A power amplifier’s performance is only as
good as its installation. Proper installation will maximize the system’s
overall performance. It is recommended that you have your product
installed by an authorized technician such as a local car audio shop. However, if you
decide to install it yourself, please follow these safety tips and take
your time to do a quality installation.

-
Fuse amplifier’s power wire at
the battery.
-
Be sure to fuse the power wire
within 12” of the car's battery. This will protect the car's battery in
case of a short circuit between the power amplifier and battery. THIS IS
A MUST, the amplifier's built-in fuse will only protect the power
amplifier not the car's battery!
-
Use high grade
wire connectors.
-
Use Proper power wire size for
maximum current transfer and safety. Improper size power and ground wire
can reduce the amplifiers power and poses a risk of damage to the
amplifier and the vehicles electrical system. Please follow the
recommended "Amplifiers Power
Cable Requirements" to ensure maximum power transfer and
safety.
-
To ensure maximum power transfer
and secure safe connections, it is recommended to use high grade barrier
spades (for connection at amplifier) and terminal rings (for connection
at battery).
Do not run any wires underneath
vehicle.Exposed wires have a chance of
being cut or damaged. It is best to run all wires through the vehicle
under the carpet and/or side panels. This lends to a cleaner installation
and less risk of damage.
-
Use caution when mounting
amplifier. Remember there are many
electrical wires, gas lines, vacuum lines, brake lines as well as a gas
tank in the automobile. Make sure you know where they are when mounting
the amplifier to avoid puncturing lines, shorting wires or drilling
holes in the gas tank.
-
Run signal wires away from
electrical wires.
-
To avoid possibility of induced
noise from the car's electrical system (i.e. popping noises or engine
noise), run wires away from the car's electrical
wiring.
-
Make all ground wires as short
as possible and at the same point.
-
In order to reduce the chance of
ground loops (i.e. engine noise), make the grounding wire as short as
possible to reduce the wire's resistance. Also, when using multiple
components, make sure all units are grounded at the same
point.
-
Avoid sharp edges when running
the wires. When laying wiring inside the car, watch for welding burs in
channels throughout the car. If necessary adequately grind, finish sand
or fill in around any ruff spots so wires will not be punctured by sharp
protrusions.
-
To avoid the possibility of
power, signal or speaker shorts, be careful not to allow the amplifiers
wires to come in contact with sharp edges. Use a grommet to protect the
wire when running through the fire wall .
