Remote Subwoofer Level Control
All BOSS GT series power amplifiers are equipped with a dashboard mount remote subwoofer
6 level control. Run the supplied dashboard remote control from the front panel of your amplifier. By turning the level knob clockwise, you will increase the output of low frequencies.
Fuses
Fuses protect both the amplifier and the electrical system of your vehicle from faulty conditions. If you must replace the fuse in your GT amplifier, use a fuse of exactly the same type and rating. A different type or rating may result in damage or cause a fire.
Mounting the Amplifier
Mark the location for the mounting screw holes by positioning the amplifier where you wish to install it and use a scribe (or one of the mounting screws) inserted in each mounting hole to mark the mounting surface. If the mounting surface is carpeted, measure the hole centers and mark with a felt tip pen.
Drill pilot holes in the mounting surface for the mounting screws and insert the mounting screws into these holes. Tighten them securely.
