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.

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.

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.
