WARNING
Prolonged continuous operation of
an
amplifier, speaker, or subwoofer
in
a distorted, clipped or over-
powered manner can cause your audio system to overheat, possibly catching
fire
and resulting
in
serious
damage to your components and/or vehicle. Amplifiers require up to 4 inches
(1
Ocm)
open ventilation.
Subwoofers should be mounted with at least 1 inch (2.5cm) clearance between the front of the speaker and
any surface.
