As a precaution it is advisable to disconnect the vehicle's battery before making connection to the +12 Volts supply wiring
(see owner's manual of your car for further information).

Please use great caution drilling your trunk. Your gas tank and brake lines can be damaged by puncturing with your drill bit –
this could cause damage or failure of your cars operating systems.
•
Never pass wires over sharp angles. It is recommended to buffer the power supply of the amplifier with an additional
capacitor (power cap) min. 1 F to guarantee a stable operation voltage.
High powered audio systems in a vehicle are capable of generating "Live Concert" levels of sound pressure. Continued exposure to
excessively high volume sound levels may cause hearing loss or damage. Also, operation of a motor vehicle while listening to audio
equipment at high volume levels may impair your ability to hear external sounds such as; horns, warning signals, or emergency vehicles,
thus constituting to a potential traffic hazard. In the interest of safety, Consumer Electronics recommends listening at lower volume levels
Before beginning the installation, consider the following:
a)
If you plan to expand your system by adding other components sometime in the future, ensure adequate space is left, and
cooling requirements are met.
b)
If your radio is equipped with preamplifier outputs (RCA), it is advisable to use them.
a)
Select a suitable location that is convenient for mounting, is accessible for wiring and has ample room for air circulation and
cooling.
b)
Use the amplifier as a template to mark the mounting holes, remove the amplifier and drill 4 holes. Then mount the amplifier
with the mounting screws.
