Make sure that you leave room
for fresh air to flow around an amplifier. This will help to dissipate
the large amount of heat that amplifiers produce.
Staying cool
If the amplifier is to be
mounted upside down, in a rack, under a seat, or enclosed, a fan or two
might be required to ensure fresh air.
Avoiding noise problems
It is good practice to mount
the amplifier itself to a piece of wood or other non-conducting
material. That way the only ground it gets is from the ground wire and
not the mounting screws.
:: Connection ::
How to connect it
Connecting an equalizer can be
fairly simple. Power and ground wires do not have to be as large as
amplifier's wires, since active equalizers use very little power.
Another thing to remember is that equalizers also need a turn-on wire
from the head unit.
Less noise
Make sure to carefully rout
RCA inputs and outputs. Don’t worry too much about the low current
power wiring from the
equalizer, rather worry about the power wiring
from the amplifiers. This will help you to reduce noise.
