:: Before You Start ::

  Everything should fit
    Before cutting or drilling, make sure the amplifier will physically fit in its desired location. Check for clearance around rear deck torsion bars or other structural elements.

   Everything should fit

 

  Before using any tools or moving vehicle components, take five minutes to review the installation intentions.

   A good connection
     When making connections, make sure each connection is clean and properly secured. Observe all polarity markings carefully to ensure proper end performance.
    :: When Working  ::

   To make a good connection
     The ground wire (-) should run from the amp directly to the chassis (metal) of the car. Make sure that you scrape away the paint to make a good connection

   Earth connections
   Earth connections are very important, as a bad earth will cause noise and interference. Earth leads should be firmly fixed to a major part of the vehicle chassis, preferably the floor or firewall. If alternator whine is evident, all earth wires should be connected together and at the same earth point.
