Installation
This device is a high-power audio amplifier intended for installation in vehicles with a 12-Volt
negative ground electrical system. Attempting to connect or operate the amplifier in another
type of electrical system may cause damage to the amplifier or the electrical system.
Supplies and Tools Needed
To install the amplifiers, you will need tools, supplies and adapters. It is best to make sure you
have everything you need before you start.
Supplies
• Black electrical tape
• Amplifier Installation Kit
Tools
• Cordless drill with assortment of bits
• Flat-head and Phillips screwdrivers
• Wire cutters/strippers
• Crimping tool
• 12-volt test light or digital multimeter
• Wire brush, sandpaper or scraping tool (ground connection to vehicle should be a clean,
unpainted metal surface)
Disconnect Battery
Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before mounting the amplifier or making any
connections. Check the battery and alternator ground (-) connections, making sure they are
properly connected and free of corrosion.
Location and Mounting
The PS amplifier’s compact design allows great flexibility in mounting. Common mounting
locations include under the front passenger seat or in the trunk area.
When selecting a location, remember that amplifiers generate heat. Select a location on a flat
surface away from heat and moisture where air can circulate around the amplifier. Do not cover
the amplifier with carpets or enclose it behind interior trim panels, and do not mount the
amplifier in an inverted or upside down configuration. Be sure the mounting location and the
drilling of pilot holes will not damage any wires, control cables, fuel lines, fuel tanks, hydraulic
lines or other vehicle systems or components.
Place the amplifier in the mounting location, and mark the positions of the holes with a marker,
pen or pencil. Carefully drill the mounting holes in the marked positions, and use the supplied
mounting screws to securely fasten the amplifier to the mounting surface.
Routing Wires
Proper wiring connections are illustrated in the Routing Wires diagram. If wiring connections
are made incorrectly, the unit will not operate properly and could become permanently
damaged. Follow the installation instructions carefully, or have the installation completed by an
experienced technician.
