Installation
Make sure the enclosure is firmly fixed in your vehicle. Check before drilling
or cutting holes. DO NOT work near fuel tanks, fuel lines hydraulic lines or
electrical wiring.
Amplifiers are generally mounted in the hatch/trunk area of a car or SUV, and
under or behind the seat of most trucks.
Select a location that will provide adequate ventilation for the amplifier.
Secure the amplifier with the screws provided.
DO NOT mount the amplifier in such a way as to pinch or damage the wires.
-
Before you start, disconnect the car battery’s negative cable and ensure it is isolated during the installation.
-
Run an appropriate gauge wire from the battery to the amplifier. Ensure that the wire being used is good quality as this cable will carry a very high current.
-
Find the closest clear metal area to the amp for a ground. Sand, grind or scrape all paint and undercoating from the body and screw the ground securely in place. Test the ground with an ohm meter if desired.
-
Decide where you are ideally going to mount the amp. Once placed, run the speaker wire to the speakers. Make sure the polarity (+ and -) are correctly installed.
-
Connect the power and ground to the amplifier.
-
Connect the power wire to the battery using a fuse capable of the total current load of all amplifiers connected.
Locate the fuse as close as possible to the battery. -
Connect the remote wire from the head unit to the amplifier.
-
Connect the RCA’s to the amplifier.
-
When everything is connected, power on the unit and leave the gain all the way down at first. Start with the head unit volume low and work your way up.
-
Now you can tune the amp. Take your time and make only one adjustment at a time. It may take some time to get the system fully adjusted. During this time, the amp is drawing current from the battery. You should check the battery voltage from time to time and re-charge it if it gets low.
