INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: Proceed only if you are a qualified installer, otherwise; see your Authorized PowerBass
Dealer to professionally install this amplifier. Always wear protective eyewear when using
tools.
•
Turn off all stereo and other electrical devices before you begin.
•
Disconnect the negative (-) lead from your vehicles battery.
•
Locate all fuel lines, brake lines, oil lines, and electrical cables when planning the install.
•
Make sure there is at least 2-inches (5 cm) around the air vents on the amplifier.
•
When connecting ground points, make sure all paint is carefully scrapped away from the auto body
and contact is make with bare metal.
•
Use a utility knife to trim away fabric from hole locations before drilling or cutting.
•
When running power cables through sheet metal, be sure to use grommets to properly insulate the
metal edges from the wire insulation.
•
If possible, use tubing through grommets.
Due to the high power output of the PowerBass Autosound Class D amplifiers, considerable heat may be
produced when the unit is in operation. For this reason the amplifier should be mounted in a location
which will allow air to circulate freely. A clearance of at least 2-inches (5 cm) to all sides of the amplifier
is necessary not only for proper cooling, but also for gaining access to the inputs and other variable
controls. Be sure that the power and signal cable connections can enter and leave the amplifier in a
straight line to avoid the risk of kinked wires causing malfunction.
