Mechanical Installation - Raveland Boom 80 MkII Bedienungsanleitung

7. Mechanical Installation

Modifications to the vehicle which are made necessary through the installation of the subwoofers
or other components must always be carried out in such a manner that neither the traffic safety
nor the physical stability of the car is impaired. With many cars, the fitness/roadworthiness
approval will lapse if you merely saw out a section of the panelling.
If you are in doubt when selecting a place for installation, consult your car dealer.
As the subwoofer generates heat the place of installation must be resistant against heat.
To warrant sufficient ventilation, an area of 5 cm must be kept free around the amplifier module
of the subwoofer. Air circulation also must not be impaired by any objects like magazines,
blankets, covers, etc.
Make sure before drilling the attachment holes that no electric cables, brake lines, the fuel tank
or similar are damaged.
When using tools to install your car hi-fi components, observe the manufacturer's safety
instructions.
When installing the car hi-fi system, take into consideration the risk of accident which can arise
from devices being torn out and thrown about in the case of an accident. Therefore, you should
secure every component in a place where it cannot be dangerous to passengers.
Select a suitable place of installation for mounting the subwoofer.
A suitable place for mounting has the following features:
• dry
• as free from dust as possible
• minimal vibration
• good air circulation
• an environment which is not sensitive to heat
The boot/trunk of your car is a suitable location. Make sure that the car subwoofer always remains accessible enough
that it can still be connected to the electrical system.
Attach the subwoofer with straps or similar fixtures. This fastening must be also able to bear the load of the subwoofer
in case of an accident.
