Welcome!

What you're holding in your hands is no ordinary owner's manual. We've tried to make the instructions in this book clear and easy to follow.

For your Jensen amplifier to work right, it must be installed correctly. This manual will show you how to install your new amplifier like a pro. It's a good idea to read all of these instructions before you begin the installation. Most installations are straightforward and can be handled by a do-it-yourselfer with the right tools, patience, and the ability to follow instructions. But, do-it-yourself installation isn't for everyone. If you still don't feel confident after reading this book, consider turning the installation job over to someone better suited to it.

Warranty Service

If your Jensen amplifier should ever require service, you will need to have the original dated receipt. If you ever need to return the unit for any reason, always include the receipt with the product.
