INSTALLING YOUR THREE.2 IN-DASH
SYSTEM CONTROLLER
Having absorbed everything in the manual up to this
point, then you probably know we endorse having a pro-
fessional install your THREE.2, as it would be in your best
interest for performance and it will extend your warranty to 5
years. Above and beyond having all of the appropriate techni-
cal know-how and experience, they have lots of cool tools. If
you are still with us and are feeling confident, then read on...
A. Placement and Mounting the THREE.2 In-Dash
Equalizer/Crossover
Placement:
By definition, the THREE.2 in-dash equalizer
was designed to be installed on or near the dashboard of most
cars. However, if you are building a real trick system, like with
a separate audio system in the front and a separate one in the
rear of a vehicle, the THREE.2 is an ideal pre-amp control that
can be mounted in the front and/or the rear of the vehicle.
Mounting:
The THREE.2 is flexible enough to mount
almost anywhere, although somewhere on the dash or in a
center console is the most logical. You will want to be able
to access it while you are sitting in the driver’s seat of your

vehicle. The THREE.2 is designed to be physically mounted
almost anywhere in a vehicle, although it is recommended
to avoid hot spots like the firewall, engine compartment, or
tail pipe. The mounting location must also be safe from water
seepage or areas with bad seals (rubber gaskets, not sleek furry
mammals who eat salmon). If there are old water stains, be
wary of leaks and stay away. We have provided brackets to
assist you in mounting the THREE.2 chassis under the dash-
board or glove box. The screw holes on the THREE.2 chassis
also allow for easy installation underneath a radio or with a
dash kit. It is of utmost importance to mount the THREE.2
securely to avoid any undue stress or breakage from over ac-
celeration or braking.
