Before installing the amplifier

WARNING

! To ensure proper installation, use the supplied

parts in the manner specified. If any parts
other than those supplied are used, they may
damage internal parts of the amplifier, or be-
come loose causing the amplifier to shut
down.

! Do not install in:

— Places where it could injure the driver or

passengers if the vehicle stops suddenly.

— Places where it may interfere with the dri-

ver, such as on the floor in front of the dri-
ver

’s seat.

! Install tapping screws in such a way that the

screw tip does not touch any wire. This is im-
portant to prevent wires from being cut by vi-
bration of the car, which can result in fire.

! Make sure that wires do not get caught in the

sliding mechanism of the seats or touch the
legs of a person in the vehicle as short-circuit
may result.

! When drilling to install the amplifier, always

confirm no parts are behind the panel and
protect all cables and important equipment (e.
g. fuel/brake lines, wiring) from damage.

CAUTION

! To ensure proper heat dissipation of the ampli-

fier, ensure the following during installation:
— Allow adequate space above the amplifier

for proper ventilation.

— Do not cover the amplifier with a floor mat

or carpet.

! Protection function may activate to protect the

amplifier against overheating due to installa-
tion in locations where sufficient heat cannot
be dissipated, continuous use under high-vo-
lume conditions, etc. In such cases, the am-
plifier shuts down until it has cooled to a
certain designated temperature.

! Avoid routing wires through hot areas, such

as near the heater outlet. Heat may damage
the insulation, resulting in a short-circuit
through the vehicle body.

! The optimal installation location differs de-

pending on the car model. Secure the ampli-
fier at a sufficiently rigid location.

! Firstly make temporary connections and

check to ensure the amplifier and system op-
erate properly.

! After installing the amplifier, confirm that the

spare tire, jack and tools can be easily re-
moved.

Example of installation on
the floor mat or chassis

Place the amplifier in the desired instal-

lation location.
Insert the supplied tapping screws (4 mm ×
18 mm) into the screw holes and push on the
screws with a screwdriver so they make an im-
print where the installation holes are to be lo-
cated.

Drill 2.5 mm diameter holes at the im-

prints either on the carpet or directly on
the chassis.

Install the amplifier with the use of

supplied tapping screws (4 mm × 18 mm).
