Trunk Mounting
Mounting the amplifier vertically on a surface with the fin grooves running up
and down will provide the best cooling of the amplifier.
Mounting the amplifier on the floor of the trunk will work but provides less
cooling capability than vertical mounting.
Mounting the amplifier upside down to the rear deck of the trunk will not provide
proper cooling and will severely affect the performance of the amplifier and is
not recommended.
Passenger Compartment Mounting
Mounting the amplifier in the passenger compartment will work as long as you
provide a sufficient amount of air for the amplifier to cool itself. If you are going
to mount the amplifier under the seat of the vehicle, you must have at least 1"
(2.54cm) of air gap around the amplfiier's heatsink. Mounting the amplifier
with less than 1" (2.54cm) of air gap around the amplifier's heatsink in the
passenger compartment will not provide proper cooling and will severeely
affec the performanceof the amplifier and is not recommended.
Engine compartment Mounting
These amplifiers should never be mounted in the engine compartment, Not only will
this void your warranty but could create an embarrassing situation caused by the ridicule from
your friends.
2. Unit Installation
This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your new amplifier.
Checking your battery and present sound system as well as pre-planning your system layout and
best wiring routes will save installation time. When deciding how to lay out your new system, be
sure that each component will be easily accessible for making adjustments.
Before beginning any installation, be sure to follow these simple rules :
1) Be sure to carefully read and underatand the instruction before attempting to install the
amplifier.
2) For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation.
3) For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting your amplifier in place.
4) Route all of the RCA cables close together and away from any high current wires.
5) Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.
6) Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or
hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.
7) Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle provides the
best protection.
8) Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic gromments to protect
any wires routed through metal, especially the firewall.
9) ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with proper fusing. Install
the appropriate fuseholder and fuse on the +12V power wire within 18" (45.7cm) of the
battery terminal.
10) When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint from the metal to ensure a
good, clean ground connection. Grounding connections should be as short as possible and
always be connected to metal that is welded to the main body, or chassis, of the vehicle.
