Precautions
Warranty
• Pay utmost attention if you install the active subwoofer into the driver’s compartment.
• Use only in cars with a 12 Volt negative ground.
• Before wiring, disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal to avoid short
circuits or electrical shocks. Make the correct connections.
• Do not connect the positive and negative cable of the active subwoofer to the original
cables of the car because of its low capacity.
• Do not damage pipe or wiring when drilling holes.
• Arrange the wiring so it is not crimped or pinched by a sharp metal edge.
• Do not install the active subwoofer in locations which might hinder vehicle operations and
do not install in locations with any moisture. Use the installation materials provided with
the amplifier.
• Do not use bolts or nuts in the brake, airbags or other safety relevant systems to make
ground connections.
• Warning! Active subwoofers may produce sound pressure levels that exceed the threshold
at which hearing loss may result. They may also impair a driver’s ability to hear traffic
sounds or emergency vehicles. Practice safe listening when listening to your audio
system. When the active subwoofer works in particularly hard conditions, it can research
up to 90°C. Make sure its temperature is safe before touching it. This active subwoofers
are developed for motor vehicle use only.
