QUAD 4 Amplifier Owner’s Manual
Mounting the Amplifier
To keep your RetroSound® amplifier running at top performance,
choosing the proper location is of utmost importance. Both Thermal and
Overload protection are built in. In the event of overheating, the amplifier
will reduce its power output (volume) to maintain operation. For this
reason the amplifier should be mounted in a location which will allow air
to circulate freely. The compact size of the RetroSound® Quadraphonic
amplifier allows greater flexibility in mounting.
MOUNTING LOCATION
Find a dry, clear and well ventilated area to mount your amplifier that is
unobstructed by any objects that will cause harm or block ventilation.
The amplifier should be protected from exposure to moisture and direct
sunlight. You may use the amplifier as a template and mark the four
screw locations with a felt tip pen. Set the amplifier aside before drilling.
Use caution to make sure there are no objects behind the installation
surface that may become damaged during drilling. If mounting under a
seat, make sure there is at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of space above the
amplifier’s heatsink to permit proper cooling.
The best places to mount your amplifier are: The floor of the trunk, under
a seat, dashboard, or on the back of the rear seat. When installing this
unit behind the dash, be sure to keep the unit away from the radio to
prevent any electrical interference between both of the units.
For alternate installation locations, please consult your authorized
RetroSound® dealer or email [email protected].
