Stupid Mistakes to Avoid
• Check before drilling any holes in your vehicle |
to make sure that you will not be drilling |
through a gas tank, brake line, wiring harness or |
other vital vehicle system. |
• Do not run system wiring outside or underneath |
the vehicle. This is an extremely dangerous |
practice which can result in severe damage to |
your vehicle and person. |
• Protect all system wires from sharp metal |
edges and wear by carefully routing them, |
tying them down and using grommets and |
loom where appropriate. |
• Do not mount the amplifier in the engine |
compartment, under the vehicle, on the roof |
or in any other area that will expose the |
