SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Fuse crossover’s power wire at the battery
Be sure to fuse (1 amp) the power wire within 12’’ of the car’s battery. This will protect the car’s
battery in case of a short circuit between the crossover and the battery. THIS IS A MUST.
Use high grade wire connectors
To ensure maximum power transfer and secure safe connections, it is recommended to use
high grade barrier spades (for connections at crossover) and terminal rings (for connection at
battery).
Do not run any wires underneath vehicle
Exposed wires have a chance of being cut or damaged. It is best to run all wires through the
vehicle under the carpet and / or side panels. This lends to a cleaner installation and less risk of
damage.
Use caution when mounting the crossover
Remember that there are many electrical wires , gas lines , vacuum lines , brake lines as well
as a gas tank in the automobile .Make sure you know where they are when mounting the
crossover to avoid puncturing lines , shorting wires or drilling holes in the gas tank.
Run signal wires away from electrical wires
To avoid possibility of induced noise from the car’s electrical system (i.e.popping noises or
engine noise), run signal wires away from the car’s electrical wiring.
Make all ground wires as short as possible and at the same point
In order to reduce the chance of ground loops (i.e. engine noise), make the grounding wire as
short as possible to reduce the wire’s resistance .Also, when using multiple components, make
sure all units are ground at the same point.
Avoid sharp edges when running the wires
To avoid the possibility of power, signal or speaker shorts be careful not to allow the crossover’s
wires to come in contact with sharp edges .Use a grommet to protect the wire when running
through the firewall.
