INSTALLING THE EPICENTER CONCERT SERIES
Up to this point everything you have read has served to educate you on the
operations of The Epicenter. We are sure that you are chomping at the bit to
install The Epicenter so we recommend you read the following sections very
carefully.
Placement & Mounting The Epicenter
Placement: The Epicenter needs to be installed in the signal path as close
to your source unit as possible, but definitely BEFORE any crossover circuit.
Although the Epicenter is close to the source unit’s signal, the chassis is
usually mounted in the rear of the vehicle as close to the amplifiers as possible.
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 with self tapping screws.
Electrical Connections
WARNING: Failure to disconnect the negative terminal of your battery
prior to the installation of The Epicenter Concert Series can result in a
warm tingly feeling.
Remote In: Connect a 22 to 18 gauge wire from the head-unit’s remote
turn-on to the “Remote In” connector on The Epicenter.
Positive(+12V) Connection: Insert an 18 gauge or larger wire into the
connector labeled “Power” on the nifty connector of your Epicenter. Connect it
to a good constant source of 12 volts (we suggest the battery), fused at 1 amp.
Ground Connection: Use the same gauge wire as you did for the “+12v ”
connector and run it from the “Ground” connector on The Epicenter to the
negative terminal of the battery, a ground bus, or a verified ground location.
The factory head unit ground is not a good ground!
When the electrical connections are complete, you may reconnect the
negative terminal to your battery.
