INSTALLATION STEP 4

AMPLIFIER LOCATION
The DaVinci amplifier employs highly efficient circuitry, an internal heat sink and fan cooling system
to maintain lower operating temperatures. Make sure that no debris will be able to fall through the top
plate of the DaVinci.
When mounting the amplifier, it should be securely mounted to either a panel in the vehicle or an amp
board rack that is securely mounted to the vehicle. The mounting location should be either in the
passenger compartment or in the trunk of the vehicle, away from moisture, stray or moving objects,
and major electrical components. To provide adequate ventilation, mount the amplifier so that there
are at least two inches of freely circulating air above and to the sides of it.

MODE SWITCHES
Set the input switches and crossover switches to the appropriate positions (these can be set and
adjusted at any time).
MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIER
a. Using the amplifier as a template, mark the mounting surface.
b. Remove the amplifier and drill the holes.
c. Do not mount the amplifier until all of the wiring is completed.

Run and connect the audio signal and remote turn-on cables to the amplifier from the
source unit
through the access panel on the bottom of the DaVinci.
Carefully run the positive cable from the amplifier to a fuse or circuit breaker within
of
the battery.
Then connect the fuse or circuit breaker to the battery.
Leave the circuit breaker off or the fuse
out until everything is bolted down.
Secure the ground cable to a solid chassis ground on the vehicle. It may be necessary to sand
paint down to raw metal for a good connection.
Run and connect the speaker wires to the amplifier through the bottom access panel.
Double check each and every connection!
Reconnect the fuse or circuit breaker.
Mount the amplifier in its permanent position.

POWER UP
INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING
Power up the system and look in the front access panel of the DaVinci. The red High Power LED
should be lit; there may be a 2-3 second delay from the time the source unit is turned on to the time
that the LED on the amp turns on, which is normal. Once the amplifier power LED is on and the
source unit is playing, you should have sound coming from the speakers.
