Warning!
Amplifiers Generate Heat!
You can install the Tube Driver BLUE in any position, even
upside-down. However, you must maintain proper airflow. Do
Not install your Tube Driver BLUE under carpets or enclose it
behind airtight panels. In trunk-mounted applications, be sure to
provide venting for air circulation. Let the amplifier breathe!
Without adequate air circulation, your Tube Driver Blue will
generate needless heat and under severe conditions will engage
protective shutdown circuitry.
Mounting
Your Tube Driver BLUE should be mounted securely in your
vehicle to prevent damage. You may mount the system right side
up, on its side, or upside-down provided adequate ventilation is
maintained.
