Bazooka RS8A-hp - Manual (Page 6)

DO NOT substitute the 15 amp fuse included with the Amplified
Bazooka with anything other than the same fast blow current rated
fuse. Substitution or deletion will void the product's warranty and
may cause damage to your car or the amplifier.
The 12 gauge red wire on the 2-pin power plug is the 12 Volt positive power wire.
It must be fused and connected directly to the positive terminal of the battery to pro-
vide a power source with a low voltage drop and low noise. Do not make the
power connection at the fuse block or any point other than the battery. Improper
power sources can reduce output and cause distortion.
The fuse holder should be connected to the battery's positive terminal. The fuse is designed
to prevent fire or damage to your car, should the battery wire short to ground. Wait to
insert the fuse into its holder until all wire connections have been made.
If it is necessary to lengthen the battery wire, add the required length between the
amplifier and the fuse holder, not the fuse holder and the battery. Use 12 gauge or
larger to extend the battery wire. It is best to use as short a wire as possible.
Be sure you DO NOT run the power wire next to the input cables of the amplifier, this will
induce noise.
Avoid running the power wire near the radio's antenna or power leads, or near sensitive
equipment or harnesses. The power wire carries substantial currents and could induce noise.

POWER WIRE INSTALLATION
GROUND WIRE
The 12 gauge black wire on the 2-pin Molex Mini-fit Jr. connector is the negative
ground wire. It must be connected directly to the vehicle chassis near the ampli-
fier. We do not recommend extending the ground wire in any installation, as this
can cause unwanted ground loops.

Please take time to read through this manual and plan out your installation
before you begin!
Locate an area in the rear of the vehicle where you would like to place the Bazooka
speaker systems. The location you have selected must meet the following requirements in
order for the Bazooka to be properly installed in the vehicle:
Be sure that your application meets all of these requirements before you
continue the installation procedure!
1) The woofer (grill end) should be facing
into a corner. (See figures 1, 2 and 3)
2) Ideally, there should be 2 to 4 inches
between the woofer and the corner it is
pointing into.
3) The mounting area should be carefully
checked to be sure that the mounting
screws will not damage the gas tank,
electrical wiring, fuel lines, or the spare tire
during the mounting of the strap bases.
4) The strap mounting bases should be
screwed securely to a rigid surface that is
part of, or anchored to, the structure of
the vehicle.
