Remember, the amplifier can only deliver its rated output when it is not current limited by the power and ground supply wires. This amplifier is designed to drive a speaker load that measures from 2 to 8 ohms. Keep in mind that heat is the long-term enemy of automotive electronics and the lower your © 2003 Directed Electronics, Inc speaker load, the more heat is generated. For low impedance speaker applications or restricted ventilation installations, an external cooling fan may be advisable. 9.
