S1.600D S1.
Introduction InnoVAte or DisintegrAte! Thank you for purchasing the Lighting Audio Storm Amplifier. Our customers have come to expect that Lightning Audio pushes the edge in audio. Now we will push the edge in the amplifier and woofer business with high value and high performance models. For the first time, amplifiers can be personalized by the customer with accessories like the POWERCell and FANModule. These accessory components are designed with performance and customization in mind.
Accessories POWERCell: All Storm amplifiers can benefit from the addition of the POWERCell, an electrolytic capacitor module that integrates directly to the amplifier through a docking station. The POWERCell delivers big power for transients faster than the vehicle’s electrical system. The POWERCell enables the Lightning Audio amplifiers to withstand the rigors of driving 2 ohm loads. FANModule: Keeping powerful amplifiers cool, especially into lower impedance, is the key function of the FANModule.

InstAllAtion ConsiderAtions The following is a list of tools you will need for installing the Lightning Audio: Adequate Length Wire strippers Electric hand drill w/assorted bits Adequate Length—Red Power Wire Adequate Length—Remote Turn-on Wire Adequate Length—Black Grounding Wire Voltmeter Battery post wrench Wire cutters Assorted connectors Wire crimpers This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your new Lightning Audio amplifier.
mounting locAtions The mounting location and position of your amplifier will have a great effect on its ability to dissipate the heat generated during normal operation To maximize the performance of your amplifier, care should be taken to ensure adequate ventilation. Trunk Mounting Mount the amplifier vertically this will provide the best cooling of the amplifier. Mounting the amplifier on the floor of the trunk will work but provides less cooling capability than vertical mounting.
BAttery And ChArging Amplifiers will put an increased load on the vehicle's battery and charging system. We recommend checking your alternator and battery condition to ensure that the electrical system has enough capacity to handle the increased load of your stereo system. Stock electrical systems which are in good condition should be able to handle the extra load of any Lightning Audio amplifier without problems, although battery and alternator life can be reduced slightly.
Using PAssiVe CrossoVers A passive crossover is a circuit that uses capacitors and/or coils and is placed on speaker leads between the amplifier and speaker. The crossover delegates a specific range of frequencies to the speaker for optimum driver performance. A crossover network can perform one of three functions: High-Pass (capacitors), Low-Pass (inductors or coils) and Bandpass (combination of capacitor and coil). The most commonly used passive crossover networks are 6dB/octave systems.
InstAllAtion • For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the car battery prior to beginning the installation Trunk Mounting Mounting the amplifier vertically on a surface will provide the best cooling for the amplifier. Passenger Compartment Mounting Mounting the amplifier in the passenger compartment will work as long as you provide a sufficient amount of air for the amplifier to cool itself. If you are going to mount the amplifier under the seat of the vehicle, you must have at least 1” (2.

Instalacion • Por seguridad, desconecte el terminal negativo de la bateria antes de comenzar la instalacíon. Montaje en el Malatero del vehícule Monte el amplificador verticalmente con las orientadas de arriba hacia abajo. De esta manera conseguirá la mejor ventilación. Montaje en el Compartimento de Pasajeros El montaje en el compartimento de pasajeros sera eficiente en funcion de la ventilación que tenga el amplificador. Si va a instalar el amplificador bajo un asiento deberá dejar al menos 2.

Installation • Pour votre sécurité, deéconnectez la borne négative de la batterie du véhicule avant de commencer le montage. Montage dans l’habitacle L’installation d’un amplificateur est envisageable dans l’habitacle dès que la convection naturelle est suffisante. Il est possible de fixer l’amplificateur soud un siège si la hauteur de celui-ci permet au minimum d’avoir trois centimètres au-dessus du dissipateur thermique.

Installazione • Per sicurezza, scollegare il polo netativo della batteria dell’auto prima di iniziare l’installazione. Nel Bagagliaio Montando l’amplificatore su una superficie in verticale con le alette direzionate dall’alto verso il basso si garantirá un miglior raffreddamento dell’amplificatore. Nel’abitacolo Montare l’amplificatore nell’abitacolo si avrá un funzionamento regolare se si garantisce un flusso d’aria sufficiente.
