Mounting Instructions
Place the amplifier in the installation
location. Use a pen or pencil to mark
the four mounting screw hole locations.
Set the amplifier aside and drill the
holes for the mounting screws. (Note: If
the surface you are mounting the amp
to is covered with carpeting or uphol-
stery, cut a small “x” in the material at
each screw hole location before drilling
the holes. This will help prevent tearing
or stretching of the material and carpet
fibers from being pulled out.) Set the
amplifier in position and align the
mounting holes with the holes previously
drilled. Put washers on the four sheet
metal screws provided and drive them
into the mounting panel. Tighten the
screws evenly until the unit is solidly
mounted.

Wiring
Proper wiring of the GTS100 and the
associated components is extremely
important for proper performance and
long term reliability. Using the proper
type of wire is very important. If a spe-
cific type of wire should be used for a
certain application, it will be noted.
All wiring connections should be made
either by soldering with heatshrink tub-
ing insulation or with high quality crimp
type insulated connectors installed with
a good crimping tool. Soldering crimp
connections is recommended to further
enhance connection reliability. Never
use wire-nuts, insulation-displacement
connectors (i.e. ScotchLok type), or
“twist and tape” connections. Do not
use electrical tape; it will loosen with
age and extreme temperatures. Never
leave bare wire exposed.
Route the wiring through the car care-
fully. Do not allow wires to lay against
sharp sheet metal edges or any other
surfaces that might wear away or cut
through the insulation of the wire. Use
insulated strain reliefs, rubber grom-
mets and plastic tubing to protect the
wires whenever they are run through
sheet metal panels or are placed where
they might be pulled or damaged.
