SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
Fuse
amplifiers
power
wire
at
the
battery
Be sure to fuse the
power
wire within
12ft
of
the car's battery.
This
will protect the car's
battery in case
of
a short circuit between the
power
amplifier
and
battery. THI S IS A MU
ST
.
the amplifier's built-in fuse will
only
protect the
power
amplifier
not
the car's battery!
Use
high
grade wire
connectors
To ensure maximum power transfer and secure
safe
connections, it is
recomme
nded to
use high grade barrier spades (for connection
at
amplifier)
and
term
inal
ri
ng s (for
connection
at
battery).
Do
not
run
any
wires underneath
vehicle
Exposed wires have a chance
of
being cut
or
damaged
.
lt
is
best
to
run
all
wire
s through
the vehicle under the carpet and/or side panels. This
lends
to a
cleaner
installati
on
a
nd
less risk
of
damage.
Use caution when
mounting
amplifier
Remember there are many electrical wires,
gas
lines,
vacuum
lines,
brake
lines
as well as
a
gas
tank in the automobile. Make sure you
now
where
they
are
when
mounting
t
he
amplifier to avoid puncturing lines, shorting wires
or
drilling
holes
in the
gas
tank.
Run
signal
wires
away
from
electrical
wires
To avoid possibility
of
induced
no
ise from the car's electrical
system
(i.e. popping
noises
or
engine noise), run wires away from the car's electrical wiring.
Make
all
ground
wires
as
short
as
possible
and
at
the
same
point
In order to reduce the chance
of
ground
loops
(i.e.
engine
noise), make the
grounding
wire
as short as possible to reduce the wire's resistance. Also,
when
using
multiple
components, make sure alt units are grounded
at
the
same
point.
Avoid
sharp
edges when
running
the
wires
To
avoid the possibility
of
power, signal
or
speaker
shorts, be careful
not
to
allow
the
amplifiers wires to come in contact with
sharp
edges
.
Use
a
grommet
to protect the
wire
when running through the fire wall.
