Automotive audio equipment installations can be troublesome at times, even to the most experienced of installation technicians. If you are not confident working with electrical wiring, removing and reinstalling interior panels, carpeting, dashboards or other components of your vehicle, please call our
Tools Needed For Installation:
| • Nail Set/Center Punch | • Hammer | • Safety Glasses | • Electrical Tape |
| • Phillips Screwdriver | • Wire Cutter | • Marker/Pen | • Electric Drill with 1/16" bit |
We recommend an Amplifier Installation Kit containing the following parts:

Location
When choosing a location for the amplifier, keep in mind that the amplifier will generate heat. Place the amplifier in a location that allows air to circulate around it. Amplifier location and installation will vary from vehicle to vehicle, depending on physical layout of the vehicle. Carefully consider as many installation locations and configurations as is practically possible DO NOT COVER the amp with carpet or enclose it behind interior panels. DO NOT mount inverted or upside down. The amplifier may be mounted vertically.
Before permanently installing your VRA1.0 Amplifier, place the VRA1.0 Amplifier in the approximate place it will occupy in your car. Run all power and speaker wires inside the vehicle toward the amplifier prior to mounting. This will allow you to estimate how much wire you'll need and where to route the wires inside of your vehicle.
Connect the fused 12 Volt DC power wire, chassis ground cable, and remote wires. (SEE SECTION 3, ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS)
Turn on the amplifier, if the Power Protection light is green, turn off the amplifier and proceed to the next section. If the Power Protection light is red, review all of the connections and wires. You may have a loose connection, a bad chassis ground, or an inadequate size power wire. If after reviewing all the connections and wires the problem persists, call
Allow for air to circulate around the amplifier. Do not mount inverted or upside down. Do not cover with carpeting or enclose it behind interior panels. Avoid mounting under a seat.
