Warning!
You can mount the MA4100 in any position, even upside-down. However, you
must maintain proper airflow. Do not install your MA4100 under carpets or enclose
it behind airtight panels. In trunk-mounted applications, be sure to provide venting
for air circulation. Let the amplifier breathe. Without adequate air circulation, your
Tube Driver will reduce its output power to protect itself.

Mounting
You need to mount your MA4100 securely in your vehicle to prevent damage. You
may mount the system right-side up, on its side, or upside-down, provided there is
adequate ventilation.
