before

beginning

the

installation.

• Wear protective eyewear when using tools.

• Choose a safe mounting location. Check clearances on both sides

the location. Be sure that screws will not puncture brake

fuel

lines orwiring harnesses, and that wire routing will not interfere with

vehicle operation. Use caution when drilling

cutting.

• When making electrical connections, make sure they are secure

and properly insulated.

• Do not mount the amplifier with the heat sink facing downward,

this interferes with cooling.

• Using the amplifier

a template, mark the locations
