Installation
Before you begin installation
Before you begin you need to read the manual, to have
some tools, cables and other material available. There
is one such list of material on the following page.
Amplifier location
Important
Allow air circulation around the amplifier.
2
Disconnect Battery
Before starting the instal-
lation, always disconnect
the negative terminal of
the battery.
The DLS Classic series of amplifiers have a
compact design that allows great flexibility in
mounting. You can mount it under a seat or in the
trunk.
When you select a location, do remember that the
amplifier generates a lot of heat.
Choose a location where air can circulate freely
around the amplifier. Do not cover the amplifier
with carpets or hide behind trim panels.
Do not mount the amplifier in an inverted or upside
down position.
Check all locations and placements carefully before
making any cuts, drilling any holes or making any
connections.

If problems occour during the installation, or later,
this guide might help you to find out whats´s wrong.
THE AMPLIFIER IS DEAD:
1.
Check power lead, ground and remote
connections at the amplifier using a multi meter.
2.
Check the battery terminal connections.
3.
Check the power lead fuse or circuit breaker. If
fuse damage continues, inspect the power lead
for short circuits.
4.
Check the amplifier protection fuses. Are these
broken change to new ones with the same value.
If short circuiting continues, contact your local
DLS dealer. A fault may exist in the amplifier.
5.
To start the amplifier requires a remote voltage of
9-15 volt. Check the voltage with a multi meter.
AMPLIFIER PROTECTION FUSE BLOWS AT LOW
VOLUME :
1.
One or more speaker cables are shorted. Make an
insulation test with a multi meter. The cables must not
have a connection to earth.
THE AMPLIFIER TURNS OFF AFTER 10 - 30 MINU-
TES.
The amplifier is overheating due to inadequate venti-
lation. Check mounting position is free from obstruction.
Do this:
1.
Move the amplifier to a place with better ventil-
ation.
2.
Install one or two fans to cool down the heat-
sink.
3.
Overheating can also be caused by an
impedance load below the level permitted.
NO OUTPUT FROM THE SPEAKERS:
Check the following:
1.
Fader control position.
3.
Speaker cable connections to both amplifier and
subwoofers.
4.
Signal lead plugs and cables.
