PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
It is important that you take the time to 
read this manual and that you plan out your 
installation carefully. The following are some 
considerations that you must take into account 
when planning your installation. 
 
Cooling Efficiency Considerations: 
The outer shell of your JL Audio amplifier  
is designed to remove heat from the amplifier 
circuitry. For optimum cooling performance,  
this outer shell should be exposed to the  
largest possible volume of air. Enclosing the 
amplifier in a small, poorly ventilated chamber 
can lead to excessive heat build-up and degraded 
performance. If an installation calls for an 
enclosure around the amplifier, we recommend 
that this enclosure be ventilated with the aid  
of a fan. In normal applications, fan-cooling is  
not necessary. 
 
Mounting the amplifier upside down is  
strongly discouraged. If mounting the amplifier 
under a seat, make sure there is at least 1 inch 
(2.5 cm) of space above the amplifier’s outer 
shell to permit proper cooling.
Safety Considerations: 
Your amplifier needs to be installed in a dry, 
well-ventilated environment and in a manner 
which does not interfere with your vehicle’s safety 
equipment (air bags, seat belt systems, ABS brake 
systems, etc.). You should also take the time to 
securely mount the amplifier so that it does not 
come loose in the event of a collision or a sudden 
jolt to the vehicle. 
 
Stupid Mistakes to Avoid 
•  Check before drilling any holes in your vehicle 
to make sure that you will not be drilling 
through a gas tank, brake line, wiring harness or 
other vital vehicle system.
•  Do not run system wiring outside or underneath 
the vehicle. This is an extremely dangerous 
practice which can result in severe damage to 
your vehicle and person.
•  Protect all system wires from sharp metal edges 
and wear by carefully routing them, tying  
them down and using grommets and loom 
where appropriate.
•  Do not mount the amplifier in the engine 
compartment, under the vehicle, on the roof or 
in any other area that will expose the amplifier 
circuitry to the elements.
