Installation
Since the power amplifier has no parts which require
operation, it can be installed at a position away from
the driver’s seat without any hindrances.
As generally accepted positions for its installation,
places such as inside the trunk, etc. can be
considered.
• Do not install the unit under the carpet. Otherwise
• Install this unit in a location which allows heat to
