MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS
Priortomountingtheamplifier,makesureitissafetomounttheamplifierindesired
location.Failuretodosocanresultinseriousdamagetothevehicle/boat.Extra

applications.
Additionalprecautionsandsuggestions:
1.Forthemostefficientcooling,mounttheamplifiersocoolairrunsalongthe
lengthoftheheatsink,ratherthanacrossthem.Toincreaseairmovementand
