SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Fuse crossover's power wire at the battery.
Be sure to fuse (3 amp) the power wire within 12" of the car's battery.
This will protect the car's battery in case of a short circuit between the crossover
and the battery.
THIS IS A MUST
.
Use high grade wire connectors.
To ensure maximum power transfer and secure safe connections, it is recommended
to use high grade barrier spades (for connection at crossover) and terminal rings
(for connection at battery)..
Do not run any wires underneath vehicle
Exposed wires have a chance of being cut or damaged. It is best to run all wires
through the vehicle under the carpet and/ or side panels. This lends to a cleaner
installation and less risk of damage.
Use caution when mounting the crossover.
Remember that there are many electrical wires, gas lines, vacuum lines, brake
lines as well as a gas tank in the automobile. Make sure you know where they are
when mounting the crossover to avoid puncturing lines, shorting wires or drilling
holes in the gas tank.
Run signal wires away from electrical wires.
To avoid possibility of induced noise from the car's electrical system (i.e. popping
noises or engine noise), run signal wires away from the car's electrical wiring.
Make all ground wires as short as possible and at the same point.
In order to reduce the chance of ground loops (i.e. engine noise), make the
grounding wire as short as possible to reduce the wire's resistance. Also, when
using multiple components, make sure all units are grounded at the same point.
Avoid sharp edges when running the wires.
To avoid the possibility of power, signal or speaker shorts, be careful not to allow
the crossover's wires to come in contact with sharp edges.
Use a grommet to protect the wire when running through the firewall.
