IMPORTANT
Please read all instructions before installation!
The quality of installation is critical to insure that your new amplifier system performs
to its full potential. Also improper installation techniques may void the amplifier’s
warranty. If you have any doubts or questions it is highly recommended that you have
this unit installed by your authorized Oz Audio dealer.
Mounting:
Choosing the appropriate location for the amplifier(s) is important for prolonged trouble
free performance. The location chosen should allow for sufficient air flow, be free of
moisture, and excessive heat. Popular choices would include under a seat, the trunk, or
in a custom rack. Orientation of the amplifier also plays a key role in heat dissipation as
well. The amplifier should be mounted upright. Upside down orientation will compromise
the dissipation of heat through the heat sink causing the unit to enter thermal protection
sooner than normal. Excessive heat build up will also shorten the lifespan of the inter-
nal electronics which can lead to premature failure of the amplifier. To prevent this be
sure the amplifier is mounted upright and 2.5 inches of clearance is allowed around the
amplifier. If this amplifier is to be mounted in an enclosed fashion a fan should be utilized
to aid cooling.
Be careful when mounting your amplifier; thoroughly check the area for electrical wires,
vacuum lines, and fuel or brake lines to prevent accidental or expensive mistakes.
Electrical Connections:
Oz Audio amplifier systems are designed to work within 11.5 to 16 volts DC. As a preven-
tative measure it is highly recommended that the vehicle chosen for installation have its
electrical system tested. First using your digital multi meter (set to DC voltage) connect
the test leads to the battery terminals with the ignition in the off position and the vehicle
off. The DMM should register no less than 12.5 volts. Next check the voltage with the
engine running between 1500 rpm and 2000 rpm. The DMM should register between 13.5
– 14.4 volts. If the vehicle does not meet these electrical specifications, we strongly rec-
ommend that the vehicle be serviced by an automotive mechanic before continuing with
the installation.
Power Wire and Fuse Recommendations:
The proper gauge wire and fuse are critical for proper current flow and amplifier
performance. These are minimumrecommendations and are for distances up to 20 feet.
