MOUNTING THE XTR AMPLIFIER
The XTR amplifiers have a unique mounting system that can be con¬
figured for different install situations. By placing the removable
mounting rails in the "in" or "out" positions the look of the amplifier
mounting can be changed to suit personal tastes or installation re¬
quirements. In the "in” position, you will not see the amplifier
mounting screws and the amp will "float" above the mounting
screws. The amp can also be mounted in a "standard" manner using
the "out" position.

FIGURE A: This figure shows the mounting feet of the
amplifier in the "in" position. To mount the amplifier in
this manner you must mount just the two feet to the
mounting surface before screwing them to the amp.
The distance needed between the vertical sides of each
foot is noted in the figure to the left. Simply measure
the distance, mount the feet, then mount the amplifier
to the feet.
FIGURE B: This figure shows the mounting feet in the
"out" position. This method can be accomplished by us¬
ing the same procedure as above or by simply mounting
the feet to the amplifier and mounting the amplifier to
the surface as you would a "normal" amp.
