  • Page 12: Installation

    WARNING: Do not mount any amplifier on a subwoofer enclosure as extended exposure to vibration may cause malfunction of the amplifier. To avoid scratching your new FUSION Amplifier, pre-drill the mounting holes with either a 3mm or 9/64” diameter drill bit and use the screws supplied in the accessory kit.

  • Page 13: Wiring

    FUSION product being damaged. FUSION will not warranty damaged amplifiers due to incorrect installation. When wiring the FUSION amplifiers, ensure that the wires are away from sharp objects and that rubber grommets and insulated bungs are used when wiring through door jams and any other steel panels.

  • Page 14: Connection

    Use a fuse or circuit breaker of equal value as that found on the chassis of your FUSION amplifier. You may now connect the cable to the battery, but remember to leave the fuse out or circuit breaker off until all other cable connections are made.
  • Page 15 GROUND When grounding your FUSION Amplifier locate a metal area close to the amplifier that is a good source of ground (preferably the floor pan). Once again, investigate the area you wish to use for electrical wires, vacuum lines, and brake or fuel lines. Use either a wire brush or sandpaper to eliminate unwanted paint.
  • Page 16 Keep in mind, FUSION Encounter series are high power amplifiers and not high current amplifiers. In other words they require a minimum impedance of 2 ohms STEREO and 4 ohms bridged MONO to operate trouble free. Too low an impedance could send your FUSION amplifier into protection mode and/or damage the amplifier.
  • Page 17 Choose the correct length and style of RCA interconnects for your needs. The FUSION range of RCA’s gives you a wide choice to suit your needs. These have multiple layers of shielding or are a twisted pair variety for better noise rejection (consult your FUSION dealer if unsure which to purchase).
