Amplifiers Generate Heat!

You can mount the MA4100 in any position, even upside-down. However, you must maintain proper airflow. Do not install your MA4100 under carpets or enclose it behind airtight panels. In trunk-mounted applications, be sure to provide venting for air circulation. Let the amplifier breathe. Without adequate air circulation, your Tube Driver will reduce its output power to protect itself.

M o u n t i n g

You need to mount your MA4100 securely in your vehicle to prevent damage. You may mount the system right-side up, on its side, or upside-down, provided there is adequate ventilation.
