Mounting Instructions
Place the amplifier in the installation location. Use a pen or pencil to mark the four mounting screw hole locations. Set the amplifier aside and drill the holes for the mounting screws. (Note: If the surface you are mounting the amp to is covered with carpeting or uphol- stery, cut a small “x” in the material at each screw hole location before drilling the holes. This will help prevent tearing or stretching of the material and carpet fibers from being pulled out.) Set the amplifier in position and align the mounting holes with the holes previously drilled. Put washers on the four sheet metal screws provided and drive them into the mounting panel. Tighten the screws evenly until the unit is solidly mounted.
Wiring
Proper wiring of the GTS100 and the associated components is extremely important for proper performance and long term reliability. Using the proper type of wire is very important. If a spe- cific type of wire should be used for a certain application, it will be noted.
All wiring connections should be made either by soldering with heatshrink tub- ing insulation or with high quality crimp type insulated connectors installed with a good crimping tool. Soldering crimp connections is recommended to further enhance connection reliability. Never use
Route the wiring through the car care- fully. Do not allow wires to lay against sharp sheet metal edges or any other surfaces that might wear away or cut through the insulation of the wire. Use insulated strain reliefs, rubber grom- mets and plastic tubing to protect the wires whenever they are run through sheet metal panels or are placed where they might be pulled or damaged.
