tronics and the lower your speaker
load, the more heat is generated.
For low impedance speaker applica-
tions or restricted ventilation instal-
lations, an external cooling fan may
be advisable.
9. Battery and ground connections to
the vehicle should be made with
crimped ring terminals of the appro-
priate size (surface area is what
counts); soldering the terminals
after crimping is also recom-
mended.
10. Due to the high-frequency MOSFET
switching power supply, filtering the
power cable is not generally
required (remember that the amp
can’t deliver full output if the power
supply is restricted). Proper
grounding of the signal source is
mandatory for the amplifier to
reach its performance peak. If the
RCA inputs are not grounded
adequately via the signal source,
electrical noise from the vehicle
may be picked up in the system.
