Owner's Manual

Mounting your ST-B amplifier

Mounting your Zapco amplifier is easy. Just keep in mind a few guidelines:

• The amplifier can be mounted in any direction, on wood, metal, or carpet

• The metal chassis of the amp can be grounded or left isolated

• The amplifier requires adequate ventilation. Creating power creates heat, and cooling

requires air. Position the amplifier with sufficient surrounding area for air supply and

keep the end plates clear for future access

• Keep the amplifier out of the engine compartment or other locations that may

cause excessive heat or moisture

• Do not mount the amplifier to a subwoofer box or other place that may have

excessive vibration

Setting Gains: Gain pots are not volume controls. Before you first turn on your system,

you should make sure all gain controls are set to minimum. Gain controls should be used

only if absolutely necessary. Turning up gain controls causes increased noise, makes

distortion more likely and reduces the dynamic range of your system. If you head unit

does not have sufficient output, you will get much better results by investing in a line

driver to provide more signal to the amplifier.
