PREPARATION
CHOOSING A MOUNTING LOCATION
The ideal location for mounting the amplifier is in your vehicle’s trunk. Wherever
you decide to mount it, choose a mounting location that:
• Does not interfere with the vehicle’s operation
• Lets you drill mounting holes without damaging other vehicle components
• 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.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE INSTALLATION
Before you install your amplifier, carefully read all the instructions in this owner’s
manual. You should be able to answer all of these questions about your vehicle’s
electrical and sound systems.
• Does my vehicle have a 12-volt negative ground system? (If it does not, you
cannot use this amplifier.)
• Which of the amplifier’s wires is the power wire?
• How do I connect a wire to the fuse box?
• Which amplifier terminals are line-level inputs, which are speaker-level
inputs, and which are speaker outputs?
Important!
• Be aware that installation in your vehicle may require cutting or modifying
your vehicle.
• Do not cut any of the amplifier’s wires. If you cut any wire, you cannot obtain
a refund or exchange on this product. Radio Shack will provide warranty
service if you cut a wire and find the product is defective.
