Concert Series Owner’s Manual

We strongly suggest you have the EQL pro-
fessionally installed, but if you are doing it
solo this section lists the procedures you’ll
need to install the EQL in your vehicle.
Before you begin we suggest you read the
next few sections to plan the type of system
you want.

The EQL Equalizer/Level Matcher is quite
versatile. Use it to put together a simple
single-amplifier system, as shown in Figure 4
on page 9. Or better yet, add a couple of our
other fine components, and you are on your
way to building a great 2-way or 3-way
system, as shown in Figures 5 and 6 (on pages
10 and 11).

ä Do not mount the EQL Equalizer/Level

Matcher where it will be exposed to outside
elements or extreme temperatures. Avoid
areas that are subject to extreme road vibra-
tion or shock. The front bumper is definitely
out-of-bounds.

ä Select an installation site that provides short

cable runs for minimum pick-up of engine
noise and RFI (radio frequency interference).
Keep RCA cables together, away from
speaker wires or power cables.

ä At the proposed installation site, make sure

the holes you plan to drill will not hit the
fuel tank, fuel lines, brake lines (under
chassis), or go through any electrical wiring.

ä Use high-quality, fully-shielded RCA cables.
ä Plan on a single-point grounding scheme

that is common to grounded parts of the
system. Use no less than 16-gauge stranded
copper wire for the ground connection.
