Mounting instructions
•As a precaution, it is recommended to disconnect the vehicles battery before mounting (also note the vehicles manual!)
•The power supply wire (+12 V) has to be protected within max. 20 cm / 8” by a main fuse holder with matching fuse value
(Main fuse value has to be equal to the sum of values of the fuses of each connected device)
•If necessary, replace a defective fuse with the identical value only
•Never drill a hole to the vehicles gas tank or brake lines, to wirings or any other important vehicle part!
•Never pass wires over sharp edges or vehicle parts
•Keep the wiring away from the antenna and electronic devices contributing to radio reception
•Lay the power supply wiring always separated from speaker wiring
•The amplifier contains a temperature protection circuit that turns the device off in case of overheating. After a cooling time,
it will turn on again automatically. To avoid heat buildup, sufficient air supply for cooling must be provided. Never cover the
surface of the heatsink entirely.
•The amplifier should not be mounted on a heavily vibrating part or surface (e.g. subwoofer enclosure)
•If a pre-amplified output (RCA) is available (at the head unit), it is recommended to use it for input wiring
Required parts and tools for the installation
•screwdriver
•electric drill - 3 mm / 0.12“ carbide drill bit
•recommende power wiring
Selecting a mounting position
Select a suitable location that is convenient for mounting, is accessible for wiring and has an ample room for air circulation and cooling.
The unit must not be covered or mounted close to heat emitting objects. Because of the high operation temperature (up to 80°C), it is
important to ensure sufficient distance to any heat-sensitive object. Especially the distance between GZDSP 4.80AMP and any plastic part or
electronic component should be at least 3 cm (1.18”).
Mounting the Unit
You may use the unit as a template to mark the mounting holes, then remove it and drill the marked holes. Finally mount the unit with the
mounting screws.
Caution
Choose a mounting position where all electric wires are protected from being damaged by sharp edges, heat or other conditions. +12 Volt
DC electrical connections must be fused on the battery side. Make sure your head-unit and all other devices will remain turned off while
connecting parts of the system. If it is necessary to replace the fuse(s), make sure to use only an equivalent one. Using inferior fuses may
cause serious damage to your unit, wiring or even your cars electric. Any kind of damage traced back on disregard of these notes will not
be covered by the warranty!
High powered audio systems in a vehicle can generate "Live Concert" levels of sound pressure. Continued exposure
to excessively high-volume sound levels may cause hearing loss or damage. Also, operation of a motor vehicle while
listening to audio equipment at high volume levels may impair your ability to hear external sounds such as horns,
warning signals or emergency vehicles! This may lead to potential traffic hazards. In the interest of safety, consumer
electronics recommends listening at lower volume levels while driving.
