Introduction With the Sound Storm Laboratories FORCE F2600D, F3600D and F5000D models, we are introducing three new CLASS D amplifiers, all designed in the USA. These FORCE models feature variable low pass and subsonic filters and a variable input gain control. All three...
• Four (4) mounting screws General precautions Before installing and using your new Sound Storm Laboratories amplifier, please become familiar with all the information contained in this manual. Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
3. Mark the location for the mounting hole screws by positioning the amplifier where you wish to install it.

Important installation considerations for using this amplifier. Your Force Class D amplifier is designed to run with a min- imum load of 1 Ohm. Operating the F2600D, F3600D or F5000D with a speaker im- pedance load below 1 Ohm may result in poor sound qual- ity and damage to the amplifier circuitry.
Low Level Input Wiring Low-level (RCA) input wiring is preferred for best audio performance. Always use a high-quality RCA cable for best audio performance. LINE OUT INPUTS POWER To Audio Inputs of satellite amplifier (if present) C L A S S M O N O B L O C K P O W E R A M P L I F I E R INPUT...
