out in areas such as the steering wheel, pedals (brake, accelerator and clutch, etc.) may be extremely dangerous.
8. Avoid routing wires above or through sharp edges. Any wire routed through metal must be protected with a
grommet. Route the cables well away from moving parts (seat rails, etc.) and from sharp or pointed cutting
edges. This will prevent the cables being trapped or damaged.
9. Always protect the battery and electrical circuit from potential damages with the help of fuses. Install a fuse
distance should ideally be as short as possible (fig. 9).
10. Prepare the chassis ground by scraping off any trace of paint on the metal surface in order to ensure correct

connection between the negative battery terminal and the vehicle chassis.
1. Setting up the DSA 500 RT
Because the amplifier is so powerful the heat it generates when it operates must be dispersed. The amplifier must
therefore be installed in a well-ventilated area.
Because of the DSA 500 RT's subwoofer function, the product will produce very low frequencies in the passenger
compartment; the ideal place for this amplifier is therefore the vehicle boot, against the back of the back passenger
seats.
Because of the presence of an air port on the left-hand side of your DSA 500 RT, the ideal area for it to be installed is
the right-hand side of the boot of the vehicle so that it does not obstruct the output of low-frequency sounds.
2. Attaching the DSA 500 RT (fig.2)
Position the DSA 500 RT at the desired location and mark
it out.
Turn over your DSA 500 RT and put the two fixing pads
underneath. These fixing pads are designed for fixing onto
the carpet in the car boot.
fixing system will not work.
Put your DSA 500 RT back into the initial position you
chose and press down on the top of the product. Your DSA
500 RT is fixed.
