Before you start your installation

ZAPCO highly recommends that a fuse or circuit breaker be placed within 18" of the
battery. Although you will add a fuse or fuse block near the amplifier it is still a possibility
that a pinched power wire between the component fuse and the battery could result in
a short, or even a fire. The protection device should be placed where it can be accessed
easily and all wiring should be routed safely and correctly according to the following
guidelines:

Do not run wiring close to hot or spinning objects.

Always use wire grommets when routing wire through the firewall or any other metal
panels.

Make sure that the potential for pinched wiring is avoided by routing all wires away
from moving hinges and seats. This also includes brake, gas and clutch pedals, hood and
trunk hinges, etc.

Continuous exposure to excessive sound pressure levels may cause permanent hearing
loss. ZAPCO strongly advises that you use common sense when setting volume levels. 
If you experience ringing in the ears, it could cause permanent hearing damage!

When connecting our amplifiers to pre-wired stock speakers, care must be taken that
there are no common connections between left and right speaker wires, i.e. two or
more speakers using the same ground connection (very common in pre-85 cars), as this
will cause the amplifier to go into immediate protection or may cause damage to the
amplifier. Output connections are not common chassis ground. Please follow the
hookup instructions in this owner's manual. Any questions should be directed to your
local ZAPCO dealer.
