MOUNTING YOUR AMPLIFIER

POWERING YOUR AMPLIFIER

Make sure your vehicle’s charging system is adequate 
for the amplifier you’re installing. Amplifiers don’t make 
power, they simply convert the current and voltage you 
give them into wattage. If your charging system is 
insufficient, your amp will not produce its full rated output. If the current 
or voltage supply drops too low, even for milliseconds, damage can be 
caused resulting in amplifier failure. This type of failure is not considered 
a manufacturer's defect. The addition of even a small amplifier will 
increase the demand on your charging system. If you are unsure or have 
questions about your charging system, have it tested by a professional 
technician to determine its capability.

  • Mount your amplifier in a dry, well-ventilated environment. 
  • Before mounting the amplifier be sure the mounting location and 

screw placement will not present a hazard to any cables, wiring, 

fuel lines, fuel tanks, hydraulic lines or other vehicle systems or 

components.

  • Securely mount the amplifier using appropriate hardware so that it 

does not come loose in the event of a collision or a sudden jolt to 

the vehicle. 

  • Do not mount the amplifier to any area that may have excessive 

vibration (like the subwoofer box). 

  • Take into consideration your vehicle’s safety equipment (air bags, 

seat belt systems, ABS brake systems, etc.) and avoid interfering 

with such equipment.
