INSTALLATION (Fig. 1 - Fig. 4)
With this series of amplifiers, up to three units can be stacked together in a typical installation. Depending on the
number of units you wish to install, refer to instructions A to C below.
CAUTION
◆ Caution on connection terminals/parts
Keep electrically conductive objects away from the unit's terminals/parts (power terminals, fuses, speaker
output terminals, RCA connectors, etc.). Doing so prevents a possible short circuit and damage to the unit.
Note:
Stack installation should always be parallel to the vehicle floor – do not install at an incline, such as leaning against a
vertical surface, as this will invalidate your warranty.

Preparation for installation

1. Using the amplifier as a template, mark the four screw locations.
2. Make sure there are no objects behind the surface that may become damaged during drilling.
3. Drill the screw holes.
4. Position the PDX-M12GC over the screw holes, and secure with four self-tapping screws.
NOTE:
To securely connect the ground lead, use an already installed screw on the metal part of the vehicle (marked ★). Be sure
this is a good ground by checking continuity to the battery (–) terminal. As much as possible connect all equipment to the
same ground point. These procedures will help eliminate noise.
A. Single unit installation
1. Position the unit over the screw holes you prepared earlier.
2. Remove the Top Cover by inserting a flat-tipped instrument (such as a panel removal tool or slotted
screwdriver) into the 2 notches of the unit (marked A). If removal is still not possible, bend the Top Cover and
remove the tabs on both sides. Refer to Fig. 1.
3. Fasten the unit down with the four self-tapping screws (M4 x 36, supplied).Refer to Fig. 2.
4. Attach the Top Cover.
B. Stack installation of two units
1. Firstly, securely install one unit, as described in steps 1-3 of A above.
2. Attach the Stacking Plates (Supplied) on the first unit with Machine Screws M3 x 7 (Supplied). Refer to Fig. 3.
3. Stack the second unit on top of the installed unit.
4. Attach the second unit with four Machine Screws M4 x 24 (Supplied). Refer to Fig. 4.
5. Attach the Top Cover to the second unit.
C. Stack installation of three units
1. Firstly, securely install the first two units firmly as described in steps 1 to 4 of B above.
2. Next, install the third unit as described for the second unit in B above. With this, stack installation of the 3
units is completed.
