So now that you have all the detailed operational bits down pat and you’re
halfway through that Johnny Utah, time to get going on the install details.
Like we said before, you’re a pro and have the skills to install this bad boy right
now. But let’s review together those details to ensure you only have to do this
once.
Placement – The Epicenter needs to be installed in the signal path after the
source and BEFORE any crossover circuit. You can have it before or after
an EQ but we recommend before so if you need to, you can contour the
sound a bit with those controls. Definitely install before the crossover as
that will get you the optimal performance from The Epicenter Micro.
Mounting – Once you have selected a permanent mounting location, position
the unit and mark the appropriate mounting holes with a felt-tip pen or
scratch awl. Before doing anything else, make sure you are not about to
drill a hole in a gas tank or pierce any existing wiring. Nothing ruins your
day more than an expensive repair bill. Drill a small pilot hole and secure
the chassis of The Epicenter Micro with self tapping screws
WARNING: Failure to disconnect the negative terminal of your battery prior to the
installation of The Epicenter Micro can result in a warm tingly feeling.
(Pro Tip: You can remove this Power Terminal connector while wiring up)
Ground Connection – Use an 18 gauge wire or larger and run it from the
“Ground” connector on The Epicenter Micro to the negative terminal
of the battery, a ground bus, or a verified ground location. The factory
head unit ground location was designed for the factory system, not your
awesome aftermarket additions so don’t use that location! When the
electrical connections are complete, you may reconnect the negative
terminal to your battery.
Positive(+12V) Connection – Use an 18 gauge or larger wire and run it from
the “+12V” connector of your Epicenter. Connect it to a good constant
source of 12 volts (we suggest the battery), fused at 1 amp.
Remote In – Labeled “Rmt In.” Connect a 22 to 18 gauge wire from the head-
unit’s remote turn-on or other switch 12v source to the “Remote In”
connector on The Epicenter.
Remote Out – Labeled “Rmt Out.” Connect 22 to 18 gauge wire from this jack
to the Remote or 12V trigger input on your amp
