Where to install the amplifier?
The amplifier power is such that substantial heat is generated when it is operation. This is why the amplifier has
to be placed in a well-ventilated area of the car.
2 - Attaching the Amplifier (fig. 2)
The surface onto which you want to attach the amplifier (boot of the car, etc.) may not be smooth enough (due
to bumps, ribs, etc) to make it easy or even possible to fasten the amplifier. If this is the case, we recommend
that you mount the amplifier and its attachment system on a wooden base – i.e. MDF, plywood – which itself
is attached to the surface in question.
Position the amplifier at the desired location. Mark the location of attachment holes using appropriate means
– i.e. an indelible marker, a screwdriver, etc. Make sure that there is nothing below the surface which could
be damaged during drilling – i.e. tanks, bundles of cables, etc. Remove the amplifier, making sure that you
are using a 3mm-diameter drill bit, and then drill. Put the amplifier back into the initial position you chose
for it. Attach the amplifier using the four self-tapping screws supplied. For additional help, see the “General
Installation Guidelines” section.
WARNING
Think carefully before drilling anything. Be extremely careful not to cut or drill the petrol (fuel) tank,
the fuel, brake, hydraulic or vacuum pipes, as well as the electrical wiring.
