Installation

Before you begin the installation of your Power series amp remember, there are two ways to do things – right and twice! Use the proper installation techniques, tools and accessories to ensure that your Jensen Power series amp will put out all the power it was designed to. If necessary, seek a professional installer to have the amplifier installed correctly. Most mobile amp installations do not have the proper gauge wire for power and ground – do not let your amp be a victim of this common installation oversight!

NOTE: This device is a high-power audio amplifier intended for installation in vehicles with a 12-Volt negative ground electrical system. Attempting to connect or operate the amplifier with another type of electrical system may cause damage to the amplifier or the electrical system.

Supplies and Tools Needed

To install the amplifier, you will need tools, supplies and adapters. It is best to make sure you have everything you need before you start.

Supplies

Black electrical tape

Amplifier Installation Kit

Tools

Cordless drill with assortment of bits

Flat-head and Philips screwdrivers

Wire cutters/strippers

Crimping tool

12-volt test light or digital multimeter

Wire brush, sandpaper or scraping tool (ground connection to vehicle should be a clean, unpainted metal surface)

going to the vehicle chassis) and make sure the battery is grounded to the chassis with at least a #8 gauge wire. Also check the alternator connections, making sure they are tight and free from corrosion, rust or dirt.

Location and Mounting

The amplifier’s compact design allows great flexibility in mounting. Common mounting locations include under the front passenger seat or in the trunk area.

When selecting a location, remember that amplifiers generate heat. Select a location on a flat surface away from heat and moisture where air can circulate around the amplifier.

Place the amplifier in the mounting location and mark the positions of the holes with a marker, pen or pencil. Carefully drill the mounting holes in the marked positions, then use the supplied mounting screws to securely fasten the amplifier to the mounting surface.

WARNING: Do not cover the amplifier with carpets or enclose it behind interior trim panels, and do not mount the amplifier in an inverted or upside down configuration. Be sure the mounting location and the drilling of pilot holes will not damage any wires, control cables, fuel lines, fuel tanks, hydraulic lines or other vehicle systems or components.

Routing Wires

Proper wiring connections are illustrated on the following pages. If wiring connections are made incorrectly, the unit will not operate properly and could become permanently damaged. Follow the installation instructions carefully, or have the amplifier installed by an experienced technician.
