BATTERY AND CHARGING

Series 1 amplifiers will naturally put an extra load on your battery and charging system. We recommend you check your alternator capac- ity to ensure ample charging capability to handle the additional load of your new Series 1 equipment. Stock electrical systems in good condition will typically handle the extra load of any individual Series 1 unit without problems, although battery and alternator life may be slightly reduced. If problems arise, we suggest you first check the charging system, then use a heavy duty battery and/or a high output alternator.

M O U N T I N G L O C A T I O N S

The mounting location and position of the Series 1 will have a great effect on its ability to dissipate the heat generated in normal opera- tion. The Series 1 has a heatsink designed for heat dissipation and internal overheating shutoff circuitry to avoid overheating. The amplifier is reasonably tolerant of mounting variations, however, care should be taken to ensure adequate ventilation.

TRUNK MOUNTING

The temperature inside a trunk can reach as high as 175° F (80° C) during the summer months. Since the thermal shutoff point for the Series 1 is 195° F (90° C), it is easy to see that the amplifier must be mounted for maximum cooling capability. Mounting the amplifier on the floor or under the rear parcel tray prevents sufficient convec- tional air flow cooling. Mounting the unit vertically on a surface with the fin grooves running up and down usually results in the best cooling.
