- 450-watt amplifier

3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Power Connection
The Party Bar is designed for a 12V power connection. Connecting the Party Bar directly to higher voltage (24V, 36V, or 48V) vehicles will cause damage. If your vehicle’s battery power and charging system is 24V, 36V, or 48V, a voltage converter with 12V output (e.g., 48V-to-12V converter) is required.
3.2 Mounting Options
The Party Bar features a patented, end-mounted woofers with cast aluminum integrated grill mounting system that allows for complete 360-degree rotation. An integrated rail mounting system provides alternative mounting options when end mounting is not feasible.

3.3 SAE Accessory Connector
A marine-grade SAE accessory connector switch simplifies the addition of any LED light bar.
4. Operating Instructions
