-•Mark
the
holes
for
the
screws
at
the
place
of
installation.
The
simplest
way
to
do
this
is
place
the
amp
where you want
it
and
use
it
as
a
pattern.
•
Drill
the
holes
for
the
fastening
screws
.
•
Secure
the
amplifier
with
sheet
metal
screws.
A
To
avoid short circuits and resulting damages to the device the
negative terminal (ground)
of
the car battery
must
be disconnected
first.
Before reconnecting the negative terminal
to
the battery,
make sure that the amplifier has been completely connected. For
some newer cars,
this
may
require aservice call
to
reset some
functions. Check with your car dealer.
You
should only
use
adigital voltmeter
or
adiode
test
lamp for
checking the voltage applying
at
car cables. Anormal test lamps
draws too
much
current and can
damage
the electronic
system
of
the car.
Make
sure
that the connection cables
are
not
damaged
by sharp
edges. Use rubber bushings for points passing through metal.

Use
heavy
gauge
cable
for
connecting
the
power
supply
and
the
ground
of
the
amplifier.
The
gauge
of
the
cable
depends
on
the
power
requirements
of
the
components
connected.
If
the
gauge
is
too
light,
the
cable
could
burn.
Moreover,
the
increased
resis-
tance
can
lead
to
unnecessary
power
losses.
An
additional
fuse
in
the
amp's
posi-
tive
connection
is
necessary
(fuse
and
fuse
holder
not
included).
The
fuse
should
be
installed
close
to
the
battery.
In
case
of
short
circuit
(e.g.
if
the
connection
cable
is
worn
through)
this
fuse
disconnects
the
positive
lead
and
thus
avoids
dam-
age
to
the
battery
and
prevents
the
supply
cable
from
burning.
The
voltage
rating
of
the
fuse
depends
on
the
power
consumption
of
the
connected
devices
of
the
car
audio
system.
In
order
to
reduce
interference
or
noise
in
the
system,
the
amplifier
should
be
directly
powered
by
the
car
battery.
Do
not
supply
other
electric
loads,
such
as
the
cooling
fan,
windsheild
washer
etc.,
via
the
same
cable
as
the
amplifier.
