- It all Adds Up
If possible, try to use self-tapping wood screws that do not
require a pre-drilled hole, because drill bits and carpet fab-
ric do not get along well. A power driver or reversible drill
with screwdriver bits can expedite driving the screws into
thick wood.
Straps that provide anchoring in both horizontal directions
(side-to-side, front-to-back) work best, but be sure the
straps do not block cable and plug connections. After tight-
ening the straps, you can trim off excess length, or else fold
up the excess and use nylon wire ties for neatness.
When completed, the assembly remains in place fairly well,
due to the weight of the gear and friction between the deck
and platform carpeting. For additional friction and clearance,
you could install small rubber feet on the platform.
Your custom-designed platform will offer security, portabili-
ty, and protection for your 500 watt mobile system.
Making DC cable and control connections. Connect the
positive and negative leads of the DC cable to the auxiliary
battery.

Caution: Although the 12 to 13 volts present on your
vehicle's battery poses relatively no shock hazard, the
large current it produces should the battery terminals
short can cause the battery to explode and to splatter
sulfuric acid that can burn the skin and eyes and result
in permanent scarring. The arc created from a shorted
battery lead can weld metal together and in seconds can
heat wiring hot enough to ignite insulation and fabric.
Because there is no internal fuse or breaker in a battery;
your safety depends on the precautions you take before
connecting or removing leads to the battery.
