3. MOUNTING OF THE AMPLIFIER
3.2 MINIMUM IMPEDANCE LOAD
The output stages of the RODEK amplifiers are designed to
give you extraordinary output power into 4 and 2 ohms loads in
normal stereo configurations. In bridged mode, the minimum
impedance load is 4 ohms. The amplifier might suffer from ther-
mal shut-down or even damage, if these recommended minimum
impedance load ratings are not considered appropriately. The
RI-1650D can drive subwoofers down to 1 ohm impedance.
3.1 MOUNTING LOCATION
The mounting location should be carefully selected, preferably
in the trunk compartment of your car! In the interest of passive
driver and passenger safety, the amplifier must be securely
mounted, and special precautions must be taken to allow suf-
ficient cooling. The amp can get quite hot during operation, so
a clearance of at least 10cm from both sides and from the top
of the amp must be considered.
Make sure there is no wiring harness, fuel tank etc. behind or
below the mounting surface that may be damaged by the dril-
ling of the holes for the amplifier mounting screws. The above
mentioned clearance of at least cm to all sides of the amplifier
is not only for proper cooling, but also because the crossover
controls must remain accessible.
The amplifier must NOT be mounted directly to the chas-
sis ground of the vehicle, this may cause to ground loops
with loud hum noise.
