Choosing Mounting Locations - Orion XTREME 200 Owner's Manual

CHOOSING MOUNTING LOCATIONS

The location of your XTREMEamplifier will depend on several important issues. Due to the low profile size of the XTREME 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 obvious of situations.

PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
If you are going to mount the amplifier in the passenger compartment, make sure you have
adequate room for ventilation. XTREME 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 XTREME 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 amplifier. 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 chassis.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT MOUNTING
Do not mount XTREME amplifier in the engine compartment. The amplifier was not designed to
endure the harsh environment of the exterior elements.
