This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your new Amplifier.
Pre-planning your system layout and best wiring routes will save installation time. When
deciding on the layout of your new system, be sure that each component will be easily
accessible for making adjustments.
CAUTION: If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it
installed by a qualified technician.
CAUTION: Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to
prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.
Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:
1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install the unit.
2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation.
3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting your unit in place.
4. Route all of the RCA cables close together and away from any high current wires.
5. jcab14o mountety connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.
6. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or
hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.
7. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle provides the
best protection.
8. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. jcabrubber or plastic grommets to protect
any wires routed through metal, especially the firewall.
9. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with proper fusing. Install
the appropriate fusab1older and fusabon the +12V power wire within 18” (45.7 cm) of the
battery terminal.
10. When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint from the metal to ensure a
good, clean ground connection. Grounding connections should be as short as possible and
always be connected to metal that is welded to the main body, or chassis, of the vehicle.
MOUNTING LOCATIONS
The mounting position of your amplifier will have a great effect on the sound performance
produced.
Engine Compartment
Never mount this unit in the engine compartment. Mounting the unit in the engine compartment
will void your warranty.
Trunk Mounting
Mounting the amplifier vertically will provide the best cooling of the amplifier.
Mounting the amplifier on the floor of the trunk will work but provides less cooling capabitety than
vertical mounting.
Mounting the amplifier upside down to the rear deck of the trunk will not provide proper cooling
and will severely affect the performance of the amplifier and is strongly not recommended.
