MOUNTING GUIDELINES
POWER CONNECTIONS
POWER CABLE
Your FLI amplifier is designed with a swift installation routine in mind.
Please mount the amplifier in a dry location on a solid surface.
NEVER mount the amplifier upside down as this will cause the amplifier to over heat and will
eventually damage the amplifier.
Before fixing the amplifier in place please ensure that there is sufficient air flow around the exterior of
the casing, at least two inches is sufficient.
• At least 8 gauge cable should be used for the power connection to the amplifier.
• The power cable should be taken directly from the battery. Rubber grommets should be used when
passing through any bulkheads to prevent the cable from becoming chaffed or cut.
• It is vital that a fuse / circuit breaker (of at least equal value to the one fitted on the amplifier) is
placed inline with the power cable and is no further than eighteen inches away from the battery and
must be fitted before the wire passes through the bulkhead / firewall.
• Please ensure that the fuse is not fitted until the entire installation procedure is complete.
• The two tables overleaf are to help you decide on what cable is correct for you. The first enables
you to select the size of cable depending on the length required. The second will help you convert
the cable size from American Wire Gauge to Metric and Imperial if you need to.
