Mounting your Caliber Ampliﬁer

Before mounting your Caliber Ampliﬁer you must carefully choose the place

where it can be installed.The ampliﬁer has to have at least 5 cm (2") ventilation

space at all sides, to allow the heat to rise away from the ampliﬁer. Be sure that

the power and signal cables can enter and leave the ampliﬁer in a straight line,

to avoid the risk of malfunction.

The ampliﬁer should be protected from exposure to moisture and direct sun-

light.The best places for it to be mounted are:

• The ﬂoor of the trunk. • Under the driver's seat.

If you've decided where to place your Caliber Ampliﬁer, and you've convinced

yourself there is enough air circulation and protection from unusual hazards,

mark the mounting surface using the ampliﬁer as a template (Placing masking tape

on these surfaces ﬁrst will make your markings more visible).

Drill 2.5 mm (1/8") diameter holes at the marked locations and mount the

ampliﬁer using the supplied self-tapping screws.

Note: Do not drill any holes while using the ampliﬁer as a template.

You can easily damage the ampliﬁer's epoxy powdered coating

in this manner.

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS DISCONNECT BATTERY GROUND

BEFORE WORKING ON A VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

• We highly recommend that you carefully design your Car Audio System before

you start the installation. Make sure that the cables for power and signal are

not on the same side of the vehicle.This will help reduce any noises caused by

the power cable radiating into the signal cables. If a signal cable is too close to

a power cable, it will pick up the magnetic ﬁeld of the power cable, which will

lead to a loss of quality in the signal.

• Always use the largest gauge power/ground cable available, at least 10 mm

AWG). Ask your local Caliber dealer for the Caliber Powerﬂow

ground and remote cables. A guarantee for a safe power management.

• For the protection of your vehicle, always place a fuse or circuit breaker no

more than 30 cm (12") from the battery. This fuse or circuit breaker should

be no greather than the fuse(s) of your ampliﬁer for optimal protection.

For instance: a Caliber CA2010D ampliﬁer has a 80A fuse.Your "vehicle pro-

tection" fuse should be about 60 - 80A. Get good professional advice about the

value of this speciﬁc fuse.

Getting your power started

• First, the +12V terminal is connected directly to the battery of your car. Use

• Second, the ground terminal (GND) must be fastened securely to the chassis of

• Third, the last cable to connect is your remote turn-on (REM). Many radio-cas-

(8 AWG), and make sure that the connectors are of

the same value. Don't forget the extra "Vehicle protection" fuse.

The 12V + terminal should NOT be connected to the car fuse box.

the vehicle with the same gauge cable as the positive cable (the same amount

of power has to run through it). Ensure that all paint, undercoating or any other

insulation is removed from the area where you want to make your ground con-

nection to.

sette and CD-players have an output terminal for connection of the REM of a

ampliﬁer.

If you don't have such an output, a separate switch must be installed to control

your ampliﬁers on/off function.
