Mounting the amplifier
Mounting
Choose a location for the amplifier with ample ventilation for optimum
cooling performance. Be sure the amplifier is mounted with at least 2-inches
(50mm) of clearance around the chassis. Never fully enclose the amplifier in
a confined space without active ventilation. Also avoid mounting in areas of
direct sunlight and in areas of high vibration, such as a subwoofer
enclosure. Ideal mounting consists of the chassis being mounted with the
base of the amplifier parallel with the floor or perpendicular to the floor with
the fins of the heatsink facing upward for the most effective heat dissipation.
Your amplifier should always be installed in a location that will remain free
of moisture and dirt, and in a manner that does not interfere with any of the
electronics or safety gear of the vehicle.
For safety purposes, be sure to take the time to properly mount the
amplifier using suitable mounting hardware so the amplifier stays stationary
in the event of a collision or unforeseen circumstance.
