MOUNTING – Amplifier

Select a location for the amplifier in an area such as the driver compartment firewall, under a

seat, etc. Mounting the amplifier in the engine compartment or in an area directly exposed to

weather is not recommended. Assure adequate ventilation to prevent overheating. Allow

clearance for wiring and radio adjustment. Inspect behind mounting area for clearance. Mark

the location of the mounting holes to be drilled.

Drill 4 holes (up to 1/4" diameter) to mount the amplifier to the vehicle. Install the terminal

block plug and make all electrical connections before final mounting (See ELECTRICAL

CONNECTIONS – Amplifier). The plug is secured with the two locking screws. Then mount

the amplifier to the vehicle using appropriate hardware (not supplied).

MOUNTING – Control Head

Select a mounting location in an area such as the dash or overhead console. Choose a

mounting location convenient to the operator and away from any air bag deployment areas.

Inspect behind mounting area for clearance. Allow 1¾” of depth to accommodate the control

head and cable(s). Consider wire routing and access to connections, as well as microphone

bracket placement.

Use template (back page) for marking hole and cutout locations. Connect control head cable

to back of unit and route leads through cutout. Make all electrical connections (See

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS – Control Head), and then use #6 screws for mounting the

control head (not supplied).

MOUNTING - Microphone Extension Harness (“FX” model only)

Select a mounting location for the

microphone connector, verifying adequate

cable length. Allow 1-3/4" clearance

behind connector to prevent sharp bends in

the harness. Drill or punch a 5/8" diameter

hole for mounting. Remove mounting nut

and washer from connector. Insert the

connector into the hole and secure it using

a 3/4" socket to tighten the nut. Connect

harness to the control head as shown prior

to final installation of head.
