Connecting the Speakers and Input Wires

The speaker output mode can be four-channel, three-channel (stereo + mono) or two-channel (stereo, mono). Connect the speaker leads to suit the mode according to the figures shown below.

Two-channel (Stereo)

Input select switch is on the top of the unit. Slide this switch to the left.

CAUTION

• Do not install in:

—Places where it could injure the driver or pas- sengers if the vehicle stops suddenly.

• Do not install the amplifier on unstable places

such as the spare tire board.

• The best location for installation differs with the

car model and installation location. Secure the

amplifier at a sufficiently rigid location.

• Make temporary connections first and check that

—Places where it may interfere with the driver,

such as on the floor in front of the driver’s seat.

• Make sure that wires are not caught in the sliding

mechanism of the seats, resulting in a short-cir-

cuit.

• Confirm that no parts are behind the panel when

drilling a hole for installation of the amplifier.

Protect all cables and important equipment such

as fuel lines, brake lines and electrical wiring

from damage.

• Install tapping screws in such a way that the screw

tip does not touch any wire. This is important to

prevent wires from being cut by vibration of the

the amplifier and the system operate properly.

• After installing the amplifier, confirm that the

spare tire, jack and tools can be easily removed.

Example of installation on the floor mat or on the chassis

installed. Insert the supplied tapping

screws (4 18 mm) into the screw

holes. Push on the screws with a

• DO NOT allow amplifier to come into contact

with liquids due to, for example, the location

where the amplifier is installed. Electrical shock

could result. Also, amplifier and speaker damage,

smoke, and overheating could result from contact

with liquids. In addition, the amplifier surface and

the surface of any attached speakers could become

hot to the touch and minor burns could result.

• To ensure proper installation, use the supplied

parts in the manner specified. If any parts other

than the supplied ones are used, they may damage

where the installation holes are to be

located.

2. Drill 2.5 mm diameter holes at the

point marked, and install the ampli-

fier, either on the carpet or directly

to the chassis.

become loose causing the amplifier to shut down.

• Never replace the fuse with one of greater value

or rating than the original fuse. Use of an improp-

er fuse could result in overheating and smoke and

could cause damage to the product and injury

including burns.

CAUTION:

To prevent malfunction and/or injury

• To ensure proper heat dissipation of the amplifier,

be sure of the following during installation.

—Allow adequate space above the amplifier for
