A Word About Professional Installation…

We, the folks at Diamond Audio, highly advise the use of a factory authorized
installation technician. System performance ultimately depends on proper
installation. Your D5 Series amplifier is an awesome component that deserves
to be professionally installed. If you still insist on installing the amplifier
yourself, the following instructions should make it a little easier.

Before starting your installation, remove the negative battery cable before
working on the positive terminal to prevent a short to ground. If a short does
occur, current will continue to flow until the short is opened, the main fuse
blows, or the wire melts (possibly taking out any nearby flammable object,
wire loom, etc. causing a fire or other damage). Reconnect the negative
terminal after all connections have been made.

MOUNTING YOUR AMPLIFIER

Warning — Amplifiers Generate Heat!

You can mount your amplifier in any position, even upside down. However,
airflow must be maintained. Do not install your amplifier under carpets or
behind airtight panels. Let the amplifier breathe. Without air circulation, your
amplifier will shut down its power output to protect itself.

D5 Professional Reference Amplifiers

do not utilize any fan driven cooling

system.  Care must be taken to provide a sufficient flow of air around the
amplifier for the thermal management system to operate at peak efficiency.
Air should be able the flow over the top and sides of the amp freely.  Adding
a fan to your system can be beneficial in keeping your amp cool.  Be sure to
allow at least 2 inches of space around the amplifier. Never mount your
amplifier where it can get wet. Water damage is not covered by the warranty.

Mounting your amplifier inside an enclosure is not a good idea unless that
enclosure is equipped with ventilation fans to circulate fresh air through the
enclosure.

Your new 

D5

amplifier features adjustable mounting flanges. Should they

need to be moved to a different location, remove the self-tapping screws on
the bottom of each mounting flange. Move the flange to the desired location.
Carefully tighten the self-tapping bottom screws. Be careful not to over
tighten these screws or damage to the head of the screws or stripping of the
threads will result.
