Planning and Mounting Your System
---” -.---- __I__.
The mounting position of your Amplifier will have a great effect on its ability to dissipate
the heat generated during normal operation.
It has an ample heat sink for heat dissipation, and also designed with a thermal shut-
down (for heat protection) circuit. DO NOT enclose the amplifier in a small box or
cover it so that air can not flow freely.
Temperatures in car trunks have been measured as high as (155’ C) in the summer time.
since the thermal shut-down point for the amplifier is (158’ C) it is easy to see that it must
be mounted for maximum cooling capability. To achieve the maximum advantage of
convection air flow in an enclosed trunk, mount the amplifier in a horizontal position.
Cooling requirements are considerably relaxed when mounting inside the passenger
compartment since the driver will not often allow temperatures to reach a critical point.
Floor mounting under the seat is usually satisfactory as long as there is at least 1 inch
of clearance (2.54 cm) above the Amplifier’s fins for ventilation.
a. Select a suitable location that is convenient for mounting, is accessible for wiring.
And has ample room for air circulation and cooling.
b. Use the amplifier as a template to mark the mounting holes. Remove the Amplifier
and drill holes. Use extreme caution, inspect underneath surface before drilling!
c. Secure the Amplifier using the screws provided.
