SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Fuse amplifiers 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.
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.
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 .
