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.

1. Before you start, disconnect the car battery’s negative cable and ensure it is isolated during the installation.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Connect the power and ground to the ampliﬁer.

6. 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.

7. Connect the remote wire from the head unit to the ampliﬁer.

8. Connect the RCA’s to the ampliﬁer.

9. 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.

10. 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.
