Recommendation:
A power amplifier's performance is only as
good as its installation. Proper installation
will maximise the overall performance of your
audio system. We recommend that you have
our product installed professionally. Should
you decide to install the amplifier yourself,
however, please read through these instruc-
tions carefully, and take your time over the
installation.
Finally, a word about your health: please bear
in mind when playing music in your car that
sustained sound levels above 100 dB can
damage your hearing and may even result
in total hearing loss. Modern high-perform-
ance systems and high-quality loudspeaker
configurations are quite capable of generat-
ing noise levels above 130 dB.
Safety precautions / Instructions for
installation and connection
Fit a fuse in the amplifier power line no more
than 30 cm from the vehicle battery, in order
to protect the battery in the event of a short-
circuit between it and the power amplifier.
The amplifier's own fuse protects the ampli-
fier itself, but not the car battery. Discon-
nect the negative terminal of the battery
before carrying out installation and con-
nection work.
Observe the vehicle manufacturer's safety
instructions (regarding airbags, alarm sys-
tems, trip computers, vehicle immobilisers).
The final stage must be installed profes-
sionally for reasons of safety. The mount-
ing surface must be suitable for the
screws provided, and must provide firm
support. For safety reasons the GTA 2
Spezial should be fixed in a reliable way.
You must not install the GTA 2 Spezial
on the rear shelf, on the rear seats or on
any other surface open to the front.
When drilling holes, take care to avoid dam-
age to vehicle components (battery, cables,
fuse boxes).
Fit the amplifier in a suitable location, e.g.
beneath the seats or in the trunk (Fig. 1).
The mounting location must also be dry, and
provide sufficient ventilation for cooling of the
GTA 2 SPEZIAL
