CHOOSING MOUNTING LOCATIONS

The location of your HCCA amplifier will depend on several important issues. Due to the low profile size of the HCCA amplifiers, there are many possible installation locations that will yield satisfactory amplifier performance. Always mount the amplifier in a place that protects the amplifier from the elements. In addition, mount the amplifier on a stable, flat mounting surface. As with any amplifier, there are several possible mounting locations and configurations that can be optimal. We will cover the most obvi- ous of situations.

PASSENGER COMPARTMENT MOUNTING

If you are going to mount the amplifier in the passenger compartment, make sure you have ad- equate room for ventilation. The HCCA amplifiers have been designed to make possible under seat mounting. When mounting your amplifier under a seat or similar area, keep a minimum of 1” of clearance around the amplifier for adequate cooling.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT MOUNTING

Mounting the HCCA amplifier in the trunk provides excellent performance as long as you do not mount the amplifier upside down or restrict the airflow around the heatsink of the ampli- fier. For optimal results, mount the amplifier with the cooling fins in the vertical position. This type of mounting will yield the best cooling due to the convection effect of the amplifier chas- sis

ENGINE COMPARTMENT MOUNTING

Do not mount the HCCA amplifier in the engine compartment. The amplifier was not designed to endure the harsh environment of the exterior elements.
