, hydraulic lines and electrical
wiring.
Never operate the amplifier when it is unmounted. Attach all audio system components securely
within the amplifier to prevent damage, especially in an accident.
Do not mount this amplifier so that wire connections are unprotected, in a pinched condition, in
contact with any metal surfaces in your vessel, or likely to be damaged by nearby objects.
Before making or breaking power connections in your system, disconnect the marine vessel
battery. confirm that your head unit or other equipment is turned off while connecting the input
jacks and speaker terminals.
Mount the amplifier so that the panel controls are easily accessible after installation.
If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only with a fuse identical to that supplied with
the amplifier. Using a fuse of a different type or rating may result in damage to your audio system
or your amplifier which is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
