a sufficient flow of air around the amplifier for the thermal management system to
operate at peak efficiency. Air should be able the flow over the top and sides of the amp
freely. Adding a fan to your system can be beneficial in keeping your amp cool. A

flow. Never mount any amplifier where it can get wet. Water damage is not covered
