MOUNTING SURFACE
Cooling requirements are considerably relaxed when mounting inside the passenger
compartment since the driver will not often allow temperatures to reach a critical
point. Floor mounting under the seat is usually satisfactory as long as there is at least 1
inch (2cm) above the Amplifier’s fins for ventilation.
a. Select a suitable location that is convenient for mounting, is accessible for wiring,
and has ample room for air circulation and cooling.
b. Use the amplifier as a template to mark the mounting holes. Remove the
Amplifier and drill 6 holes. USE EXTREME CAUTION, INSPECT UNDERNEATH SURFACE
BEFORE DRILLING.
c. Secure the Amplifier using the screws provided.
CONNECTING THE POWER
- 4 -
CAUTION
AS A PRECAUTION, IT IS ADVISABLE TO DISCONNECT THE VEHICLE’S BATTERY BEFORE MAKING CONNECTION TO
THE + 12 VOLT SUPPLY WIRING.
10 GAUGE
(Thicker if planning for additional Amplifiers) wire is recommended for
both the power and ground wires. 20 Gauge, for the remote turn-on wire. Both
types available at most Mobile Audio Dealers or Installation Shops.
GROUND :
To Vehicle Chassis
To avoid unwanted ignition noise caused by ground loops, it is essential that the
Amplifier be grounded to a clean, bare, metal surface of the vehicle’s chassis.
NOTE
GROUND WIRE SHOULD NOT BE EXTENDED MORE THAN 3 FT. (1 METER).
USING THIS METFOD CAN CAUSE TURN ON AND TURN OFF TRANSIENTS (NOISE)
+12 Volt(Fused) Constant Power :
To Battery (+)
Due to the power requirements of the Amplifier, this connection should be made
directly to the positive (+) terminal of battery. For safety measures, install an in-line
50 Amp Fuse Holder (not included) as close to the battery positive (+) terminal as
possible .
With an ampere rating not to exceed total value of fuses in amp.
Remote Turn-On Input
:
To Power Antenna output of Car Stereo
This Amplifier is turned “ON” remotely when the vehicle’s stereo is turned “ON”.
NOTE
IF YOUR RADIO DOES NOT HAVE A +12 VOLT OUTPUT LEAD WHEN THE RADIO IS TURNED ON, “RMT” TERMINAL ON
THE AMPLIFIER CAN BE CONNECTED TO VEHICLE’S ACCESSORY CIRCUIT THAT IS LIVE WHEN THE KEY IS “ON”.
