electronics and the lower your speaker load, the more heat is generated. For low impedance speaker applications or restricted ventilation installations, an external cooling fan may be advisable.

9.Battery and ground connections to the vehicle should be made with crimped ring terminals of the appro- priate size (surface area is what counts); soldering the terminals after crimping is also recom- mended.

10.Due to the high-frequency MOSFET switching power supply, filtering the power cable is not generally required (remember that the amp can’t deliver full output if the power supply is restricted). Proper grounding of the signal source is mandatory for the amplifier to reach its performance peak. If the RCA inputs are not grounded adequately via the signal source, electrical noise from the vehicle may be picked up in the system.

WIRE CONNECTOR PLUGS

Power and speaker wire connections on Viper Audio power amplifiers are performed with the use of specially designed connectors that allow for ease of wire termination and installation convenience.

Poor connections are a common cause of poor sound quality or amplifier perfor- mance. Making proper wire connections is paramount to a reliable, quality sound system.

Please follow these recommendations to ensure a problem free installation:

1.Always use the proper gauge wire for the connector.

2.Cut wires to the minimum length necessary.

3.Trim the wire ends so bare wire does not protrude from the connector after termination.

4.Always tighten the connector screws firmly at least twice, once during installation and once more before returning the car to the customer.

CAUTION:

Over tightening the screws can cause them to strip,

 

creating loose connections. Tighten the screws

 

twice firmly for a permanent, solid connection.

NOTE:

The speaker connectors are designated on stereo

 

amplifiers so 1 = Left and 2 = Right. Mono

 

amplifers are designated so 1 = Speaker 1 and

 

2 = Speaker 2. For more details regarding mono

 

applications, please refer to the Speaker Wiring

450.5 specifications

Directed Electronics 450.5 is a notable addition to the world of vehicle security systems, designed specifically to provide a robust layer of protection for cars, trucks, and SUVs. As security threats continue to evolve, the need for advanced protection mechanisms is imperative, and the Directed Electronics 450.5 addresses this need through a series of innovative features and technologies.

One of the main characteristics of the Directed Electronics 450.5 is its two-way communication system, which allows the user to receive real-time alerts about the status of their vehicle. This two-way feature not only enhances security by informing owners of any unauthorized attempts to enter their vehicle but also provides peace of mind when parked in unfamiliar areas. The system includes a LCD remote that offers a visual representation of the vehicle's status, allowing users to quickly ascertain if their vehicle is secure.

Another key feature of the Directed Electronics 450.5 is its advanced sensor technology. The system is equipped with a shock sensor that detects any vibrations or impacts, prompting immediate alerts to the user. This feature is particularly valuable in preventing theft, as it can deter potential intruders by notifying the owner at the earliest sign of tampering. Additionally, the system includes a hood and trunk sensor, ensuring that all entry points are monitored for unauthorized access.

The Directed Electronics 450.5 also incorporates a starter interrupt functionality, which adds an extra layer of deterrent against vehicle theft. By disabling the vehicle's starter, even if a thief manages to gain entry, they will be unable to start the engine. This characteristic not only protects the vehicle from theft but can also reduce insurance premiums over time.

User convenience is another hallmark of the Directed Electronics 450.5. The system is designed with ease of installation in mind, making it an attractive option for both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts. Its compatibility with a range of vehicles further enhances its appeal, as many car owners look for versatile security solutions.

In summary, the Directed Electronics 450.5 combines innovative technology with practical features to create a comprehensive vehicle security system. With its two-way communication, advanced sensors, starter interrupt functionality, and user-friendly design, it stands out as a premium choice for individuals seeking enhanced security for their vehicles. This system exemplifies the critical need for reliable automotive protection in an increasingly uncertain world.
