Before beginning the installation, consider the following:
1. Do you plan to add additional mobile electronics equipment in the future?
If you plan to expand your system by adding other components sometime in the
future, ensure adequate space is left and cooling requirements are met.
2. Should you use high or low level inputs?
Your Amplifier has been designed to accept Low-Level(Pre-Amp outputs from your
radio) source signal. If your radio/source is equipped with Pre-Amp outputs, it is
possible to utilize them to drive the Amplifier and the 2 front speakers. Then, use the
built-in power of your radio to drive the 2 rear speakers.
3. Are your components matched?
The RMS power rating of your speaker(s) must be equal or greater than the RMS
power rating of your amplifier. Your speaker(s) also must be 2 - 8 Ohms impedance
for stable amplifier operation. Impedance information is normally printed on the
speaker basket or magnet.
4. Where will the amplifier be installed?
Consider both the length of your leads, and routing when determining the mounting
location. It is best to run power and RCA wiring on opposite sides of the vehicle to
prevent induced noise. Pre-amp input jacks require a length of high quality shielded
male to male RCA patch cord.
