Installation
Careful thought and planning is essential when installing any piece of
equipment in your vehicle. To ensure proper operation and maximum
performance of your amplifier, ZAPCO
recommends that the
installation is performed by a ZAPCO
authorized dealer. If this service
is unavailable to you, or you wish to do your own installation, the
following guidelines must be followed:
MOUNTING
Always select a dry location in the trunk or passenger compartment only.
This unit must be securely fastened to a solid surface.
Consideration must be given to air flow for proper heat dissipation.
POWER
A #10 gauge or larger wire should be used for power and ground
connections. A fuse must be installed on the power wire within 18
inches of the battery for safety reasons. The size of this fuse will vary
depending on the system configuration. The ground wire should be
connected directly to the chassis of the vehicle. This ground point
should be clean and sanded to bare metal.
Never use seat or seatbelt bolts for grounding!
If you have any questions regarding proper use or installation of this
component, please consult your local authorized ZAPCO
dealer. The
safety of your equipment and your vehicle could depend on proper
installation. If you do not have a local dealer, please contact the factory
directly at (209) 577-4268 between 8am and 5pm Pacific time and we
will be glad to assist you.
