Installation
Since the power amplifier has no parts which require operation, it can be installed at a position
away from the driver’s seat without any hindrances.
As generally accepted positions for its installation, places such as inside the trunk, etc. can be
considered.
Use the extension cables. (Optional.)
Do not install the unit under the carpet. Otherwise heat build-up occurs and the unit may be
damaged.
Install this unit in a location which allows heat to easily dissipate.
Once installed, do not place any object on top of the unit.
The surface temperature of the amplifier will become hot during use. Install the amplifier in a
place where people, resins, and other substances that are sensitive to heat will not come into
contact with it.
This unit has cooling fans to decrease the internal temperature. Be careful not to block the
cooling fan openings when installing the unit. Blocking these openings will inhibit the cooling of
the internal temperature and result in malfunction.
When making a hole under a seat, inside the trunk, or somewhere else in the vehicle, check
that there is nothing hazardous on the opposite side such as a gasoline tank, brake pipe, or
wiring harness, and be careful not to cause scratches or other damage.
Do not install near the dashboard, rear tray, or air bag safety parts.
The installation to the vehicle should securely fasten the unit to a place in which it will not
obstruct driving. If the unit comes off due to a shock and hits a person or safety part, it may
cause injury or an accident.
After installing the unit, check to make sure that electrical equipment such as the brake lamps,
turn signal lamps and windshield wipers operate normally.
