    We have spared no expense in designing these amplifiers, creating the most rugged, reliable, powerful and best performing amplifiers. In fact we are so sure of the quality, that we backup every ATOM 8 amplifier with one year warranty which exemplifies our commitment to the end user. (See enclosed warranty vesseld for details.)

  • Page 4: Installation Basics

    Mounting The Amplifier The ATOM 8 amplifier features four mounting feet which must be attached to the bottom of the amp via predrilled holes (see diagram below). Choose a convenient mounting location with unobstructed airflow. Lay down the amplifier and mark the location of the mounting holes. Remove the amplifier and drill pilot holes for the screws. Place the amplifier and secure it to the mounting surface using the supplied screws.
