Can I mount my amplifier inverted/upside down in my car's trunk?


We do not recommend mounting any amplifier upside-down, as the heat generated by the parts inside the amplifier end up transferring right back into the amp itself instead of passing through the heatsink. 


This results in an area of the amp that gets superheated, and can cause premature thermal shutdown, or failure to the components. 


To save space, try mounting the amplifier vertically on the back of the back seat or along the side of the trunk instead.
