Installation de votre nouvel

Audio Amplifier

amplificateur Polk Audio

Before installing your new amplifier, carefully choose the location for the installation. The amplifier should have at least 2" (5cm) of ventilation space on all sides to allow heat to rise and dissipate away from the amplifier. Be sure that the power and signal cable connections can enter and leave the amplifier in a straight line to avoid the risk of kinked wires causing a malfunction. And try to make your ground connections as short as possible.

CAUTION: Remember, your car is filled with hidden stuff: electrical wires, gas lines, vacuum lines, brake lines and all sorts of other lines. Then there’s that pesky gas tank. You do not want to run into this stuff while drilling. Make sure you know where all of these dangers are when you’re installing your amp to avoid puncturing anything.

The amplifier should be protected from exposure to moisture and direct sunlight. The best places to mount your amplifier are: The floor of the trunk, under the driver’s seat, or on the back of the rear seat.

Once you decide where to install your amplifier and have made certain that there is ample

ventilation, air circulation and shelter from unusual hazards, mark the mounting surface using the amplifier itself as a template. A tip: a strip of masking tape on these surfaces will help make your marks more visible.

Drill holes using a 1/8" (2.5mm) metal bit at the marked loca- tions and mount the amplifier using the supplied screws and inserts. Take the time to secure the amplifier solidly so that it does not come loose in the event of a collision or sudden jolt to the vehicle. A flying amp will hurt you.

DO NOT DRILL HOLES

WHILE THE AMPLIFIER IS

IN PLACE AS A “TEM-

PLATE.” YOU COULD

EASILY DAMAGE THE

AMP’S ANODIZED COAT-

ING BY DOING THIS.

Déterminez d’abord l’endroit où vous allez installer votre nouvel amplificateur. Toutes les parois de l’amplificateur doivent avoir un dégagement d’au moins 5 cm (2 po) pour assurer une ventilation adéquate et la dissipation de chaleur. Les câbles d’alimentation et de signal doivent pénétrer l’am- plificateur en ligne droite pour éviter les risques d’anomalies électriques causées par des plis dans les fils. Tous les rac- cords à la masse doivent être aussi courts que possible.

ATTENTION : N’oubliez jamais que votre véhicule est parsemé de fils électriques et de conduits pour l’essence, les freins et autres fonctions. N’oubliez surtout pas le réservoir

àessence. Assurez-vous donc de bien connaître l’emplace- ment de tous ces dangers potentiels avant de procéder.

L’amplificateur ne doit pas être exposé à l’humidité ou aux rayons du soleil. Les meilleurs endroits pour installer votre amplificateur sont : le plancher du coffre, sous le siège du conducteur ou derrière le siège arrière.

Lorsque vous aurez déterminé le lieu d’installation de l’am- plificateur (lieu qui lui assure protection et ventilation), mar- quez la surface de montage en utilisant l’amplificateur comme gabarit. Conseil : du ruban-cache appliqué à cette surface rendra vos marques plus visibles.

Percez des trous aux endroits marqués en utilisant une mèche à métal de 1/8" (2,5 mm) et installez l’amplificateur en utilisant les vis et les écrous rapportés fournis. Assurez- vous que l’amplificateur est solidement fixé de façon à ce qu’il ne puisse pas se détacher en cas d’accident ou de choc soudain. Un amplificateur volant peut être extrêmement dan- gereux.
