the more heat is generated. For low
impedance speaker applications or
restricted ventilation installations,
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.
