INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Wet Sounds Marine Amplifiers are designed for easy installation in your boat. To
ensure proper installation of your new purchase please follow all the suggestions
listed below. If you do not have experience with marine electrical and
mechanical systems contact a professional installer. Paying a qualified
installer is almost always cheaper than paying a dealership to repair your
boat.

LOCATING THE AMPLIFIER

The amplifier must be securely mounted to a solid surface. Please select a
dry location to mount your amplifier. All Wet Sounds products are designed to
operate in humid environments however direct contact with water can damage
the electronics. Do not mount the amplifier to any area that may have excessive
vibration (like a subwoofer enclosure). Position the amplifier in an area that
receives sufficient airflow for proper heat dissipation.

SUPPLYING ENOUGH POWER

Your amplifier does NOT make power; it converts power, or current, from your
boats electrical system and converts it into high power musical energy. If the amp
can't get all the power it needs it will not produce its full output. Your Wet Sounds
amplifier will produce full output longer than other amplifies on the market today.
Should your voltage or current drop too low the amplifier will drop below the rated
output. Make sure your boats charging system is in good working order. Any high
performance audio amplifier will increase the demand on your alternator and
battery. If you are unsure have you charging system checked system testing by a
professional technician.
