Thank you for purchasing this FLI enclosure. It will provide you with years of trouble free usage providing you follow a few simple guidelines.
Run in procedure
FLI recommends that you follow the run in procedure for the subwoofer detailed below.
When your Subwoofer is used for the first time naturally like most brand new items it is very stiff and rigid, it will take time for the moving parts of this Subwoofer to loosen up before the Subwoofer will be ready to deliver its full potential.
For the first 30 hours it is recommended that you play the Subwoofer initially at low to medium volumes, gradually increasing the volume level as time progresses.
As a guide, if you listen to your Subwoofer for 1 hour every day it will take a month for the speaker to run in properly.
You will notice a big change in the sound of the Subwoofer over this period, as the spider and surround begin to run in the sound will get deeper and punchier, also the output of the Subwoofer will increase as the suspension loosens up.
The Subwoofer is like a new cars engine, it needs a few thousand miles before you can drive it to it’s full potential, driving it into the redline from the first day will mean engine damage is certain and will not be covered by warranty and the same applies to the subwoofer
Failure to follow this simple procedure is the most common reason for a Subwoofer to fail after a very short period of time.
Installation
The most common place to mount a bass enclosure is in the luggage compartment of the vehicle.
Where in the luggage compartment it is mounted will have an effect on the sound produced allowing the user to tailor the sound to best suit their musical tastes.
For example if the enclosure is mounted facing the rear bumper, the bass produced will be noticeably deeper than if it is fired into the rear seat.
Do not be afraid to experiment with positioning as a little time and effort can yield great improvements in sound.

Mounting Guidelines
Your FLI amplifier is designed with a swift installation routine in mind. Please mount 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 in place please ensure that there is sufficient air flow around the exterior of the casing,
at least two inches is sufficient.

RCA Cables
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 opposite sides of the car to the previously installed power cables if possible, to avoid the cable picking up interferance.
For optimal performance FLI recommends using only FLI cable and connectors using any thing less can seriously compromise the performance of your amplifier. see back page fo details
