Section I: Installation Guide

For your convenience, the PhatBox has already been configured for your head unit. For the PhatBox to recognize this configuration, you must insert the DMS cartridge into the PhatBox, prior to installation.

!

If you have no experience installing car audio equipment, we recommend you go to a professional installer for the mounting and wiring of the PhatBox.

Before mounting the PhatBox

Please consider the following when mounting your PhatBox:

Mounting Location

The PhatBox can be mounted anywhere in the car. The three most common locations are the trunk, under the passenger seat, or in the glove box.

If you already have a CD changer installed in the trunk, we recommend that you install the PhatBox close to the existing CD changer. This will make wiring the PhatBox easier.

Mounting Orientation

The PhatBox should be mounted in the vertical, horizontal, or upside down positions. Avoid mounting the PhatBox on an angled surface for best shock performance.

Avoid mounting the PhatBox where screws could hit wiring or fuel lines.
