Diamond Audio Technology D6 5.2 Manuel du propriétaire

PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION

To achieve maximum performance and life time warranty coverage (see warranty

statement), Diamond Audio strongly recommends that a factory authorized Diamond

retailer professionally installs your new amplifier. The D6 amplifier is an awesome

component with category leading technology, proper attention must be taken during

installation to ensure optimum performance. The authorized Diamond retailer you

purchased your amplifier from has the training, expertise, and tools for proper

installation. If you decide to install your amplifier yourself, please read this manual

through to become familiar with the amplifiers install and set up procedures.

MOUNTING

D6 Reference 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

under warranty.

Mounting your amplifier inside an enclosure is not a good idea unless that enclosure is

equipped with ventilation fans to circulate fresh air through the enclosure.

The D6 amplifier features adjustable

mounting flanges. Should they need

to be moved to a different location,

remove the self-tapping screws on

the bottom of each mounting flange.

Move the flange to the desired

location. Carefully tighten the

self-tapping bottom screws.

Warning - Over tighten these screws

will cause stripping of the thread

and/or screw head.

DC CONNECTIONS

D6 amplifiers need proper power and ground connections to deliver maximum

performance and efficiency. This is typically the least understood part of the installation

process. The D6 power supply is completely defendant on current, not voltage, so it is

truly regulated by nature. Voltage drops due to poor connections or grounding practices

will only cause the amp to pull more and more current to sustain output. This increased

current draw causes unwanted noise, thermal issues, and will eventually make the amp

shut down or cause the vehicles electrical system to fail.

The gauge of the power and ground cables must be capable of handling the current

needed by the entire system. Power and ground cables must be of the same gauge. If the

alternator is not capable of supplying enough power for both the vehicle AND the audio

system, a high output alternator should be installed for best performance.

Batteries and High Output Alternators...

The battery in your car is a chemical storage device for electrical energy generated by the

alternator. It is capable of briefly supplying high currents for cold starting the vehicle as

well as powering other important electrical loads either partially or entirely for a limited

period when the engine is off.

In order to supply the power required for ignition, lighting, large audio systems etc. a car

needs its own efficient, reliable, and constantly available source of energy. When the

engine is stopped, the battery is the vehicle's energy source. When the engine is running,

the alternator is the on-board "electricity generating plant." It is the job of the alternator

to supply power to all current-consuming loads (including the audio system).

Alternator output, battery capacity, and power demand of all electrical loads and systems

must be matched as ideally as possible so the entire system is reliable and trouble-free

in operation.
