INSTALLATION

Before you begin the installation of your Power series amp remember, there are two ways to do
things – right and twice! Use the proper installation techniques, tools and accessories to ensure
that your Jensen Power series amp will put out all the power it was designed to. If necessary,
seek a professional installer to have the amplifier installed correctly. Most mobile amp
installations do not have the proper gauge wire for power and ground – do not let your amp be a
victim of this common installation oversight!
NOTE: This device is a high-power audio amplifier intended for installation in vehicles
with a 12-Volt negative ground electrical system. Attempting to connect or operate the
amplifier with another type of electrical system may cause damage to the amplifier or the
electrical system.

Supplies and Tools Needed
To install the amplifier, you will need tools, supplies and adapters. It is best to make sure you
have everything you need before you start.
Supplies

Black electrical tape

Amplifier Installation Kit
Tools

Cordless drill with assortment of bits

Flat-head and Philips screwdrivers

Wire cutters/strippers

Crimping tool

12-volt test light or digital multimeter

Wire brush, sandpaper or scraping tool (ground connection to vehicle should be a clean,
unpainted metal surface)
Disconnect Battery
Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before starting the installation. Check the battery
ground (there should be two (2) ground wires coming from the battery – one going to the starter
mounting bolt or engine block and another going to the vehicle chassis) and make sure the
battery is grounded to the chassis with at least a #8 gauge wire. Also check the alternator
connections, making sure they are tight and free from corrosion, rust or dirt.

Location and Mounting

The amplifier's compact design allows great flexibility in mounting. Common mounting locations
include under the front passenger seat or in the trunk area.
When selecting a location, remember that amplifiers generate heat. Select a location on a flat
surface away from heat and moisture where air can circulate around the amplifier.
Place the amplifier in the mounting location and mark the positions of the holes with a marker,
pen or pencil. Carefully drill the mounting holes in the marked positions, then use the supplied
mounting screws to securely fasten the amplifier to the mounting surface.
WARNING: Do not cover the amplifier with carpets or enclose it behind interior trim
panels, and do not mount the amplifier in an inverted or upside down configuration. Be
sure the mounting location and the drilling of pilot holes will not damage any wires,
control cables, fuel lines, fuel tanks, hydraulic lines or other vehicle systems or
components.
Routing Wires
Proper wiring connections are illustrated on the following pages. If wiring connections are made
incorrectly, the unit will not operate properly and could become permanently damaged. Follow
the installation instructions carefully, or have the amplifier installed by an experienced
technician.
