Installation

Before installing the amplifier

WARNING

! To ensure proper installation, use the supplied

parts in the manner specified. If any parts

other than those supplied are used, they may

damage internal parts of the amplifier, or be-

come loose causing the amplifier to shut

down.

! Do not install in:

Places where it could injure the driver or

passengers if the vehicle stops suddenly.

Places where it may interfere with the dri-

ver, such as on the floor in front of the dri-

ver s seat.

! Install tapping screws in such a way that the

screw tip does not touch any wire. This is im-

portant to prevent wires from being cut by vi-

bration of the car, which can result in fire.

! Make sure that wires do not get caught in the

sliding mechanism of the seats or touch the

legs of a person in the vehicle as short-circuit

may result.

! When drilling to install the amplifier, always

confirm no parts are behind the panel and

protect all cables and important equipment

(e.g. fuel/brake lines, wiring) from damage.

CAUTION

! To ensure proper heat dissipation of the ampli-

fier, ensure the following during installation:

Allow adequate space above the amplifier

for proper ventilation.

Do not cover the amplifier with a floor mat

or carpet.

! Protection function may activate to protect the

amplifier against overheating due to installa-

tion in locations where sufficient heat cannot

be dissipated, continuous use under high-vo-

lume conditions, etc. In such cases, the am-

plifier reduces the power output or shuts

down until it has cooled to a certain desig-

nated temperature.

! Place all cables away from hot places, such

as near the heater outlet.

! The optimal installation location differs de-

pending on the car model. Secure the ampli-

fier at a sufficiently rigid location.

! Check all connections and systems before

final installation.

! After installing the amplifier, confirm that the

spare tire, jack and tools can be easily re-

moved.

Example of installation on

the floor mat or chassis

Place the amplifier in the desired instal-

lation location.

Insert the supplied tapping screws (4 mm ×

18 mm (1/8 in. × 3/4 in.)) into the screw holes

and push on the screws with a screwdriver so

they make an imprint where the installation

holes are to be located.

Drill 2.5 mm (1/8 in.) diameter holes at

the imprints either on the carpet or directly

on the chassis.

Install the amplifier with the use of

supplied tapping screws (4 mm × 18 mm

(1/8 in. × 3/4 in.)).

1 Tapping-screws (4 mm × 18 mm (1/8 in. ×

3/4 in.))

2 Drill a 2.5 mm (1/8 in.) diameter hole.

(GM-A6604) / 308 mm (12-1/8 in.) (GM-

A4604)

5 Hole-to-hole distance: 196 mm (7-3/4 in.)
