XIA3145 INSTALLATION
Preparation
Please read entire manual before installation. Due to the technical nature of amplifiers,
it is highly recommended that your DUAL amplifier is installed by a professional installer
or an authorized dealer.
Before You Start
• Disconnect negative battery terminal. Consult a qualified technician for instructions.
• Avoid installing the amplifier where it would be subject to high temperatures, such as
from direct sunlight, or where it would be subject to dust, dirt or excessive vibration.
• Use extreme caution when drilling holes to avoid damaging fuel lines or existing
vehicle wiring.
• All amplifier installations require power, signal and speaker wires (not included).
• An amplifier installation kit (sold separately) is highly recommended to facilitate the
installation. Consult your dealer for recommendations.
Mounting Location
• Choose a mounting location for the amplifier. Suggested locations include under a seat
or in the trunk.
• The amplifier can be mounted horizontal (recommended) or vertical. For optimum
performance, make sure to provide at least 1" of space to around all sides. Do not
mount the amplifier under carpets or where airflow is restricted.
• Do not install the amplifier where it may be exposed to moisture.
• The optimum mounting location varies between vehicles. Remember to test all
amplifier functions before completing the final mounting procedure.
