MOUNTING THE HCCA AMPLIFIER
The HCCAG4 amplifiers have a unique mounting system that can be
configured for different install situations. By placing the removable
mounting rails in the "in" or "out" positions the look of the amplifier
mounting can be changed to suit personal tastes or installation
requirements. In the "in" position, you will not see the amplifier
mounting screws and the amp will "float" above the mounting screws.
The amp can also be mounted in a "standard" manner using the "out"
position.

FIGURE A: This figure shows the mounting feet of the
amplifier in the "in" position. To mount the amplifier in
this manner you must mount just the two feet to the
mounting surface before screwing them to the amp. The
distance needed between the vertical sides of each foot
is noted in the figure to the left. Simply measure the dis¬
tance, mount the feet, then mount the amplifier to the
feet.
FIGURE B: This figure shows the mounting feet in the
"out" postion. This method can be accomplished by using
the same procedure as above or by simply mounting the
feet to the amplifier and mounting the amplifier to the
surface as you would a "normal" amp.
CHOOSING MOUNTING LOCATIONS
The location of your HC(^ amplifier will depend on several important issues. Due to the low profile size of the HCCA amplifiers
^ I
possible installation locations that will yield satisfactory amplifier performance. Always mount the amplifier in a
p ace 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 obvi-
ous of situations.
PASSENGER COMPARTMENT MOUNTING
If you are going to mount the amplifier in the passenger compartment, make sure you have ad¬
equate room for ventilation. The HCCA 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
Mounting the HCCA 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 ampli¬
fier. 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 the HCCA amplifier in the engine compartment. The amplifier was not designed
to endure the harsh environment of the exterior elements.
