INTRODUCTION I. Description This device is a high power, audio amplifier. Use it responsibly. Very loud music can cause permanent hearing loss. This amplifier is intended for installation in vehicles with a 12-Volt, negative ground electrical system. Attempting to connect or operate the amplifier in another type of electrical system may cause damage to the amplifier or the electrical system.
Installation Installation- Mounting the Amplifier Step 1- Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before mounting the amplifier or making any connections. Check the battery and alternator ground (-) connections. Make sure they are properly connected and free of corrosion Step 2- Choose a mounting location for your amplifier. Find a location on a flat surface away from heat and moisture.
