Installation
! CAUTION
• Do not install in:
– Places where it could injure the driver or passengers if the vehicle stops suddenly.
– Places where it may interfere with the driver, such as on the floor in front of the driver’s
seat.
• Make sure that wires are not caught in the sliding mechanism of the seats, resulting in a
short-circuit.
• Confirm that no parts are behind the panel when drilling a hole for installation of the amplifier.
Protect all cables and important equipment such as fuel lines, brake lines and electrical
wiring from damage.
• Install tapping screws in such a way that the screw tip does not touch any wire. This is
important to prevent wires from being cut by vibration of the car, which can result in fire.
• DO NOT allow amplifier to come into contact with liquids due to, for example, the location
where the amplifier is installed. Electrical shock could result. Also, amplifier and speaker
damage, smoke, and overheating could result from contact with liquids. In addition, the
amplifier surface and the surface of any attached speakers could become hot to the touch
and minor burns could result.
• To ensure proper installation, use the supplied parts in the manner specified. If any parts
other than the supplied ones are used, they may damage internal parts of the amplifier, or
they may become loose causing the amplifier to shut down.
• Never replace the fuse with one of greater value or rating than the original fuse. Use of an
improper fuse could result in overheating and smoke and could cause damage to the
product and injury including burns.
! CAUTION:
To prevent malfunction and/or injury
• To ensure proper heat dissipation of the amplifier, be sure of the following during installation.
– Allow adequate space above the amplifier for proper ventilation.
– Do not cover the amplifier with a floor mat or carpet.
• DO NOT allow amplifier to come into contact with liquids due to, for example, the location
where the amplifier is installed. Electrical shock could result. Also, amplifier and speaker
damage, smoke, and overheating could result from contact with liquids. In addition, the
amplifier surface and the surface of any attached speakers could become hot to the touch
and minor burns could result.
• Do not install the amplifier on unstable places such as the spare tire board.
• The best location for installation differs with the car model and installation location. Secure
the amplifier at a sufficiently rigid location.
• Make temporary connections first and check that the amplifier and the system operate
properly.
• After installing the amplifier, confirm that the spare tire, jack and tools can be easily
removed.
Example of installation on the floor mat or on the
chassis
1. Place the amplifier where it is to be installed. Insert the supplied tapping screws
(4 x 18 mm) into the screw holes. Push on the screws with a screwdriver so they
make marks where the installation holes are to be located.
2. Drill 2.5 mm diameter holes at the point marked, and install the amplifier, either
on the carpet or directly to the chassis.
Replacing the terminal cover
1. Align the unit and terminal cover, and insert the screw.
2. Tighten the screw with a 4 mm hexagonal wrench.
