Installation

B efore you begin the installation of your DUB Edition series amp remember, there
are two ways to do things – right and twice! Use the proper installation
techniques, tools and accessories to ensure that o
amp will put out all the power it was designed to. If necessary, seek a
professional installer to have the amplifier installed correctly. Most mobile amp
installations do not have the proper gauge wire for power and ground – do not
let your amp be a victim of this common installation oversight!

DUB Edition ries
going to the vehicle chassis) and make sure the battery is grounded to the
chassis with at least a # 4 gauge wire. Also check the alternator connections,
making sure they are tight and free from corrosion, rust or dirt.

L ocation and M ounting

The amplifier's compact design allows great flexibility in mounting. Common
mounting locations include under the front passenger seat or in the trunk area.
When selecting a location, remember that amplifiers generate heat. Select a
location on a flat surface away from heat and moisture where air can circulate
around the amplifier.
Place the amplifier in the mounting location and mark the positions of the holes
with a marker, pen or pencil. Carefully drill the mounting holes in the marked
positions, then use the supplied mounting screws to securely fasten the
amplifier to the mounting surface.
