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,
