About Installation

Although the GTS100 was designed to make installation as easy as possible, it is a sophisticated product that requires proper installation to realize its full per- formance potential. Skill with tools, an understanding of basic electronics, and experience with car stereo installation are needed to properly install these amplifiers. If you feel you do not have the necessary knowledge and skills, we

strongly recommend that the instal- lation be done by your authorized

JBL dealer. If the GTS100 is installed by a qualified JBL dealer, we will double the length of your warranty to two years from date of purchase.

If you choose to install the GTS100 yourself read all of the information in this manual before you start the installa- tion. Pay particular attention to the safety precautions and notes.

It will save potential problems later if you take a few minutes to plan the com- plete installation before you start. The routing of wires, the power supply con- nection points, and the mechanical installation of the unit should be com- pletely thought out before you begin. Work carefully and check each step as it is performed. Before operating the amplifier, recheck the entire installation to be sure that each connection is cor- rect, properly insulated and secure.
