IMPULSE 4.320 AMPLIFIER
U s e r m a n u a l
Before beginning the installation, please follow these rules carefully:
1.
After thoroughly reading the user manual, make sure you have understood all the instructions before
installing your amplifier.
2.
Disconnect the battery's negative wire before installation (fig.1).
3.
To facilitate assembly, we strongly recommend you unwind all the wires before installing your
amplifier.
4.
Route all RCA, speaker driver and REM cables, away from the power cables in order to avoid any
signal interference.
5.
Use quality connectors/splicing or good soldering for connecting the amplifier in order to ensure a
reliable installation and to minimise any loss of signal or power.
6.
Before carrying out any operations, be extremely careful not to cut or drill through the fuel tank, fuel,
brake, hydraulic or vacuum lines, any electrical wiring or safety devices.
7.
Never route a wire under the vehicle. Wiring must be installed inside the vehicle. When routing the
cables, make sure they do not impede your driving. Cables obstructing or routing through areas
such as the steering wheel, pedals (brake, accelerator and clutch, etc.) may be extremely dangerous.
8.
Avoid routing wires over or through sharp edges. Any wire routed through metal must be protected
with a grommet. Route the cables well away from mobile parts (seat rails,...) and from sharp or
pointed edges. This will avoid getting the cables caught or damaging the cables which may cause
a short circuit.
9.
Always protect the battery and electric circuit from potential damage using fuses. Install a fuse
holder and adequate fuses on the 12V positive (+) power cable less than 15" (40cm) away from the
battery terminal. Ideally, this above-mentioned distance should be as short as possible (fig.10).
10.
Prepare the chassis ground by scraping off any traces of paint on the metal surface in order to ensure
proper grounding. The grounding connections should also be as short as possible and ALWAYS be
connected to metal welded to the body or the chassis of the vehicle (fig.2). The ground point which
is generally chosen is the one connecting the negative terminal of the battery to the chassis of the
vehicle.
11.
NEVER INSTALL this product in the engine compartment of the vehicle. This will void the warranty.
1 – Positioning of your IMPULSE 4.320 amplifier
Where to install your IMPULSE 4.320 amplifier?
Due to the power of the amplifier, heat dissipation is required for correct operation. For this reason, the
amplifier, particularly the top, must be installed in a well-ventilated area. Avoid covering or embedding the
amplifier in its installed location.
2 – Mounting your IMPULSE 4.320 amplifier
Position your amplifier at the desired location and make matchmarks.
Locate the attachment points on your support using the mounting bracket supplied.
Use screws suitable for your type of support.
3 – Wiring your IMPULSE 4.320 amplifier
CAUTION
If you are uncertain of your ability to correctly install the amplifier and to wire the system up
properly, get a Focal dealer/installer to do it for you.
