Mounting
• Mount the amplifi er on a fl at, secure surface.
• Investigate the layout of your automobile
thoroughly before drilling.
• Place the amplifi er in a location that allows air to
circulate around it to keep it cool.
• If possible, mount the amplifi er vertically for
proper heat dissipation.
• Avoid mounting the amplifi er upside-down as
this will not provide adequate ventilation for the
amplifi er.
• In order to prevent overheating, avoid covering
the amplifi er with carpet or enclosing it behind
the interior panels.
• If the amplifi er is installed in a tight area, it must
have at least a 1-inch air gap all around for
proper cooling.
WARNING!
• Be aware of gas tanks, gas lines, hydraulic lines
and electrical wiring when drilling mounting holes
to prevent serious or life threatening injuries.
• Do not leave the amplifi er unmounted in order to
prevent the unit from ejecting like a projectile in
the unexpected event of an accident.
• Do not mount the amplifi er on top of wires or
metal surfaces in order to prevent electrical
short circuit or a fi re.
• Never mount the amplifi er in the engine
compartment.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If the bass package system does not appear to be
working properly, check the following troubleshooting
suggestions.
NO SOUND?
1)
Source unit volume is turned down
or muted: Turn volume up slowly or turn mute off.
2)
Amplifi er may not be receiving an input signal:
Check the output signal of the audio source using
an AC voltmeter.
3)
Speaker wires are not properly
connected to the enclosure terminal: Check speaker
connections at amplifi er and at speaker box terminals,
4)
Blown fuse on the amplifi er: Replace with new
fast-blow fuse (same rating).
5)
Power wires are not
making proper connections: Check battery terminal
connections, Check amplifi er terminal connections,
Use a DMM and check power voltages at all power
terminals.
6)
Speaker wires shorted: Check all
speaker wires and ensure that bare wires are not
touching metal or each other.
DISTORTED AUDIO?
1)
Gain may not be properly
set: Review section (Calibration) for setting the
Gain properly.
2)
Speaker wires may be shorting
out: Inspect the speaker wires from each terminal
connection and along the wire route. Make sure
wires are not pinched or exposed.
3)
Speaker may
be damaged: Inspect each speaker cone for signs
of damage (frozen cone, burned smell, separated or
ripped surround or spider).
