mounting  and  installation

For  this  reason, 

Your  new  PYRAMID  Arctic  Series  amplifier  comes  complete  with  required  mounting  hardware. 
When  determining  a  suitable  location  in  your  vehicle  for  the  amp,  please  remember  that  it  is  a  high- 
power  electronic  device  capable  of  generating  high  heat.

always  choose  a  location  in  your  vehicle  which  has  low  vibration,   

 

About  power  fuses:

Be  sure  to  mount  the  amp 

Mark  the  location  for  the  mounting  screw  holes 

by  positioning  the  amp  where  you
 

  wish  to  install 

Then

Before  attempting  to  drill  the  mounting  holes,  take  note  of  any  wires,  lines  or  otherdevices 
in  your  vehicle  which  may  be  located  behind  the  mounting  surface!

  Use  at  least  8  gauge  wire  for  power  and  ground  connections.

 
Wire  the  amplifier  directly  to  the  car  battery.

 

For  the  ground  connection,  use  the  shortest  possible  wire  to  a  good  chassis  ground  point.

 

Wire  the  Remote  connection  to  the  auto  start  lead  of  your  head  unit,  equalizer  or  power  antenna.

it  and  use  a  scribe  (or  one  of  the  mounting  screws)  inserted  in  each  of  the  mounting  holes  to  mark 
the  mounting  surface  for  the  mounting  surface.  If  the  mounting  surface  is  carpeted,  measure  the
hole  centers  and  mark  with  a  felt  tip  pen.

When  making  electrical  connections    to  your  amplifier,  please  observe  the  following:

 

Pyramid  Arctic    Series  amplifiers  feature  built-in  fuse  systems.  These  fuses  protect  both  the 
amplifier  and  the  electrical  system  in  your  vehicle  from  fault  conditions.  If  you  ever  need  to  replace 
the  fuse  in  your  Pyramid  Arctic  Series  amp,  use  a  fuse  of  exactly  the  same  type  and  rating.  A 
different  type  or  rating  of  fuse  may  result  in  damage  or  fire.
