Passenger Compartment If you are going to mount the amplifier in the passenger compartment, make sure you have adequate room for ventilation . The amplifiers have been designed to make under-seat mount - ing possible . When mounting your amplifier under a seat or similar area, keep a minimum of " of clearance around the amplifier for adequate cooling . Trunk Compartment Mounting your amplifier in the trunk provides excellent performance as long as you do not restrict the airflow around the h

Step 3 run all the wires from the amplifier location to the speakers, source unit, and bat - tery . Do not connect the battery at this time . Be sure to run rCAs and power and speaker wires away from factory electrical wires and system as they pose a great potential for induced system noise . Step 4 Pre-drill amplifier mounting holes . Be sure to "think before you drill" . Gas tanks, fuel lines, and other obstructions have a nasty way of hiding themselves . For best results use a marking pen
