PROTECT YOUR HEARING! 

We value you as a long-term customer. For 

that reason, we urge you to practice restraint in 
the operation of this product so as not to damage 
your hearing and that of others in your vessel 
or vehicle. Studies have shown that continuous 
exposure to high sound pressure levels can lead 
to permanent (irreparable) hearing loss. This and 
all other high-power amplifiers are capable of 
producing such high sound pressure levels when 
connected to a speaker system. Please limit your 
continuous exposure to high volume levels.

While driving, operate your audio system in 

a manner that still allows you to hear necessary 
noises to operate your vessel or vehicle safely 
(horns, sirens, etc.).

SERIAL NUMBER  

In the event that your amplifier requires 

service or is ever stolen, you will need to have 
a record of the product’s serial number. Please 
take the time to enter that number in the space 
provided below. The serial number can be found 
on the bottom panel of the amplifier and on the 
amplifier packaging.

INSTALLATION APPLICATIONS

This amplifier is designed for operation in 

vessels or vehicles with 24 volt, negative-ground 
electrical systems. Use of this product in vessels 
or vehicles with positive ground and/or voltages 
other than 24 V may result in damage to the 
product and will void the warranty.

This product is not certified or approved for 

use in aircraft.

Do not attempt to “bridge” the outputs of this 

amplifier with the outputs of a second amplifier, 
including an identical one.
