SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

 

For the safety of the installer, vehicle operator, passengers and the community 
please observe the following safety precautions.  Failure to follow all safety 
precautions and instructions may result in property damage, injury or death.

AMPLIFIER 

 

The amplifier should be mounted in a location such 
as the driver compartment firewall, under the seat, or 
in the trunk.  It is not recommended to mount the 
amplifier in the engine compartment or in an area 
that would be allowed direct exposure to weather 
elements. Choose a mounting location away from 
any air bag deployment areas.  Assure adequate 
ventilation to prevent overheating 

 

The amplifier unit is provided with a mounting flange that contains four 1/4" holes.  
Using the amplifier unit itself as a template, mark the location of the four mounting 
holes to be drilled. Be sure to check for obstructions behind the mounting hole 
locations.  Drill the four mounting holes and secure the amplifier using appropriate 
hardware (not supplied).  Be sure that all wiring harness connections are made prior 
to connecting the harness to the amplifier unit.
