AMplifier Installation
Your FLI UNDERGROUND amplifier is designed with a swift installation routine in mind. Please mount the amplifier in a dry location on a solid surface. NEVER mount the amplifier upside down, this will cause the amplifier to over heat and will eventually damage the amplifier. Before fixing the amplifier in place please ensure that there is sufficient air flow around the exterior of the casing, at least two inches will be sufficient.
Power Cable
•At least an 8 gauge cable should be used for both the power and the ground connections to the amplifier.
•The power cable should be taken directly from the battery. Rubber grommets should be used when passing through any bulkheads to prevent the cable from becoming chaffed or cut.
•It is vital that a fuse / circuit breaker (of at least equal value to the one fitted on the amplifier) is placed in line with the power cable and is no further than eighteen inches away from the battery.
•Please ensure that the fuse is not fitted until the entire installation procedure is complete.
•The two tables below are to help you decide on what cable is correct for you. The first enables you to select the size of cable depending on the length required. The second will help you convert the cable size from American Wire Gauge to Metric if you need to.

ground cable
• The ground cable needs to carry the same current as the power cable. At least an 8 gauge cable should be used.
• The amplifier ground should be connected directly to the chassis of the vehicle, to bare metal.
• The cable length should be kept to an absolute minimum. It is not recommended that you connect the ground cable to the vehicle’s seatbelt anchor point.
Remote Turn On
•A minimum of 18 gauge cable should be used for this connection.
•The cable should be run with exactly the same care and attention as the power cable and taken back to the source (headunit) and joined to the remote cable provided.
•If the source (headunit) does not have a remote turn on cable then a 12v supply should be used. This will require a switch to be fitted inline to enable the amplifier to be turned on and off. Remember that if
this switch is left on you will flatten the car battery.
RCA Cables
• Depending on the model number of your amplifier and the number of speakers you wish to power you will have to run either one or two RCA cables from the source to the amplifier.
• Please take extra care when running these cables from the source to the amplifier. Ensure that they are placed away from all items that can generate any interference, wiring harnesses etc.
• It is recommended that the RCA cables should be run on the opposite site of the car to the previously installed power cables, if possible.
