Installation Section 04 English Before installing the amplifier WARNING ! Do not use unauthorized parts as this may cause malfunctions. ! Do not install this unit where : - it may interfere with operation of the vehicle. - it may cause injury to a passenger as a result of a sudden stop. ! 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. ! Place all cables away from moving parts, such as the gear shift and seat rails. ! 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. Example of installation on the floor mat or chassis 1 Place the amplifier in the desired installation location. Insert the supplied tapping screws (4 mm × 18 mm) into the screw holes and push on the screws with a screwdriver so they make an imprint where the installation holes are to be located. 2 Drill 2.5 mm (1/8 in.) diameter holes at the imprints either on the carpet or directly on the chassis. 3 Install the amplifier with the use of supplied tapping screws (4 mm × 18 mm). 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. ! Place all cables away from hot places, such as near the heater outlet. ! The optimal installation location differs de- pending on the car model. Secure the amplifier at a sufficiently rigid location. ! Check all connections and systems before final installation. ! After installing the amplifier, confirm that the spare tire, jack and tools can be easily removed. 1 Tapping-screws (4 mm × 18 mm) 2 Drill a 2.5 mm (1/8 in.) diameter hole 3 Floor mat or chassis En 13
