To install the Cerwin Vega Mobile H400.2D amplifier, please follow these steps:

1. It is highly recommended to have your new amplifier installed by an authorized Cerwin Vega Mobile dealer for optimal performance and warranty coverage. If you decide to install it yourself, thoroughly read through the user manual before getting started.

2. Choose a location for mounting the amplifier that provides adequate ventilation and access to the side panel controls. Avoid mounting it in areas exposed to high temperatures, moisture, dust, or vibration.

3. Before installation, ensure that the source unit power switch is in the OFF position and disconnect the negative (-) lead of the car battery.

4. Make clean and secure connections for the power, ground, and remote turn-on wires. Use a minimum of 8 gauge wiring for power and ground connections. Install an external fuse on the positive (+) power lead as close as possible to the vehicle's battery terminal.

5. Upgrade the ground connection between the negative (-) battery post and the vehicle body or chassis for optimum electrical performance.

6. Connect the RCA audio cables from the source unit to the amplifier's RCA input jacks. Keep the RCA cables away from power wiring to reduce the risk of noise.

7. Connect the car speakers to the amplifier's speaker output terminals. Pay attention to the polarity of the speaker terminals and ensure they correspond to the amplifier's polarity. Do not chassis ground any of the speaker leads.

8. Set up the amplifier by adjusting the crossover settings, gain setting, and bass boost according to your preferences. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on these adjustments.

9. Securely mount the amplifier to the vehicle or amp rack using appropriate screws and avoid mounting it on cardboard or plastic panels.

10. After installation, reconnect the negative (-) lead of the car battery and turn on the source unit to test the amplifier's functionality.

Please note that this is a general overview of the installation process. For more specific instructions and details, refer to the user manual provided with the Cerwin Vega Mobile H400.2D amplifier.
