General Installation Precautions WARNING! Before driving the amplifier mounting screws through any surface, be sure of what is behind that surface. Check for the gas tank, brake lines, and any vehicle wiring harness. Never run wires outside or under the vehicle or where they could become broken or interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle. Before You Install Before you install the unit, disconnect the negative (–) battery cable in the engine compartment of the vehi- cle. Doing so will pre

Installation—Amplifier Mounting (cont.) Passenger and Trunk Compartment Mounting If the amplifier is mounted under a seat, be sure that the vents do not become blocked. Do not allow seat padding or other obstructive material to press down on the amplifier. All Boston GT amplifiers have top panel controls. If the amplifier is mounted under a seat, position the amplifier so the cover panel can be removed with the seat forward or back to allow adjustment of the audio settings. When mounting in a trunk,

The positive (+) power wire is installed into the amplifier terminal marked “B+”. The negative (–) wire 1 / " 4 is installed into the terminal marked “GND”. The ground wire should be as short as possible and connected directly to the chassis of the vehicle. Make sure that the chassis connection point is free of rust, grease, dirt, paint, and other materials that may insulate the

Setup Tuning—Full-Range Speakers (cont.) 4) Head Unit The head unit should have all controls such as bass, treble, balance, and fader set to the flat or centered position. The volume control should be at the minimum setting. If the head unit has any equalization or bass management features such as boost, they should be defeated at this time. Turn head unit on, and verify that the GREEN status LED is lit on the amplifier. 5) Volume With the chosen musical track playing, turn the head unit volume co

Setup Tuning—Full-Range Speakers (cont.) 8) “Q” Control Once the highpass crossover point has been determined, use the “Q” con- trol to increase the bass information centered around the crossover point. Setting the “Q” control is done in conjunction with setting the levels on the input sensitivity and highpass crossover frequency controls. You may find while setting the “Q” that bottoming may be detected in the front speakers; low- ering the “Q” input sensitivity or raising the highpass crossover
