INSTALLATION
This section lists Mounting and Wiring Precautions for installing the Clarion DPX1001.2. These safeguards provide enough detail to complete the installation successfully. If you do not have the necessary skills, Clarion recommends consulting your authorized Clarion dealer for installation.
MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS
Although the Clarion DPX1001.2 incorporate heat sinks and protection cir - cuits, mounting the amplifier in a tight space without any air movement can still damage internal circuitry over time. Choose a site that provides ade- quate ventilation around the amplifier. For easy system
In addition, observe the following precautions:
1.For the most efficient cooling, mount the amplifier so cool air runs along the length of the fins rather than across them. Remember, any moving air will dissipate heat.
2.Mount the amplifier on a rigid surface. Avoid mounting to subwoofer enclosures or areas prone to vibration. Do not install the amplifier on plastic or other combustible materials.
3.Prior to drilling, make sure proposed mounting holes will not cut into the fuel tank, fuel lines, brake lines (under chassis) or electrical wiring.
WIRING PRECAUTIONS
Read all wiring precautions. If you are not sure of the connections, contact your authorized Clarion dealer.
1.Before installation, make sure the source unit Power switch is in the OFF position.
2.Disconnect the negative
3.When making connections, be sure that each connection is clean and secure. Insulate final connections with electrical tape or shrink tubing. Failure to do so may damage your equipment.
4.A secure clean ground connection is critical to the performance of your Clarion amplifier. Use the shortest ground wire possible and securely con - nect to the car chassis to minimize resistance and avoid noise problems.
