Dear Customer,
Congratulations on your purchase of this high-quality BRAX product.
You may be interested to know that we have been working now for 17 years in the development and production of top-quality high-end hifi components.
Within just a few years, we have succeeded in giving the BRAX brandname world wide recognition. Our efforts in creating these quality products have also been rewarded through the award of various honours by the major car audio magazines, not to mention numerous world wide innovation prizes.
In keeping with the tradition thus established, we have again provided our new BRAX amplifiers with everything they require in order to assume their rightful position as the pacesetters in the market. Offering the maximum possible level of engineering quality, they combine outstanding sound reproduction, solid craftmanship and the noblest of materials to provide a completely new dimension in individuality.
We are proud to offer you this high-end product MADE IN GERMANY. and wish you many hours of enjoyment with your new BRAX amplifier.

Installing the BRAX Amplifiers
In order to maintain the quality of this product and ensure safe operation, we recommend that our amplifiers be installed by an authorized BRAX dealer. Installation by a qualified and accredited technician will qualify you for our special lifetime warranty. Your BRAX dealer will also assist you in selecting the correct additional components and in ensuring that proper consideration is given to all the safety and sound-related aspects.
Important:
Before commencing installation, disconnect the car battery at the negative terminal. Once again we would urge you to have the installation work carried out by a specialist, as verification of correct installation and connection of the unit is a prerequisite for warranty cover of the BRAX by AUDIOTEC FISCHER Germany.
1.
Install your amplifier at a dry location in the car where there is sufficient air circulation to ensure adequate cooling of the equipment. Also ensure that there is sufficient clearance available for making the cable connections and operating the controls.
2.
For safety reasons, the amplifier must be secured in a professional manner. This is performed by means of four fixing screws (see Fig. 2) screwed into a mounting surface offering sufficient retention and stability. Before drilling the holes for the screws, carefully examine the area around the installation position and make sure that there are no electrical cables or components, hydraulic brake lines or any part of the petrol tank located behind the mounting surface - otherwise these could be damaged. You should be aware of the fact that such components may also be concealed in the double-skin trim panels/moldings.
