Before installing the amplifier
AWARNING
• To ensure proper installation, use the supplied
parts in the manner specified. If any parts
other than those supplied are used, they may
damage internal parts of the amplifier, or be-
come loose causing the amplifier to shut
down.
• Do not install in:
- Places where it could injure the driver or
passengers if the vehicle stops suddenly.
- Places where it may interfere with the dri-
ver, such as on the floor in front of the dri-
ver's seat.
• Install tapping screws in such a way that the
screw tip does not touch any wire. This is im-
portant to prevent wires from being cut by vi-
bration of the car, which can result in fire.
• Make sure that wires are not caught in the
sliding mechanism of the seats, resulting in a
short-ci rcu it.
• When drilling to install the amplifier, always
confirm no parts are behind the panel and
protect all cables and important equipment
(e.g. fuel/brake lines, wiring) from damage.
A
CAUTION
• To ensure proper heat dissipation of the ampli-
fier, ensure the following during installation:
- Allow adequate space above the amplifier
for proper ventilation.
- Do not cover the amplifier with a floor mat
or carpet.
• Avoid routing wires through hot areas, such
as near the heater outlet. Heat may damage
the insulation, resulting in a short-circuit
through the vehicle body.
• The optimal installation location differs de-
pending on the car model. Secure the ampli-
fier at a sufficiently rigid location.
• Firstly make temporary connections and
check to ensure the amplifier and system op-
erate properly.
• After installing the amplifier, confirm that the

Example of installation on
the floor mat or chassis
1 Place the amplifier in the desired instal-
lation location.
Insert the supplied tapping screws (4 mm x
18 mm) into the screw holes and push on the
screws with a screwdriver so they make an im-
print where the installation holes are to be lo-
cated.
2 Drill 2.5 mm (1/8 inch) diameter holes
at the imprints either on the carpet or di-
rectly on the chassis.
3 Install the amplifier with the use of
supplied tapping screws (4 mm x 18 mm).
