TESTING THE CONNECTIONS
Before you permanently mount the amplifier, temporarily reconnect your vehicle
battery’s negative (
-
) cable, turn your vehicle’s ignition to ON or ACC, then test
the connections.
The amplifier is properly connected to the autosound system and speakers if you
can verify that the amplifier and the autosound system turn on properly and the
speakers’ sound is clear and unmuffled.
If you cannot quickly verify that all components operate properly, immediately
turn off your vehicle’s ignition. Then disconnect your vehicle battery’s nega-
tive (
-
) cable and recheck your connections.
If you verify that all components operate properly, mark the connections to insure
easy identification of each wire, then follow the instructions under “Mounting the
Amplifier.”
MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIER
Before you begin mounting the amplifier, make sure you have the following sup-
plied hardware necessary for mounting.
• 4 sheet-metal screws
• 4 spring washers
• 4 flat washers
Then confirm that the amplifier fits your vehicle’s mounting area.
Caution: Be careful to not drill into anything behind the mounting surface
1. Temporarily disconnect your vehicle battery’s negative (
-
) cable again.
2. To make mounting more convenient, temporarily disconnect the amplifier’s
wiring (ground, primary power, remote power, your autosound system’s
input, and speakers).
