IMPORTANT:

Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for mounting the amp and make sure it's
secure. An amp that isn't secure could break loose in an accident and injure a passenger as it flies through the vehicle.

AMP mounting locations:

* On the firewall (passenger side).
Pros: Short wires and patch cords required. You won't have to remove a seat or climb into the trunk.
Cons: Only very small amps fit here. Closer to some common noise sources.
* In the trunk or hatch area.
Pros: Plenty of room for large amps. Near the rear speakers.
Cons: You sacrifice some cargo space. Longer wires and patch cords required. If working in the trunk, tape over the latch, so you won't get trapped inside accidentally.
* Under a seat.
Pros: Closer to the receiver, so you can use shorter patch cables and signal cables, which are less prone to noise and signal degradation. Closer to the front speakers, so running wire to them will be easier. No cargo space sacrificed.
Cons: You may have to remove the seat to do the installation. Warning: removing your seat could deactivate your vehicle's SRS system. Larger amps might not fit. You must elevate the amp to avoid contact with water from rain or snow brought in on passengers' shoes.

Planning ahead:

Choosing your location according to these guidelines will help your installation go smoothly:
* The amp should be at least three feet from the receiver to avoid noise radiated from the vehicle's electrical system. The amp can also interfere with the receiver's AM/FM reception.
* An amp produces some heat during operation, which its heatsink absorbs and radiates, so it needs a few inches of air space to stay as cool as possible. When mounting an amp on a side wall, make sure the fins on the heatsink are vertical. Never mount an amp upside down, as dissipated heat will radiate back into the amp.
* There must be enough room on either side to make the wiring connections and adjust the controls (gain, crossover, bass boost, etc.).

Plan your project

It should take about eight to ten hours to complete. The orignal panel was held on by clips. One tug and it was off.

The speaker wires are routed under the door sill and through Q-logic kick panel. Note: there are 2 sets--one for the woofer, and the other for the tweeter.

LAST STEP:

Hide all the wires the best you can. Use electrical tape, wire ties and tubing to conceal your work. And don’t get rid of that diagram just yet—put it somewhere safe in the car.

In case you have a problem later on it will be easier to pull that out than trying to remember! Now install the fuse, turn on the car and see how she sounds.
