MOUNTING THE XP1000.5
AMPLIFIER LOCATION
The location of the amplifier should be care-
fully selected and in the interest of passive
driver and passenger safety the amplifier must
also be securely mounted. Check the suitability
of your preferred amplifier location carefully
before starting the installation. Preferably the
XP1000.5 is mounted in the boot of the car.
The actual mounting surface should be com-
pletely flat.
■
Please note that the amplifier location
must allow for a good airflow across and
through the amplifier housing. The air outlet
for the power supply ventilation is hidden
underneath the detachable side panel on the
(Mini-DIN) audio signal input side of the
amplifier (see fig. 5). Adequate ventilation will
optimize the performance of the XP1000.5 and
improve long-term stability dramatically.
■
In lack of a stable and flat mounting surfa-
ce you may also use a board made from ply-
wood or MDF (medium density fibre-board).
■
Make sure there is no wiring harness, fuel
tank etc. behind or below the mounting surfa-
ce, that may be damaged by the drilling of the
holes for the amplifier remounting screws.
■
Make sure the amplifier is not exposed to
dust (fan!) direct sunlight, humidity, water, oil
or spill of other fluids that may enter the
amplifier.
Ideally after installation there should be a
clearance of at least 5 cm on all sides inclu-
ding the fan outlet on top of the amplifier.
Even after mounting is completed the amplifier
should allow easy access of all controlling
elements on the top panel of the XP1000.5!
MOUNTING THE XP1000.5
Remove the side panels from the amplifier as
shown in fig. 5 using the supplied 3 mm allen
key in order to access the four mounting holes
on the four outside corners of the XP1000.5.
Use the amplifier as a template for the mar-
king of the mounting holes on the selected
mounting surface with pencil or felt-tip.
Pilot-drill the mounting holes on the mounting
surface using a 2,5 mm or 3 mm drill.
Mount the amplifier in place using the sup-
plied selftapping screws with the supplied rub-
ber grommets (see fig.5). The rubber grommets
protect the amplifier from excess vibrations
and electrical ground-loops that can easily
result in audible hum. Secure the amplifier in
its position by tightening the screws evenly
and re-check proper fit after completion.
Remount the side panels using the supplied
inside hex/allen screws.
