– 6 – 1. Cast Aluminum Heatsink – The cast aluminum heatsink of the Power amplifier dissipates heat generated by the amplifier's circuitry. The inherent advantage of casting provides a 30% improvement of cooling over conven- tional extrusion heatsink designs.
I NST ALLA TION C ONSIDERA TIONS The following is a list of tools you will need for installing the Power amplifier: Voltmeter Wire strippers Electric hand drill w/assorted bits Battery post wrench 17' (5 m) Red Power Wire Wire cutters 12' (4 m) Remote Turn-On Wire Assorted connectors 1.
M OUNTING L OCA TION The mounting location and position of your amplifier will have a great effect on its ability to dissipate the heat generated during normal operation. The design of our cast aluminum heatsink serves to easily dissipate the heat generated over a wide range of operating conditions.
B A TTERY AND C HARGING – 9 – Amplifiers will put an increased load on the vehicle's battery and charging system. We recommend checking your alternator and battery condition to ensure that the electrical system has enough capacity to handle the increased load of your stereo system.
– 10 – 4. Prepare a length of cable to be used for the ground connection. Strip 5/8" of insulation from the end of the cable as described above and connect to the appropriate terminal of the amplifier. Prepare the chassis ground by scraping any paint from the metal surface and thoroughly clean the area of all dirt and grease.
– 11 – U SING P ASSIVE C ROSSOVERS A passive crossover is a circuit that uses capacitors and/or coils and is placed on speaker leads between the amplifier and speaker. The crossover delegates a specific range of frequencies to the speaker for optimum driver performance.
