Choosing a Mounting
Location
The ideal location for mounting the am-
plifier is in your vehicle's trunk. Wher-
ever you decide to mount it, choose a
mounting location that:
• Does not interfere with the vehi-
cle's operation
• Lets you drill mounting holes with-
out damaging other vehicle com-
ponents
• Allows enough space around the
cooling fins for proper airflow and
cooling
Warning: The amplifier gets very hot
while it is on. Do not touch the amplifier
or place flammable objects near it
while it is on.
Preparing the Mounting Area
Before you mount the amplifier, make
sure you have all the materials you
need, such as an adapter harness,
additional wire, twist-on terminal con-
nectors, shielded audio cables, and
16- or 18-gauge marked or color-cod-
ed wires (see "Preparing the Speaker
Wires" on Page 18).
Then confirm that the amplifier fits your
vehicle's mounting area.
Note: This amplifier requires a 2
inch (6.7 cm) high by 24-inch (61 cm)
wide by 12-inch (30.5 cm) deep
mounting area.

Routing Cables and Wires
Avoid routing the connection cables
and any speaker wires near moving
parts or sharp edges. You can usually
route wires and cables along the wiring
channel beneath the vehicle's door fac-
ings by carefully removing the molding
that holds the carpet in place. After you
route the connection cables and speak-
er wires, replace the molding.
INSTALLATION ORDER
Install the amplifier by connecting it to
ground and power, your autosound
system's outputs, and your speakers.
You can also connect one or two sub-
woofers to the amplifier, either in com-
bination with your speakers or by
themselves. Then test the connec-
tions, disconnect the amplifier, mount it
in your vehicle, and reconnect it.
Caution: If you do not make the con-
nections in the order shown, damage
to the amplifier and your autosound
system is possible if any wire connec-
tions are made incorrectly.
Note: For easier installation, be sure
to mark each wire you plan to install
with the name of the terminal you will
connect it to.
