What exactly do you do when it comes to installing and tweaking an amplifier? Every person who purchases one probably asks this question, but if you plan to “do it yourself” some retailers won’t offer many suggestions because they’re not doing the work. In any event, there are many factors to consider when installing an amp, some of which we’ll cover in this issue.

One of the most important factors is the gauge size (AWG) of the wire for your positive (+) and negative (-) terminations: The positive and negative wires should be of the same gauge (AWG). As a veteran would say, you can’t fill with a fire hose and empty with a straw!

Section I : Installing the PhatBox Mounting the PhatBox

When choosing a mounting location remember:

• Leave at least 3 inches of clearance for the cable.
• The PhatBox should be mounted parallel or perpendicular to the floor of the car.
• Don’t mount near wiring or fuel lines.
• Leave the front of the PhatBox unobstructed for easy insertion of and removal of the cartridge.
• The unit should be mounted to a hard stable

Connecting the PhatBox to a Car Stereo Head Unit

1. Turn off the car.
2. Gain access to the rear portion of your car stereo.
3. Unplug the original car stereo cable from the back of your stereo.
4. Plug the male end of the PhatNoise cable into the same location the original car stereo was connected.
5. Plug original car stereo cable into the smaller pigtail coming from the main PhatNoise pigtail.

GETTING STARTED

If you have purchased a motorcycle lift, use it. Otherwise, try to position the bike near a car or wall that you can lean it against towards the right (opposite of the way it would lean on the kick stand) This will stop oil from running towards the kick stand and on to the new gasket you will be installing which would result in an oil leak.

Warm up the motorcycle for a few minutes. Then turn off and drain oil. Remove left running board. Remove the gear shifter.

Remove chrome outer “dress up to make it look pretty” cover. It has one nut at the bottom center take that off and then pull / pry on the cover (See Figure 4). Put some gasket cement or Loctite on the threads and screw the nut back on and tighten it up. This is so you can drive the bike with the cover off for a week and be able to detect any leaks.

Get your hands on the best technology in onboard telephony

Parrot’s development teams have drawn on their expertise in Bluetooth® technology, voice recognition and sound processing to streamline the operation of the CK3000 EVOLUTION Black Edition in order to develop a car kit that offers clear conversations, despite the noise particularly inherent in driving.

Design and audio quality: choose a kit that integrates seamlessly into the car
The CK3000 EVOLUTION Black Edition features a discreet design that is hardly noticeable on the dashboard. In the event of a call, the car radio automatically cut outs, so that the speakers can transmit the conversation, and the microphone clearly reproduces the sound of your voice.
