Connecting the units Installation 1 Terminal screws 2 Speaker wires 3 Speaker output terminals Before installing the amplifier WARNING ! To ensure proper installation, use the supplied parts in the manner specified. If any parts other than those supplied are used, they may damage internal parts of the amplifier, or become loose causing the amplifier to shut down. ! 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 dri- ver, such as on the floor in front of the driver's seat. ! 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. ! Make sure that wires do not get caught in the sliding mechanism of the seats or touch the legs of a person in the vehicle as short-circuit may result. ! When drilling to install the amplifier, always confirm no parts are behind the panel and protect all cables and important equipment (e.g. fuel/brake lines, wiring) from damage. CAUTION ! To ensure proper heat dissipation of the ampli- fier, ensure the following during installation: - Allow adequate space above the amplifier for proper ventilation. - Do not cover the amplifier with a floor mat or carpet. ! Protection function may activate to protect the amplifier against overheating due to installation in locations where sufficient heat cannot be dissipated, continuous use under high-volume conditions, etc. In such cases, the amplifier reduces the power output or shuts down until it has cooled to a certain designated temperature. ! Place all cables away from hot places, such as near the heater outlet. En
