along the leng th of it s heatsink fins for cooling.

- NEVER mount th e ampl ifier up side down, this will cau se the heat to rise back into the amp lifier

causing ther mal sh utdown or possible perm anen t damage.

- NEVER mount th e ampl ifier in a location that is subje ct to direct sunlight or expose d to moisture.

Precautions: Read First!

- Be sure to mount the amplifier to a strong, solid surf ace wh ich wi ll not g ive wa y under the stress of a

sudden stop or accident.

- Make sure that the mounting screws will not pe netr ate th e gas ta nk, br ake an d fuel lines, wiring or

Usi ng oth er tha n the re comm ended fuse ratings at the battery and at the amplifier may cause damage to the amp lifi er and w ill vo id you r warranty.

- Do not run wiring underneath or outsid e the ca r sinc e expo sure t o the el ements may cause the

insulation to deteriorate rapidl y, res ulti ng in sh ort- circ uits and/or intermittent operation. All cables should be run beneath carpe ts and i nsid e trim p iece s.

- To help m inim ize interference, it is best to run the power cables along the opposite side from the

audio cables.

- Whenever wires pass through metal, rubbe r or pla stic g romm ets mu st be us ed to prevent the metal

from wearing through the installation an d caus ing a sh ort.

- Whenever possible, use cable ties, mount ing cl amps a nd sim ilar w iring aids. Adding stress relief loops to wiring is also advisable to pre vent s trai ning o r brea kage.
