Getting Started

Thank you for purchasing the Dual TBX10A 10" ported enclosure with built-in 
amplifier. Although Dual has attempted to ensure the information in this manual 
is accurate, please be aware that any part of it is subject to change without notice.

Please read entire manual before installation. Due to the technical nature of 
amplifiers, it is highly recommended that your Dual TBX10A is installed by a 
professional installer or an authorized dealer.

Before You Start

 • Always disconnect the negative battery terminal. Consult a qualified technician 

for instructions if you are unsure.

 • Avoid installing the amplifier where it would be subject to high temperatures, 

such as from direct sunlight, or where it would be subject to dust, dirt or 
excessive vibration. 

 • Use extreme caution when drilling holes to avoid damaging fuel lines or 

existing vehicle wiring.  

 • All amplifier installations require power, signal and speaker wires (not 

included).

 • An amplifier installation kit (sold separately) is highly recommended to 

facilitate the installation. Consult your dealer for recommendations.  

Mounting Location

 • Choose a mounting location for the TBX10A. Suggested locations include 

behind a seat or in the trunk. 

 • For optimum performance, make sure to provide at least 1" of space around all 

sides of the amplifier.

• Do not mount the TBX10A under carpets or where airflow is restricted.
 • Do not install the TBX10A where it may be exposed to moisture.
 • The optimum mounting location varies between vehicles. Remember to test all 

amplifier functions before completing the final mounting procedure.
