About the design (cont.)
The heat that MOSFETs and transistors create is sucked
out of them by using ceramic aluminum oxide wafers
between the devices and the solid aluminum billet
heatsinks. We want the heat in the heatsinks, not the
transistors and MOSFETs.
FUSE IT
These amplifiers DO NOT have internal fuses for the
battery connection to the vehicle.
A 150 AMP FUSE IS
REQUIRED FOR EACH HALF of the amplifier. We
recommend high quality ANL fuse type. Please pay
close attention to B+ and GND Connections, accidentally
reversing these will cause irreversible damage to the
amplifier
that will not be covered under warranty. Please
take your time and take care to ensure correct battery
connection polarity.
MOUNT IT
This is a very heavy amplifier. When it is mounted in a
car that is going 50 MPH and crashes the amplifier might
continue traveling at 50 MPH and cause destruction
and/or bodily injury if proper mounting techniques are
not used. Use #6, #8, or M4 machine screws in six
places to mount this amplifier to something very secure
in the vehicle. The bottom plate is electrically grounded,
so it is best to mount it to something not grounded to
avoid ground loops.
