COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
TESTING THE
CONNECTIONS
Before you continue, make sure you
have securely made all connections.
Then reconnect the cable to the vehi-
cle’s negative (–) battery terminal.
Set LEVEL (MIN/MAX) on both ends of
the amplifier to its mid position (see
“Adjusting the Audio Level” on
Page 18). Then turn on your vehicle’s
ignition and autosound system to con-
firm that the amplifier and autosound
system operate properly. The amplifi-
er turns on after a few seconds.
If you cannot quickly confirm whether
the autosound system and amplifier
are working properly, turn off your
vehicle’s ignition and disconnect
the cable from your vehicle’s nega-
tive (–) battery terminal. Then re-
check your connections.
After you test the autosound system
and amplifier and verify that every-
thing is properly connected and work-
ing, follow the instructions in
“Mounting the Amplifier.”
MOUNTING THE
AMPLIFIER
Once you verify that the amplifier is
connected properly, follow these steps
to mount it.
1. Disconnect the cable from the
vehicle’s negative (–) battery ter-
minal.
2. To make mounting more conve-
nient, temporarily disconnect the
amplifier’s connections (ground,
primary power, remote power,
your autosound system’s input,
and speakers).
Note: If you have not already
done so, be sure to mark each
wire with the name of the terminal
you will reconnect it to.
3. Using the mounting holes on the
amplifier as a guide, mark the
positions for the mounting holes.
