7. Mechanical installation
Modifications to the vehicle necessary to install the amplifier, the loudspeakers or other
components have to be carried out so that neither traffic safety nor the structural stability of the
car is impaired. With many cars, the operating licence will lapse if a part of sheet metal is cut
out.
If you are in doubt as to the place of installation, consult your car dealer.
As the amplifier generates heat, the place of installation must not be sensitive to heat.
To ensure proper ventilation, keep a distance of 5 cm around the casing of the amplifier. In
addition, air circulation must not be obstructed by objects such as magazines, blankets,
covers, or similar.
Before drilling attachment holes, make sure that no electric cables, brake lines, the fuel tank or
similar are damaged.
When you use tools to install your car hi-fi components, observe the manufacturer’s safety
instructions.
When installing the car hi-fi system, bear in mind that torn-off pieces may pose a risk of
accident. Therefore, fasten each part securely in a location where it will not pose a risk to the
passengers.
a) Amplifier
Select a suitable place of installation for the amplifier.
A suitable place of installation has the following features:
• dry
• as dust-free as possible
• little vibration
• good air circulation
• an environment which is not sensitive to heat
The boot or the space under the seats are a good place of installation. Make sure that the car amplifier remains
accessible so that it can be connected to the electrical system.

A suitable place of installation is the dividing wall between the boot and the cabin. Install the device so
that the cooling fins of the casing are in a vertical position. This ensures better air circulation around
the casing.
