D3 amplifiers do not utilize any fan driven cooling system. Care must be taken to provide
a sufficient flow of air around the amplifier for the thermal management system to
operate at peak efficiency. Air should be able the flow over the top and sides of the amp
freely. Adding a fan to your system can be beneficial in keeping your amp cool. A
minimum 2 inches of space around the amplifier is recommended to ensure proper air
flow. Never mount any amplifier where it can get wet. Water damage is not covered
