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.
