• Use the amplifier as a template to mark the mounting holes.
Remove the amplifier and drill four holes.
• Secure the amplifier using the screws provided.
The mounting location of your amplifier will have a great effect on its
ability to dissipate the heat generated during normal operation. The
amplifier has an ample heat sink for heat dissipation and it is also
designed with a thermal shut-down (for heat protection) circuit.
Causing cool air to be directed over the fins will improve heat
dissipation dramatically. NEVER enclose the amplifier in a small box
or cover it so that air cannot flow around the fins.
Temperatures in car trunks have been measured as high as 175° F
(80° C) in the summer. Since the thermal shut-down point for the
amplifier is185° F (85° C), it is apparent that the amplifier must be
mounted for maximum cooling capability. To achieve the maximum
advantage of convection air flow in an enclosed trunk, mount the
amplifier in a vertical position on a vertical surface.
Cooling requirements are less critical when mounting the amplifier
inside the passenger compartment, since the driver will not often
allow temperatures to reach a critical point. Floor mounting under the
seat is usually satisfactory as long as there is at least 3 inches above
the amplifier’s cooling fins to allow for ventilation.
Caution
Use extreme caution when drilling. To avoid problems,
carefully inspect underneath the intended mounting surface
before drilling.
