Your new I:lmzar Vector'Series amplifier comes complete with all required mounting hardware. When determining asuitable location in your vehicle for the amp, please remember that it is
For this reason, IIWIJI choDSe alocllion in JIIur vehicle which hIIlow ,ibrltion,adequlte ventilation,l minimum a' dust,lnd no moisture. Be sure to mount the amp in such amanner as to allow reasonable airtlow over the cooling fins.
Milk the loellion lor the mounting screw holes by positioning the amp where you wish to install it and use ascribe (or one of the mounting screws) inserted in each of the mounting holes to mark the mounting surtace. If the mounting surface IS carpeted, measure the hole centers and mark with afelt tip pen.
lefore attempting to drill the mounting holes, take note Dllny wires,lines or other devices in JIIur vehicle which may be located behind the mounting
surface! Then drill pilot holes in the mounting surface for the mounting screws and insert them. Tighten the screws securely. | ||

Use at least Bgauge wire for power and ground connections.
Wire the amplifier directly to the car battery.
For the ground connection, use the shortest possible wire to agood chassis ground point.

When the protection circuit is activated by any of these conditions, the Protection LED will be illuminated.
If this occurs, carefully inspect the system to determine the source of the problem.
•If the shutdown was aresult of athermal overload condition, allow the amplifier to cool down before attempting to restart it.
•If the shutdown was a result of an input overload, or speaker short circuit, be sure to correct the condition before restarting.
The amplifier can be restarted by turning the remote power OFF and then ON again.
Check both
Confinm that the audio signal source (car radio, equalizer, etc.) is connected and is supplying output Signal. To check if the amp is supplying signal, unflugthe cables from the signal source (but leave them plugged into the amp). Briefly tap the center pin of each 0 the disconnected RCA plugs with your linger. This should produce anoise (feedback) in your speakers.

Check the Balance control on the head unit (or other source) to verily that it is set to its mi~oint.
If you are using the Low Level RCA input, reverse the input plugs at the amplifier (i.e., switch the Lwith the R). If the channels which is silent switches to the other side, the problem is either in the head uniVother source or the connecting cables.

If the noise is a"whine" whose pitch follows the engine speed, contirm that the amplifier and any other signal sources (head unit, etc.) are properly grounded.
If the noise is a"clicking" or "popping" noise whose rate tollows the engine speed, this usually means that the vehicle is equipped with resistor spark plugs and wires, or that the ignition is in need ot service.
Check the rounting ot the speaker and input wires to make sure they are not adjacent to wires which interconnect lighis and other accessories.
If the above steps fail to improve or clear noise interference, the system should be checked by aprofessional mobile audio installer.
