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 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 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.
