Clarionaudiodealertoperformtheinstallation.
MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS
Priortomountingtheamplifier,makesureitissafetomounttheamplifierindesired
location.Failuretodosocanresultinseriousdamagetothevehicle/boat.Extra
careandattentionisnecessaryinmarineinstallationsduetotheuncertaintyof
waterconditionsenvironment.Stainlesssteelhardwareisrecommendedformarine
applications.
Additionalprecautionsandsuggestions:
1.Forthemostefficientcooling,mounttheamplifiersocoolairrunsalongthe
lengthoftheheatsink,ratherthanacrossthem.Toincreaseairmovementand

2.Mounttheamplifieronarigidsurface;avoidmountingtosubwooferenclosuresor
areaspronetovibration.
3.Priortodrillingandmounting,makesuretheproposedmountingholeswillnotcut

3.Whenmakingconnections,besurethateachconnectioniscleanandsecure.
Insulatefinalconnectionswithelectricaltapeorheatshrinktubing.Failuretodo
somaydamageyourequipment.
4.Agoodgroundiscriticalfortheperformanceoftheamplifier.Agroundwire
shouldberundirectlyfromthebatterytotheamplifier(marineapplication).Use
blackinsulated10-gaugeorlargerwirefortheamplifier’sground(-)powerlead.
5.Addafuseholderandfuseatthepositive(+)terminalofthebattery.
