Installation Precautions
- Before drilling or cutting holes, investigate your vessel's layout carefully. Take special care near gas tanks, fuel lines, hydraulic lines, and electrical wiring.
- Never operate the amplifier when it is unmounted. Attach all audio system components securely to prevent damage, especially in an accident.
- Do not mount the amplifier with unprotected wire connections in a pinched condition, in contact with metal surfaces, or where they are likely to be damaged by nearby objects.
- Before making or breaking power connections, disconnect the marine vessel battery. Confirm that your head unit or other equipment is turned off while connecting input jacks and speaker terminals.
- If replacing the power fuse, use only a fuse identical to the one supplied with the amplifier. Using a fuse of a different type or rating may result in damage not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Important Note on Level Control:
Do not mistake the input level control for a volume control. It is designed to match the output level of your audio source to the amplifier's input level. Do not adjust this to maximum unless required. Ignoring this can result in input overload, excessive audio distortion, and engagement of the protection circuit.
