MOUNTING GUIDELINES

POWER CONNECTIONS

POWER CABLE

Your VIBE amplifi er is designed with a swift installation routine in mind. 

Please mount the amplifi er in a dry location on a solid surface. 
NEVER mount the amplifi er upside down as this will cause the amplifi er to over heat and will eventually 
damage the amplifi er. 

Before fi xing the amplifi er in place please ensure that there is suffi cient air fl ow around the exterior of 
the casing, at least two inches is suffi cient.

• At least 8 gauge cable 8 gauge cable should be used for the power connection to the amplifi er.

• The power cable should be taken directly from the battery. Rubber grommets should be used when
passing through any bulkheads to prevent the cable from becoming chaffed or cut.

• It is vital that a fuse / circuit breaker (of at least equal value to the one fi tted on the amplifi er) is
placed inline with the power cable and is no further than eighteen inches away from the battery.

• Please ensure that the fuse is not fi tted until the entire installation procedure is complete.

• The two tables overleaf are to help you decide on what cable is correct for you. The fi rst enables you 
to select the size of cable depending on the length required. The second will help you convert the cable 
size from American Wire Gauge to Metric and Imperial if you need to.
