Boston Acoustics GT-20 GT-222 Installation-Fuses & Wiring, Passenger & Trunk Compartment Mounting

Installation—Amplifier Mounting (cont.)

Passenger & Trunk Compartment Mounting

If the amplifier is mounted under a seat, be sure that the vents do not become blocked. Do not allow seat padding or other obstructive material to press down on the amplifier.

All Boston GT amplifiers have top panel controls. If the amplifier is mounted under a seat, position the amplifier so the cover panel can be removed with the seat forward or back to allow adjustment of the audio settings.

When mounting in a trunk, choose a location that will be protected from slid- ing cargo or other materials. Mount the amplifier to solid surfaces only. Do not mount to plastic trim panels. Do not mount the amplifier with Velcro, double- stick tape, or by wedging into position. Amplifier should be mounted using the movable mounting feet and the provided mounting screws.

Installation—Fuses & Wiring

Amplifier Fuses

Although the amplifier has internal fuses, additional fusing should be provided at the battery on the positive (+) power wire going to the amplifier. An inline fuse should be installed at no more than 18" (46cm) on the positive (+) power wire. The rating of the inline fuse should equal the value of the internal fuses of the amplifier if only the amplifier is connected to this wire. If other devices are connected to this wire, the fuse value should be of sufficient capacity to handle the demand.

Wire Gauge

The amplifier accepts up to 4-gauge stripped wire at the DC power and ground input terminals, and 4-gauge is recommended. Wire runs should be kept to the minimum practical length.
