PS260 / PS285 / PS2130 / PS2180

Installation

This device is a high-power audio amplifier intended for installation in vehicles with a 12-Volt negative ground electrical system. Attempting to connect or operate the amplifier in another type of electrical system may cause damage to the amplifier or the electrical system.

Supplies and Tools Needed

To install the amplifiers, you will need tools, supplies and adapters. It is best to make sure you have everything you need before you start.

Supplies

Black electrical tape

Amplifier Installation Kit

Tools

Cordless drill with assortment of bits

Flat-head and Phillips screwdrivers

Wire cutters/strippers

Crimping tool

12-volt test light or digital multimeter

Wire brush, sandpaper or scraping tool (ground connection to vehicle should be a clean, unpainted metal surface)

Disconnect Battery

Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before mounting the amplifier or making any connections. Check the battery and alternator ground (-) connections, making sure they are properly connected and free of corrosion.

Location and Mounting

The PS amplifier’s compact design allows great flexibility in mounting. Common mounting locations include under the front passenger seat or in the trunk area.

When selecting a location, remember that amplifiers generate heat. Select a location on a flat surface away from heat and moisture where air can circulate around the amplifier. Do not cover the amplifier with carpets or enclose it behind interior trim panels, and do not mount the amplifier in an inverted or upside down configuration. Be sure the mounting location and the drilling of pilot holes will not damage any wires, control cables, fuel lines, fuel tanks, hydraulic lines or other vehicle systems or components.

Place the amplifier in the mounting location, and mark the positions of the holes with a marker, pen or pencil. Carefully drill the mounting holes in the marked positions, and use the supplied mounting screws to securely fasten the amplifier to the mounting surface.

Routing Wires

Proper wiring connections are illustrated in the Routing Wires diagram. If wiring connections are made incorrectly, the unit will not operate properly and could become permanently damaged. Follow the installation instructions carefully, or have the installation completed by an experienced technician.
