INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

1. Please read this owner's manual

carefully before installing this ampli-

fier.

2. Disconnect the battery ground

terminal prior to making any elec-

trical connections.

3. Check for any hazards or obstruc-

tions such as gas tanks, fuel or

brake lines, and wiring harnesses

before mounting the amplifier.

4. Pick a mounting location that will

provide adequate access and venti-

lation and protect the amplifier

from heat, moisture, and dirt.

5. Avoid sharp metal areas when

routing cables to the amplifier, and

run RCA cables away from the

power cables and other potentially

noisy car harnesses.

6. The amplifier should be grounded

with a short, heavy gauge wire

connected directly to the car at a

bare metal surface, preferably

scraped body sheet metal. Do not

use factory ground locations, seat

bolts, or brackets that are

spotwelded.

7. Always fuse your power connection

within 8 to 10 inches of the battery

terminal. Use a fuse or circuit

breaker rated slightly more than the

on-board

fuse(s)

amplifier(s). The gauge of power

wire used should take into account

the total current draw of the

system, and the length of wire

used. IASCA and other auto sound

competition organizations have

charts available for this; you can

also find a chart in the MECP study

guide. Minimum wire gauge recom-

mendations for the individual ampli-

fiers are listed on the specification

page. Always use the same gauge

wire for the amplifier ground that

you use for the power wire. Be sure

to examine the battery ground

cable of the vehicle, and if neces-

sary, upgrade it by adding an addi-

tional ground wire that is the same

gauge as the amplifier's power

wire. Remember, the amplifier can

only deliver its rated output when it

is not current limited by the power

and ground supply wires.

8. This amplifier is designed to drive a

speaker load that measures from 2

to 8 ohms. Keep in mind that heat

is the long-term enemy of automo-

tive electronics and the lower your

speaker load, the more heat is

the
