SAFEGUARDS

Please take the time to read this Owners Manual. 

The following guidelines are designed to assure a safe and

properly installed Xtant Mobile Audio System

.

All Xtant amplifiers and accessories are intended to be installed by a certified
professional mobile audio installation specialist. It is the recommendation of
Xtant Technologies that your new Xtant product(s) and all of your mobile
audio products be installed by your Authorized Xtant Select Dealer.

Installer’s Reference (insert)

The Installer’s Reference is an insert included in this manual. It is designed to
assist your Authorized Xtant Select Dealer’s professional installer.
Installation techniques critical to the creation of a high-performance mobile
audio sound system, (procedures for running wires, basic safety rules, and
system layout concepts) are not presented in this owners manual. All
Authorized Xtant Select Dealers have been chosen for their expertise in sys-
tem design and advanced installation capabilities and Xtant highly recom-
mends that you have all of your mobile audio products professionally
installed. If, however, you choose to install your Xtant amplifier yourself,
please refer to the Installer’s Reference prior to installation.

Wiring Requirements

All Xtant amplifiers have minimum wire gauge requirements for Power,
Ground, Remote Turn-On, and Speaker cables. Please refer to the Installer’s
Reference for recommended wire gauges.

Fusing Requirements

All Xtant amplifiers have on-board power fuses. However, it is recommend-
ed that a fuse of like value be installed at the positive terminal of the battery.
In the case of a multi-amp system, use a fuse value equal to the combined
value of all (system amplifier’s) on-board power fuses.

Water and Moisture

Install all Xtant amplifiers and accessories in a location free of

moisture or exposure to water.
