PASSENGER MOUNTING
Under the seat or floor mounting will work as long as there is a minimum of 1” (2.5 cm) of air gap above the amplifier heatsink.
Vertical mounting of the amplifier is still the best.

Caution! Be sure to avoid running the power wires near the low level input cables, antenna, sensitive equipment or harnesses. The power wires carry substantial currents and could induce noise.
1.Power – The gold B+ terminal must be connected directly to the positive (+) terminal of the battery with an appropriate size wire. (See the Specifications for more information.) This provides a power source with a low voltage drop and low noise.
Be sure to use the supplied fuse and fuseholder within 18” (45.7cm) of the battery’s positive terminal. Failure to do so may cause damage to the vehicle and the amplifier.
Note: You will need to cut the wire loop that is attached to the fuse holder in half and splice the fuse into the power line using appropriate
If the power wire must be extended beyond 17’ (518.16 cm), we recommend the use of 10 gauge stranded wire.

2.Ground – The GND terminal grounds the amplifier and is connected to the chassis of the vehicle. When grounding, scrape paint off metal to ensure a good, clean ground connection. To prevent ground loops, we recommend you refrain from extending the ground wire beyond 18” (45.72 cm) in any installation.
3.Remote
Although the majority of high quality automotive source units have an Accessory or Antenna output, there may be exceptions. If the source unit has no Auto Antenna lead (or if the Auto Antenna goes down during tape/CD operation), we recommend a switch in the car with one terminal connected to +12 volts and the other to the Series 1 AP lead. This will allow you to engage the amplifier manually.
