| DO |
DON'T |
| 1)
Run your RCA on one side of your vehicle and power cable
on the other, this way you are less likely to have such
engine noise or hiss. |
1)
Don't mix your power cable with your RCA wire. This
may result in engine noise or hiss. |
| 2)
Always put a mainfuse or breaker in engine compartment
in the event of any of your wires being ruptured or
damaged. Other equipment are protected in this way.
|
2)
Don't run power cables through firewall without grummets
or snap bushing. |
| 3)
If your vehicle has a computer try to use shielded RCA
cables. This assists in preventing computer generated
noise. |
3)
Don't pass your RCA wires close to your vehicle's computer.
This would pick up noise generated from the computer
|
| 4)
Try and mount your amplifiers in a well ventilated area,
preferably your trunk, side panels of your trunk or
under your seat. |
4)
Don't mount your amplifiers upside down. They tend to
overheat in this position. |
| 5)
Should you require an additional battery, try using
a dry cell or gell cell battery- these are specially
designed for audio systems. |
5)
Don't use acid batteries on the inside of your vehicle.
This can cause lead poisoning which may cause drowsiness
whilst driving. |
| 6)
Match the power with your entire system- head units/amplifiers/speakers.
This gives better performance and max output of all
equipment used. |
6)
Dont use high powered head units or amplifiers with
low powered speaklers (or vice-versa). This tends to
cause distortion faster than normal. |
| 7)
Always refer to the accessory chart for guage requirements
to suit your system if uncertain. |
7)
Don't purchase JUST ANY guage wires for your
system. If incorrect guage is used, this can result
in loss of power or distortion of the system.
|
| 8)
When mounting amplifiers use cables from 4awg up to
Zero awg depending on the power of your system.
|
8)
Don't use cables under 8awg for your power amplifier.
|
| 9)
Use same brands - equipment when possible. This gives
you better performa- nce and ultimately better results.
|
9)
Don't overmix your brands when it comes to choosing
equipment for your system. Some equipment work well
with their own brands e.g. head unit + changer
|
| 10)
Purchase equipment and security systems with serial
numbers. Ask about warranty's and extended warranty's.
|
10)
Don't purchase electronic equipment and security systems
without serial numbers. They may be stolen and may not
carry warranty. |
| 11)
Research, read and ask questions about the product and
features to get value for you money. |
11)
Don't purchase equipment on an impulse ! |
