MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIER
The compact size of the RetroSound
®
Quadraphonic amplifier
enables considerable installation flexibility. For example, the
amplifier may be placed behind the dash or under the seats. It is
best to mount the amplifier in a location that allows air to freely
circulate around it and allows access to the end panel controls for
adjustments. Although both thermal and overload protection are
built in, if the amplifier overheats it will reduce its power output to
maintain operation.
Find a dry, clear and well-ventilated area in which to mount
the amplifier. The area should be free of any obstructions that
might block air flow to the amplifier. It should be protected
from exposure to direct sunlight. You may use the amplifier as a
template to mark the four screw locations with a felt-tip marker. Set
the amplifier aside before drilling the mounting holes. Use caution
to make certain there are no objects behind the installation area
that may become damaged by drilling. If mounting beneath a
seat, it is best if there is at least 1 inch of space above the amplifier
to permit proper ventilation. If installing the amplifier behind the
dash, make sure it has at least two to five inches of clearance.
