Instructions
Important Safety Information
WARNING
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other
important information.
This device must be installed according to these instructions.
Disconnect the vessel's power supply before beginning to install this device.
CAUTION
Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100 dBA may cause permanent hearing loss. The volume is
typically too loud if you cannot hear people speaking around you. Limit the amount of time you listen at high
volume. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked.
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling,
cutting, or sanding.
NOTICE
YOU MUST NOT USE THIS AMPLIFIER WITH ANY THIRD-PARTY MARINE AUDIO SYSTEMS. This amplifier is
compatible only with Fusion DSP-enabled marine audio equipment and may cause damage to third-party
speakers due to the amplifier power output.
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
This device is designed for a 12 Vdc power source. Connecting to a 24 Vdc or larger power source may
damage the device.
It is strongly recommended that you have your audio system installed by a professional installer to ensure
optimum performance.
You must read all installation instructions before beginning the installation. If you experience difficulty during
the installation, go to
support.garmin.com/
for product support.
After installing an audio system, you should run the connected speakers and subwoofers at low to medium
volumes for the first few hours of use. This helps to improve the overall sound by gradually loosening up the
moving components of new speakers and subwoofers, such as the cone, spider, and surround. See the
installation instructions provided with your speakers, because there may be more details about the
recommended time for each model.
