Passenger & Trunk Compartment Mounting
If the amplifier is mounted under a seat, be sure that the vents do not become
blocked. Do not allow seat padding or other obstructive material to press
down on the amplifier.
All Boston GT amplifiers have top panel controls. If the amplifier is mounted
under a seat, position the amplifier so the cover panel can be removed with
the seat forward or back to allow adjustment of the audio settings.
When mounting in a trunk, choose a location that will be protected from slid-
ing cargo or other materials. Mount the amplifier to solid surfaces only. Do not
mount to plastic trim panels. Do not mount the amplifier with Velcro, double-
stick tape, or by wedging into position. Amplifier should be mounted using
the movable mounting feet and the provided mounting screws.
Installation—Fuses & Wiring
Installation—Amplifier Mounting (cont.)
Amplifier Fuses
Although the amplifier has internal fuses, additional fusing should be provided
at the battery on the positive (+) power wire going to the amplifier. An inline
fuse should be installed at no more than 18" (46cm) on the positive (+) power
wire. The rating of the inline fuse should equal the value of the internal fuses
of the amplifier if only the amplifier is connected to this wire. If other devices
are connected to this wire, the fuse value should be of sufficient capacity to
handle the demand.
Wire Gauge
The amplifier accepts up to 4-gauge stripped wire at the DC power and ground input terminals, and 4-gauge
is recommended. Wire runs should be kept to the minimum practical length.
